The Sunflower Fairy


The Sunflower Fairy

This is my contribution (besides a lot of my time) to the JMAC (art center) auction this year. She's fully jointed and needle sculpted. Her arms and fingers are wired so they are posable. Her eyes are clay and hand painted by me. I then insert them into the head with lids and lashes. I used acrylic paint for her facial details and highlights. She has sun flowers I made with tissue and other things. They were so much fun to make I made to many for her so I got to give some away and keep a couple for myself. Her little elfin shoes are hand sewn from felt. Her hair is actually yarn that I unraveled and sort of combed. She has wings which you can't see in this picture. If you'd like to see her wings check out my flickr. She also has bloomers, there is a pic of them on flickr as well. I had a blast making her and let's hope she sells for a lot of money!
