This is my fairy twins shortly after they came out of the oven.
These are my twins after they were painted. Those little features were really hard to paint. I gave them blue eyes at first only to realize that it made them look spooky. So I changed them to dark green. I am making their wigs out of HomeSpun yarn. Her hair is really long. I might cut it shorter or not. I just don't know yet.
After allowing the pieces to dry I trimmed off the excess glue. Then starting at the base of the head I started gluing each piece in place. Funny how long it took to make their hair. I do think that it was worth the time that I invested in it. I'm quite happy the way their hair turned out.

Now I have to start thinking about what am I going to do about giving them wings. I haven't decided yet how to make their wings. I will put them aside until I figure it out. Oh my, there is still so much left to do. They will need little dresses, too
I will from time to time share my progress with you. Stay tuned there is more yet to come!!!
Take Care

these are just delightful - I look forward to seeing how they progress!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm not quite sure how to give them wings. Right now it seems a major stumbling block. Fabric? Paper?

add stickles to some vellum
use 'angel hair' ...you iron it between two sheets of greaseproof paper and it melts the fibres into a shiny weblike paper.
Thanks. I've thought of both of those. These are my paper thoughts. They both will make beautiful wings but I've used them for wings before. I want something a little more long lasting. I do leaded glass and thought about making glass wings...but they would be too heavy. I'm going to try clear plastic packaging and glossy accents. I don't know if it will work but I'm going for it.
