Well Hello Again blogger friends.
I just realized it has been a month since I last posted anything. Wow! Time sure flies. What have I been doing? I am so glad that you asked. Jazzy and I took on a huge project this time. I really tested all our skills. We sculpted a bard doll out of polymer clay and then costumed him. He is clay, fabric, leather and wire armature. The base was created from a slice of a felled Aspen tree and a piece of driftwood from our yard- (Do not ask me how lucky I feel. That piece of driftwood could not have been anymore perfect.) Now before I show you the picture you must understand a couple of things. 1. this is our first sculpture and 2. we do not know how to sew. (thank goodness for liquid stitch)
Here he is:
I started this project from Dawn Schiller’s book Faemaker. I thought I was going to make Fetch. Then I purchased Wendy Froud’s Dvd Making a Faery figure and Creating a character figure. As I sculpted, I used techniques from both artists as well as others on the net and next thing I knew, I had Zephan the Bard.
I hope you like him. Jazz and I sure had fun making him.
Wendy and Jazz…. Helloooooo!! Wondered if you were ok. This is truly A-mazing. Wow!!!! What a talented duo you are.
Sending hugs,

Aw thanks Miss Anne. yes we did all of it by ourselves. Jazz insisted on the bone in his nose LOL Hugs back. Wendy and Jazz
That Jazz is one creative boy! For your first time creating this, I’d say you were a pro if I didn’t know. This is truly a work of art!
Yes, I do not know what I would do without him. Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate your looking!
Hi Wendy,
For a first try this one turned out great. You seem to have a way with clay. with the egg’s and this festive fellow.
Greatings,
