Just to prove I am actually working on things here in the depths of my studio, I have an Innkeeper 'up and coming' and a Steam Punk man that looks a little like Mad Max at present! They're coming along nicely but they do make an awful mess while they're being created! The weak looking bent arm will have a mechanical contrivance on it in the end - a prosthesis! At this stage they're al least standing alone! I'm quite pleased with them so far. Mad Max now has hair on and he looks "DANGEROUS" ladies! I modeled him on someone called Nathan Drake. Of course when he is made he'll have a 'Steam Punk' name. I'm making him for the Steam Punk Exhibition towards the end of the year. My Grandson Ben gave me the idea as he's doing a digital equivilent for his digital art course. I've got strict directions on his clothing! In this picture I've just sculpted his face, but I have actually finished his face and hair now and just made his pants. You will be surprised to see him finished! He may yet become a pattern if anyone is interested!
My Blog is where I share my interest in cloth dollmaking. Please comment on my work, ask questions, and we can inspire each other! I am passionate about needle sculpting and developing new techniques and designing new patterns, so everyone can 'have a go'! I hope you will follow my blog and see what I can come up with that's new, and interesting!
