Since I published a pic of some of my sculptures in progress, I thought maybe I should show you something a bit more finished. this Santa was the head on the left in the previous photo. he has no hands yet and he will eventually have elves and a sleigh.


Here is a full body shot and one with my hand so you can see the scale. I have such a good time doing these dolls, I almost feel guilty doing it!

For those who may not have seen my work before--the faces and hands , and anything that is "skin" is sculpted from translucent polymer clay. The body is a soft body over a pose-able wire armature.

I design and sew the costume and make the boots--real leather--and any additional details and accessories--whatever is needed to complete the vignette.
