Works in progress: baby fairies!
These are just the baked sculptures. They still have to be painted and decorated, and they need wings (notice the holes in the back of the one that’s on its tummy).
They’re quite fun to make, though perhaps a bit more cutesy than my usual work.
Right now most of the work I am doing involves cramming fairies, grotesques, and make-believe creatures into bottles and jars, so I’m entitled to do some cutesy-pie baby fairies to balance stuff out.
Despite their tiny size (1.5-2.5 inches long) these are still sculpted in my usual method: I sculpt the head first, bake it, and then sculpt the rest over a wire armature and bake the whole thing.
