May is flying by, and I've been busy finishing up projects that have been waiting for my attention and time, in this case for over a year. These are pieces I made using a paper clay product called Half- Cilla which is imported from Japan. It is a nice product with a smooth grain, and it's just as strong, or slightly stronger than Creative Paper Clay. While I do enjoy working with and making things from Paper Clay, polymer clay is the medium which I enjoy working with the most.
These dolls are a personal project, they are obviously inspired by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, but I wanted to create them my own way. They are highly stylized, but give a definite nod to the mice that started it all, and as you know the rest is history. They stand about 16" tall and they are fully sculpted, painted with acrylics, and dressed with real fabrics. I am adding Mickey to my collection, and the Minnie is a gift for someone. Thanks for letting me share them with you on this blog.
