SPRING CLEANING !!!

Along with the spring comes cleaning.
I have opened the box with items to sale. There is this fairy wanting a new home and the last of my Candy and Cinnamon figurines of the first series.
Well... I had to put my hands on Cinnamon... she needed a make-over, because I thought she is more pretty than I allowed her to be at the first time. So I have stripped her down from all the paint and gave her new shades and face-up. And yes, she has eyelash now !

IN MY WONDERLAND

This time I wish to show You something different...

I have spent a lot of time searching, choosing, waiting... followed by few nights of putting together these little wonderland-inspired sets. All made with Love.
I wanted the vintage look and the "Alice in Wonderland" as a charming inspiration.

They are available now in my Etsy shop.

THE NEED OF 3D

I am a learning artist.
I can't really imagine stop learning.
Recently I felt desperate to find a good and cheap 3D body reference. Of course there are some awesome examples from AnatomyTools but quite out of my financial limit. There are also brilliant photos for artists in internet, there are few quality services to register that offer body references. It's a great tool to learn realistic shapes. However, I must admit I am very much "touch everything" person... I just HAVE TO TOUCH ! By the way, I love Louvre... :)
Unfortunately I was very unsuccessfull in my search for cheap 3D body reference of realistic look and correct anatomy... so... I had to do it on my own.

Meet Lavender, my dummy.
Dummy is not the best word probably... She is a Body Of Reference. It sounds better. I can't call her a PIECE. She was not ment to be one. She has a lot of imperfections, she has a lot of breaks which I fixed and covered up in very messy way... She is made from the mix of old crumbly (also not very clean) purple clay and some other combinations... But it is not her purpose to be perfect, she only needs to be still. And in "OK" proportions. I am still learning anatomy myself and I am far from CORRECT but lavender gives me 3D reference to keep the general shape and proportion, the size, the size of the wire for armature, some shapes to not forget or to think in advance while sculpting, also the shapes to correct or make better.
