Updates on my Figurines

Hi there.... It's time for me to post my NEW updates again.. Hope my latest works is not too disappointing...  Thanks for your support and viewing my blog. I really appreciate it so much. Whenever I see somebody checking out my blog, youtube or facebook, I am so HAPPY!! It motivates me to make more better and beautiful crafts.

The Bridegroom & the Chef

Maybe you might be wondering why I only made the bridegroom. And where is the bride? I did tried to make the bride but failed to make the white wedding gown. After several failed attempts, I gave up temporary. However, I will definitely try to make the bride again. As for the chef, it is much more easier to make than the bridegroom except for the chef hat. The turkey that he is holding was made long time ago. 

I realised that the hairs on the figurine need not be just brown or yellow colour only. Different hair colour will give a different feeling to the figurine. Here on the picture on the left, I have made a small girl in a jumpsuit and two flower fairies. Adding a bit of glittering stuff only on the wings and the small flower on the hat of the flower fairies will give a fantasy like feeling. I have learnt this from experience. In the past, I would put glittering stuff all over the figurines except the face, hands and legs. It seems awkward. A bit of glitters at the perfect spot of the figurines is more than enough.

Bedtime

This took me half a day to complete. The bed frame this time is made wrapping a thin film of paper clay onto a cut out polystyrene board. In my previous experience, I realised that without the polystyrene board, the clay tends to bend after dry. Also, you can cut down the amount of clay used. The eyes of the boy is made in a totally different way too. Sleepy eyes. Nite nite...... Zzzzzzz....

Puppy clinging onto a pile of towels

Among all my recent works, my favourite piece is this small puppy and the bedtime boy. For this, you will have to make the towels first and stack them together before you start on the puppy. Make texture on the towels by using a toothbrush to give it a more realistic look. Checkered, striped, plain colour and polka dot towels will create a cheerful figurine. Also dun forget to add texture to the puppy. So it will not look plain.
