A little bit of painting work, In genesis Oils Paints.
And once having her head done, I realized how big this head is and the weight, so I didn't trust much on the magnets alone, so I have to add a brass tube to reinforce the ability to be attach on the body.
Wow what a long holiday weekend! But I'm back to work now, here some pics:
Mombi hand in my hands LOL
I wanted to make her full leg in clay but I just remember about her size... if I wanna make this Doll shipping safe I have to sculpt just half leg, this way she will be able to move a little, it will travel soft and loose with a minor risk of getting broke. So the upper part of her leg will be fill up (cotton and fabric) and cover with linen
I started with this piece several days back, yep she is a commission and until now the biggest Doll I ever made around 17" High:, This character has removable heads I think 31 or so, won't be making all the heads right know hehe but only 3:
This is what I have until now, they're almost done, I think the black is kind too dark for Mary, But silly me forgot to order some dark brown before so I just did it will be waiting is arrive before the end of this month, other way I'll have to work with this black. I need to darn on the baby's hair too its too light.
Just to show how tiny is this baby, Its the smallest I ever made, here compare with the size of my hand and even my hand are small, my little fingers fit size 5 o 6 on rings, hard to find for me :(
I wanted to be on time for the "Mother and Baby" contest on the IADR, so My inspirations this time was the Birth of our Lord Jesus, now I'm working in this piece the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus. Yeah Mary has a well detailed body as you can see, but she will be wearing clothes.
My little Sony CyberShot doesn't really take good night pictures, its either to much light or too dark, buy anyway at least you an see more colors and details in the dark pics:
