Winter Awakening or La Plume Blanche

Next piece I am currently working on is La Plume Blanche. She is in a low dancer pose, balanced on one foot. Her hands reaching upwards toward the full awakening of the winter season.

Red Dancer

In this piece I worked with the balance of the figure leaning back into a scarlet red cloth. I like the intrigue of the pose and I enjoyed hand painting her eyes. She is paperclay over armature, mohair, silk cloth and on a marble base.

Tree Of Life

This is my newest creation Tree Of Life. Here is a photo of her in her beginning stages and two of her near completion.

The Tree Of Life shows up in many cultures. The roots grow up into the sky with the branches reaching down into the earth. Here is where we understand that the material world and the spiritual world are but a reflection of one another as in the reflection of a tree at the water's edge. I have sculpted this piece in a Yoga pose called Adho Mukha Vrksasana which is translated as "Downward Facing Tree". The Tree Of Life is symbolized by the Banyon tree which is thought of as perfectly symbolizing life due to it's unending expansion.

She is currently for sale on ETSY; http://www.etsy.com/listing/76385842/tree-of-life

I Dream Of Samarai

This piece was sculpted in full and anatomically correct before I began to place her adornments and dress her. I do this with all of my dolls. It just seems like cheating to do otherwise and I know that she is whole beneath her dressings. Besides the practice sculpting is edging me toward being a better sculptor for which I aspire. I don't think anyone ever becomes so adept at anything that there isn't room for improvement and I will always strive to be better. I placed a rod into her armor to suspend her on her pedestal so that she would hover in mid air. The photos of her body are over exposed but they are all I have. You can see the progress. For her armor I used very fine metallic powder which you then burnish (rub) to buff it out. For her dress she is wearing many different versions of silk and her hair is made of humanely shorn mohair.

SOLD
