Funny faces




OK, OK, I am still stuck on this faces thing. With the vampire and my grandmother down, I was itching to do more. You can read about them here.




Now, I have these guys.



I used suntan Cernit and decorating chalks and then antiqued with Neo-opaque Brown my all time favorite antiquing medium.

Since I have to make jewelry, I thought why not put them in the copper findings I make.



This is what I usually do with them.













I love Dawn Schillers Oddfae in findings.

I would love to be as good as her, but I know that practice will make perfect or a least better and I am inspired by her work. Viktor is one of my favorite pieces and we did it together. I did not do the face.

She helped me get back in to the sculpting thing after not doing any for a very long time. Her encouragement and gentle hand brought things back long buried.

That was at the last Sandy Camp, she did a couple of impromptu classes.

I enjoyed playing with the Cernit for sculpting more than any of the polymer clays I have ever worked with. It sort of just sculpted itself. I love the way it comes out after baking it.

This is what I did then.

I call him Snakeman and he is one of my all time favorite coneheads. LOL!! He is my only conehead.

Thank you Dawn! I am having so much fun!
