NEWLY made figurines (Pt 2)

Do not worry.. These are purposely made this way. Already completed. But only the head without the body. My husband commented that this look scary. Haha....There will be more of these that I will be making in the near future. I still have a lot of ideas in my mind. Will definitely post it in my blog later after I have completed it.

Ballerina 

This little ballerina doll's skirt is made of laces instead of the paper clay. The laces make the doll feel more delicate and soft like feeling. I used to make the skirts in my previous blog post using paper clay. However, before you glue the lace skirt to the figurine. You have to sew the laces into pleated first.

This doll took me a lot of time to complete especially on the hair part. I almost lost my patience in braiding the hair. Coz sometimes the clay dries too fast if you are slow in making. Then cracks will appear on it. I am of course not asking for perfections. But I hope my creations have no cracks. Some cracks can still be recovered by smothering it out with some water.

NEWLY made figurines

Sorry for the late updates on my blog..... I had been busy when my mum pops over for a 2 weeks visit. Had to bring her around and take care of my mum. After she went back, I rested for another 2 weeks. My so-called workshop was closed for almost a month. During this resting period, I have been studying up on new techniques and ideas from clay making books. And Bingo!!! I think I almost got it....

The Santa boy below is one of my new ideas... This time, I have made some slight changes to the eyes and the face part. Instead of just using beads for the eyes part, I made 2 holes and fill it with some black paint. Ummm.... Pretty hard to describe I guess.. If you really follow my blog from the beginning. You should be able to see the difference  between the dolls I made initially ( my previous post dated May 4 ) and the dolls I made now. The next thing I would like to improve will be the hands and legs part...Might take a longer time...hehe.....

The three babies

These three babies are also my new ideas.. One is holding a lollipop while the other is holding a milk bottle. Both are wearing a slightly different designed baby hat. I have also made some slight changes to the eyes this time. I have realised that how you draw the eyes of the dolls can make a big  difference on the dolls. Different eye expressions can show different characteristics in the doll.

Halloween specials

This Halloween boy looks pretty easy to make. But I actually spent a lot of time to make the pumpkin expressions. To make the pumpkin look more real, I brushed some dark brown chalk pastels to it.

Clowning around???

These two clowns are my very first attempt. Clowns balancing on a glittering ball. The eyes of the clown is more exaggerated. And the mouth is also painted on using a very fine brush
