Sorry for the long gap between posts! We hope that everybody who celebrates it had a wonderful holiday.
Let's see a work-in-progress from our December meeting. Here is an original design by Peggy Smith. He is
Horus in his falcon persona as god of sky and protection.
 |
| His metal birdcage is covered with kimono silk and decorative fibers. |
 |
| His head is sculpted, painted clay, and his feathers are ingeniously created of upholstery fringe. |
 |
| The cage unlocks to reveal the reason for Horus' protective stance, a fabric-lined nest! |
Peggy says Horus still needs some work, with maybe a little 'bling' added overall. He looks great so far, and we look forward to seeing his final finished self!
Here's another doll that is almost, but not quite, finished...
 |
| A kitchen doll, complete with 'wooden' polymer clay spoon, but still missing her cookbook. |
Made by Andrea Baughman from
Julie McCullough's Secret Keeper pattern (and yes, she is shrunk to only 8 inches tall instead of 12!). We'll just call her cookbook 'backordered' -- who hasn't had that problem with Christmas presents?
