MISS MELONY "SQUIRREL WIP"

Squirrel Art Doll Work In Progress by Bethann Scott

Miss Melony received her bushy white tail today. I placed a Thunbergia flower from my garden in her hand. I thought about sculpting one from paper-clay.

 Sill much work to do.

SQUIRREL WORK IN PROGRESS

 The Squirrel's finally have their bodies except for the arm sleeves. The sculpted head, hands and legs are not secured in place yet because I still have to do more sculpting and then paint. So do they look like squirrels or mice???

SQUIRREL WIP

This is just the beginning stages of the sculpt. I've never made an animal's head using paper clay. I also have to remember this is a "character figure" and not a "realistic" squirrel.

Squirrel Head Sculpture WIP by Bethann Scott

I like to sculpt during the summer and fall months. I can sit outside and not worry about the mess Creative Paper Clay can make. Most of the mess comes from the sanding part. I have a balcony overlooking our backyard and enjoy watching the birds and yes, the squirrels too!
