The Slipper Orchid Fairy Sculpture

Now that I have finished the 12 flower fairies in watercolor, I am working on the 3D version of each of the fairies. Below is the beginnings of fairy #3 in a series of 12 sculptures in sculpey clay. In this particular sculpture, I decided to bulk up the figure by using epoxy first to give strength to the sculpture. This fairy is held by just one foot so it is important to create strength around that area. I hope to finish it by using a layer of sculpey over the epoxy.

Japanese Iris Fairy - WIP

Here is the final piece. This piece was a lot harder than I thought for some reason. After working on it many times over, I thought it was time to let go and move on. Somehow, I still like how it turned out.
Above is the updated version of the fairy. Still a lot of work to do to get this piece to look the way I want to and balance the colors better.
Here is my work-in-progress of the Japanese Iris fairy I started last week. This is my second watercolor on a series of fairies that I hope to paint in watercolors. The fairies I want to paint are all inspired after flowers I like. Enjoy!
Working on a sketch for my next watercolor. This is the second on a series of flower fairies that I am trying to do for my watercolor class. This one was inspired by the Japanese Iris flower.

Trumpet Flower Fairy

I finished my first watercolor piece and I have to say that I sooo love watercolors. I can't wait to start working on my next piece. This time I'll try to play with cooler colors. I have a great teacher, his name is Carlos Alvarez Cotero and he does beautiful work in various mediums http://artcotera.homestead.com/. He teaches at the Mint Hill Arts where I sometimes volunteer. Thank you Carlos for introducing me to this medium and thanks for the wine too!

Trumpet Flower Fairy

Here is my first watercolor piece. Obviously it is not finished yet but I hope to finish it soon. I am still a little bit shy with the handling of colors and pushing their intensities more but I am getting there. I do love the medium. It seems to produce some very nice effects. I can't wait to finish this piece to start another one. We'll see...
