Another New Piece Celest

Okay this is exactly how I've been feeling lately! Meet Celest...she used to fly over the creative kingdom warning the other steampunk souls of what the Evil Soul Sucker was really up to. That is until the Soul Sucker caught her. He made sure she couldn't tell another soul by surgically zipping her mouth closed, then he broke her halo. Edna and her band of rebels rescued Celest, but not before it was sadly too late. Celest cries tears of blood over not being able to sing her song of warning.

She's completely hand sculpted, out of paper clay, over an armature. She is 10 1/2" tall, by 3" wide, by 3" deep. She has a vintage watch part for her left eye and one on her chest. Her wings are made of a vintage belt buckle. Her neck was some kind of vintage wooden spool or bobbin? One top of her head is a small clear knob (I think it's acrylic but I'm not sure) and her broken halo is from a vintage clock. I painted her in layers, then sealed her with a matte finish.

I've just added her to my etsy shop :o) http://www.etsy.com/listing/66357121/steampunk-souls-paper-mache-art-doll I was able to work on a few more pieces, both skellies for STJ's update that's coming up soon too! Stay tuned for those pics! Have a great night everyone! xo Michele

Happy 4th of July & Charlotte

Happy 4th of July everyone!! I know I promised to be a better blogger, and failed. Mega fail. I've just been spread so thin lately :o( But I did want to pop in and say Happy 4th and show you all what I've been working on lately ;o) This is Charlotte, I believe Charlotte already has a new home. She's 19" tall, by 4" wide and 3" deep.

Have a great weekend everyone and be safe!! xo Michele

Spooky Time Jingles Etsy Shop Now Open!!

I'm sorry I've been so absent lately! I've been working my tail off I just haven't had time to blog, sadly. I took a full time job a while back so that's been keeping me busy on top of the National Halloween Show I participated in with Spooky Time Jingles and then the secret project that I've hinted at. I'll be able to tell you more closer to November ;o) I've made 5 pieces for that. Which I think I might have shown you all most of them anyway ;o) So there were only 3 pieces that I sent to the National Halloween Show that didn't sell there! Hooray! And they are now available in Spooky Time Jingles etsy shop! 

Click on the spooky time jingles picture to be taken to the shop! Lots of great art there! 

Here is the Biohazard Medic that I have in the shop:

He is one of my all time favorites!! There two more pieces that I've included in the shop!

I'm trying to get a piece made for the Spooky Time Jingles update tomorrow night at midnight but I'm not sure I'm going to make it! I'll let you all know if I do! Hope everyone has been having a great summer so far! xo Michele

Busy, busy, busy!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!! xo Michele

I promise I haven't been slacking!

I'm sorry I've been so absent lately! I promise I haven't been slacking! Between finally getting over that nasty bug I had, working full time and working on another project I just haven't found the time to blog lately :o( I've missed you all! This is Isabella and she's for a secret project that I'll tell you all about later ;o) But I just thought it would be nice for everyone to see that I am working! I promise! Isabella is 11 inches tall to the top of her hair so she's a bit bigger than the other steampunk souls I've been creating :o) Hope everyone is well and being creative :o)) I'm off this weekend, so it will be a mache marathon!! xoxo

She has vintage watch parts for her right eye and behind her left eye. She has a vintage watch piece on her chest and a vintage key in her back. There are two screws on her arms (they do not move).

In her hair is a vintage rhinestone button. Abey is hand sculpted out of paper clay over an armature (no molds ever used). She is 8" tall  x 3 x 3" deep.

Happy Mother's Day & Charlie

Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there! I hope your day is filled with special people, sunshine and love!

It's been a while since I blogged! I was super busy with the National Halloween Convention artwork, which is going on this weekend by the way! Lots of really cool artwork there with Spooky Time Jingles!! Then I got sick with some kind of upper respiratory nastiness! I'm finally starting to feel a bit better! In the meantime I created Charlie, another evil steampunk soul sucker medic. I'm loving creating these guys! He's a bit bigger than normal 14 1/2" tall by 4 x 4" Lots of creepy steampunk goodness! He's available in my etsy shop today :o) Just click the word etsy and it will take you there :o) I'm working on some steampunk souls for the next Spooky Time Jingles update on the 13th!
