Back to the sculpt !
Finally got all the stuff put away that I dragged up to the University for the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival. We never got the final project finished but we got enough done that we can finish at home. I still have to take a photo of that book.
Today was an absolutely gorgeous day so I took my Paverpol and my candlestick sculpt and went outside to play. That stuff is incredibly messy! The piece is coming out wonderfully through ...
This is what I started with .. the painted base. Lots of layers and some texturizing medium to give it some 'tooth'. I didn't do such a great job of joining the body with the candlestick but the clothes will cover it. Shhhhh ....

You won't believe it but this took me hours to do. I took a piece of a sheer blouse sleeve and ripped it up - you're supposed to use natural materials with Paverpol but you know me - I don't do things properly half the time. I thought it was a silk chiffon but I'm not so sure now. She doesn't have hair - it's just the frayed edge of the material I wound into a headdress. There's lots of threads stuck on here - probably why it took me so long - fraying the material to get hold of them. Tomorrow I will start to embellish her.
WOW! I am sittin here saying WOW out loud! awesome job! WOW! love the head piece ! The colors are gogeous! love how you texturized the base too. WOW!!!!
Jean
OH judi she is wonderful I LOVE her...I see jean is thrilled with what you are doing...you just amaze me...wohooo
Posted by: Sherry Goshon at July 23, 2006 9:06 PMYou are doing fantastic on this Judi! Wow! Maybe Jean will run this again through the winter months, I wanna play too!
Posted by: Kerry at July 24, 2006 12:52 AMShe's fabulous, Judi! I was sure that you would do a great job with this technique...and ooh, I was sooo right!
She looks so cool & MODERN! Very 'fashion model'! The blue is a wonderful & totally unexpected touch! I am just determined to try this now! (But I won't show you, because whatever I come up with will be so anticlimatic after yours!) Jean has started a craze with this great idea! And you have taken it to a new & very marvelous dimension! Judi, you were born to create, you know! I MEAN that! Bowing, bowing, bowing!
Posted by: kai at July 24, 2006 8:32 AMJudi, you just continue to bowl me over with the things you create. Between you and Sherry you put me to shame. It has been so very long since I have created anything. This piece completely blows me away.
Posted by: Sandra Corson-walker at July 24, 2006 3:07 PMJust passing by. And I have to say, she's just lovely! I loved reading about your process. I've been wanting to work with paverpol for some time now. And now I'm totally inspired to finish a few 1/2 finished sculptures that I was stumped on how to finish. Thanks!!!
