Bye Bye Little Friend...

Yesterday My little Tunip Thief left me. I am over the moon that someone out there actually bought a real art piece of me and something that I haven't under priced for once. I started to doubt that it would ever sell, but when I got an email that morning I just jumped out of bed. This means so much to me as an artist and this is what makes my self-confidence a little better every day. So thank you whoever you are. I will miss my Turnip Thief but thanks to you I now have more inspiration than ever! Thank you!

My first Sculpture - The Turnip Thief

 This is my first EVER sculpture and I finished it two days ago. I am so happy with it and it has pushed me and an tested me on all levels. Not only that but it has given me a creative spark that is hard to describe. I think this is what I was always meant to do. It took me about a week to complete and I've been working on it more or less every day. I'm looking forward to making more of these in the future indeed, however it is very time consuming and not cheap but I don't care. I need to do more!

We decided to take him out for a photo shoot yesterday as I feel that this little creature is something special and need a special environment. The photos came out great and the Turnip Thief came alive in its forest surrounding. He also caught allot of peoples attention. One man came running up to my boyfriend with his camera ready shouting "Is it an OWL!" hahaha... I would love to hide in the forest and put this little fella down and watch peoples reactions for a day lol!

Here are the rest of the photos:

The Turnip Thief can be bought from our Etsy shop :) with FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE!

The Turnip Thief...

I have finally started my first furry sculpture. Started it all last night. The only thing that has held me back from starting on it is basically finding nice glass eyes to work with. But I have been stupid and I had the answer right under my nose the whole time. I do have glass domes that were meant for jewellery making, but since I have stopped the jewellery making I have lots of material just laying around. I painted my own eyes with acrylic anyway and I put the eye into a bit of Sculpey Clay and chucked it in the oven to see if the paint would be able to withstand the heat. And it DID! So started creating straight away. And this is how far I've come. I need to head off to work now and it is my boyfriends birthday today so I will not be doing any more work on this little cutie today but I think it will be finished in not too long. I will document the progress through instagram and in here as well.
