Black Widow

This is a Project for a Contest, the Challenge is to make a Creature based just on a Styrofoam head, using the most simply materials on hand. And so I did

I just wanna say that I have no training at all on FX Make up, I'm a Sculptor/Artist/Artisan of many talents and YES is it my dream on going to a FX Make Up School!!

I was inspired on the big jumping spider I have on my garden, I think they are cute! This came out of my blank imagination I didnt watch any reference of picture design or so, was just the spare of the moment and well I do like making Females Characters.

Materials:
- Styrofoam head
- Styrofoam balls (and some extra cut off pieces for horns) 
- News Paper
- Masking Tape
- Mod Podge
- Acrylic Paints
- Paper Clay (Premier)
- Cold Porcelain (what a heck is that? Is clay made out of corn starch and white glue)
- Diamond Glaze
- Craft Paper
- Faux Hair
- Vintage Jewelry
- Trim and lace
- Craft Roses
- Tacky Glue
- 3D Paint
- two pieces of foam
- Hot glue gun

The history of Divina Beings...

I know i wasn't posting for a while here, not sure many people is blogging now a days maybe not body will see my blogs at all... anyway here I go.

"Divina" is my own character she is an Spirit from the Forest somehow magical and fantastic but yet  she is able to materialized herself into a creature that looks human like with some features from Forest Animals. Im gonna be coming up with a full history for her maybe come up with a book or at least a comic.
She is somehow good and evil, cute and creepy she protects the Forest from anybody who attempt to destroy and sometimes she'll be violent to the point of killing. She doesn't really eat but only human hurts from the evil people she kills.

I made her entirely in Polymer Clay, have flocked fur (from recycle) and cashmere goat's hair. She stands approx. 12" Tall.

"Pan" El Laberinto del Fauno

Inspired on Pan's Labyrinth. 13" high Polymer Clay OOAK Figure, realistic hand made eyes, Tibetan's lamb looks for hair, leather and mixed media accessories all hand made by me.
Available now among some other of my Figures in Ebay or Etsy
