New Sculpts on Etsy!

These two cuties have recently made an appearance in my Etsy shop. (And if you’ve noticed, quite a few new dolls have shown up there too! Psssttt. More to come!)

Santa Claus — a lovely head to toe sculpture in green & taupe stripes with a phenomenal beard!

And Harriet–a prim & proper little miss & the first doll in my collection wearing the new metallic Martha Stewart paints. They are delicious, I tell you. I am having to restrain myself from adding metallic paint to EVERY doll. She also has a bit of Martha Stewart glitter on her hairbow. It’s the best & so sparkly!

You can view more pics of these little guys or purchase them in the Winter and Christmas section of my Etsy shop. Or just click here.

“Give me paint!” they say.

Sculpted Works in Process…

Shelby – A Woodland Sprite

I’m so excited to introduce this little lady to you. Her name is Shelby. She is an OOAK (original, one of a kind) woodland sprite & the first of many pieces which I consider to be a type of sculpted vignette.

Shelby is my first head to toe sculpt & I have to tell you I’ve had so much fun dreaming her up & watching her come to life. Each layer of clay revealed a new layer of personality & each layer of paint really brought her to life! Needless to say, this little lady has already inspired a couple of other ‘Sculpted Vignettes’ & I already have many sketches littering my workbook of new dolls that *need* to be completed.

Shelby is sculpted from paper clay over various pieces of styrofoam & wooden armature (without the use of any molds) & is secured and sculpted onto a wooden base. She stands 11″ tall & is 7″ wide at the base. She’s been hand-painted in many layers & has a beautiful, aged patina reminiscent of vintage toys. She’s sealed, signed & dated & comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Shelby is available for purchase on the PFATT Marketplace June update. You can click here to purchase! (PFATT Marketplace updates on the 10th of each month at 1 PM EST.) Be sure to check out the awesome works offered by fellow PFATT Marketplace members.
