Semester break starts monday. Of course, this means we have homework, but we don't have to turn anything in until school commences again.... I don't know who likes this more, the teachers or the students. =) Anyway I decided I did NOT want to do much homework today, so this was the result. Fairies! I did want some nice fairies. They are sculpted out of super sculptey, with tons of powder and glitter. The wings are sculptey III and liquid polymer clay. I had sculpted most of the body of the little one a few weeks ago, but I finished her up and made her a head and wings. 
Nine out of ten fairies agree: this is humiliating! The bright blue bead is to keep her hands in the right position for baking. My only baking crisis was that the little gold fairy, the standing one, had her head fall down, but I propped her up on the second fairy and all was well. 
Before baking. 
Note gum-wrapper clothing.... 
After! A foot. Note that these pictures were taken at nearly seven PM at night, thus the poor photo quality and colors. I was going to wait to post about my fairies until I could get some pretty outdoor photos, but I suppose I will get those later when the rain/hail/wind slows up, and I get sun so their glitter and powder will sparkle. 
I plan to make wigs for them, possibly paint eyebrows (I tried, but it's late and I have no idea what colors to make the eyebrows!) make them clothes because kleenex isn't really cutting it, and of course get mor photos of the little things. I don't have good pictures of the sitting one yet. I think her eyes need more work, anyway.... 
But anyway, I now have fairies.
