La bitacora desprolija de un hada artesana.

💜 My second doll, Lily.

For her wig, I used locks of natural mohair that I washed and dyed. The tips were originally a very pale violet, although I think the color gradually faded over time with exposure to sunlight.

It was my first time working with natural fibers, and I found it incredibly enjoyable to use hair that could be washed and dyed with the same products I use on my own hair.

Lily and Mora are made from air dry clay. I hand "casted" each of their more than 20 individual parts using rather unusual multi - part push molds that I had to come up with because we dont involve ourselves in the affairs of plastic resin in this studio.

They stand about 34 cm (13.4 inches) tall.

Satisfying Roombox - making moments 🗝️

[rondadehadas]

Here's my first character! I took these pics when she was finally finished and you can see some of the roombox i made for her at the time.

🧵✂️I think the most difficult part for me was sewing her clothes: everything is tiny, half the time idk what I'm doing and for some reason sewing makes my back/ neck feel horrible in a way other crafts don't...

Despite that, I somehow managed to complete her outfit and it looks decent even though the seams are not very straight and the edges could be neater.

I'm very proud of her but I still couldn't come up with a story for this character...

🌱 This is the sculpting process for the base doll from which two sisters were born.

🌙✨ Some of these pics I took as I worked , often at night and with my working lamp as only light source, mostly to find out what she looked like in camera.

🌞 Others I sent eager and excited to my friends showing them my progress, amazed that her joints actually fit and moved properly.

I started working on them about 5 years ago with considerable hiatus between them.

Today I share them here, like a message in a bottle, hoping it inspires and encourages someone to make art, as much as others artists inspired me first 🎨
