Bellatrix has Arrived and Casting Spells Already!

AT LAST!!!! We have finished and photographed Bella Baby... WHEW!! I say whew because it must be known up from that my dear sweetie Richard HATES to photograph with lots of black fabric in the picture... very difficult... and the bad thing is I LOVE creating dolls with lots of black... so when the time comes to photograph...we square off like two caged tigers ...low growls and a few hisses! But alas I think it worked pretty good. Now I am a bit unsure of colors and contrast as I have a new monitor and still learning to balance everything...so I am hoping all looks OK!

Bellatrix is 5 1/2" tall ...hand sculpted completely in polymer clay (you all saw her butt) ...you have to trust me on the rest! She is painted, hair is tight Lincoln wool. Clothing is silk....hand painted. Her corset or boustia is hand sewn leather. I carved her tiny necklace and Richard carved her wand.

She was a BLAST and I must say...my fav so far....and our first 'dark' character from Harry Potter .... more more more!!!

Now onto something totally different!!

Thanks for taking a peek...and putting up with 'butt shots'

Have a good evening

Our Latest Harry Potter Piece

We recently finished another Harry Potter commission...

(OUR FAVORITES TO DO)...

This handsome gentleman is Kingsley Shacklebolt...a distinguished Wizard working for the Ministry of Magic. He is 1:12th Miniature Scale ...standing at just 6".

Believe me, I would LOVE to say that this is MY Studio in his background...but alas it is just photo trickery!! AHHHHH...to have Hogwarts as a Studio... how fantastic would that be....

Thanks for taking a peek

Another Harry Potter Commission...Hagrid!

Greetings on this fine Thursday Morn... the Sun is shining, the birds are singing I have an extra skip in my step... all appears to be right with the world... but then, I am my Mothers child...keeping a sharp ear open for that 'other' shoe to drop....until then...I will tra la la through the day.

I am sure you don't want to hear me ramble on and on about the day...so for lack of anything better to jot here today...I thought I would post a few pictures of a recent commission we had. Some may have already seen this piece, but many have not so here he is...Rubeus Hagrid...Grounds and Game Keeper for Hogwarts. He is in 1:12th scale..but since he is a 'giant' after all...I had to make him a tad bigger than the classic 1 inch to 1 foot size...I think he figured out to be around 7 inches tall. Polymer clay of course, leather boots, hand dyed jacket, leather belt and carrying bag (with a real carved bone button), a small dagger in a leather sheath...plus a brass Pink umbrella (that really works) and is Hagrid's trademark magical item...
He was a blast to create...oh I do love creating these minis so.



Well that's about it...I think it might be time for me to create a few more Mandrakes and other H.P. items...

Have a great day all....

Later,

Jodi
