michelle my belle: crazy little monster

December 20, 2010

crazy little monster

just having a little fun in the moments between the holiday chaos.

he's sculpted out of a doll makers clay that i wanted to experiment with.
his hat is made of felt with beads stitched on.
and painted with simple acrylic paints.

oh, if i could only spend my entire life making little creatures...

totally lovin' him michelle!!! what was the doll makers clay you used? i've got a couple on my list to try and i'd love to hear what you thought about the one you tried. looks like you were able to get a lot of detail with it. is it air dry or did you have to bake the little guy?

hope you and your adorable family have a very merry and blessed Christmas girlie!! xoxoxo

love & hugs,
paulette

Could he BE any cuter?!!!
I think you should spend your life making crazy creatures! At least make an Artfest workshop of them!

How can such an ugly little creature be so lovable but he is. Crazy creatures would be a fun class! have a wonderful holiday with your family Michelle.

This is freaking adorable! As always, I am inspired! I second the question: what clay did you use? There are so many on the market...I would love an alternative to Premo...

Hope you and yours have a fabulously holiday!

Hi Michelle! I, too, am curious what dollmakers clay you used for the little monster. I would love to do a sculpture event at the shop with the kids and think this might be really fun. Thanks!
