This item is SOLD THANK YOU!
Ok these are my newbies 4 sale. I am in the process of remaking them and so they will have different makedo posts than the pictures. These are not completed just yet but almost done. I am putting this up because they sell out quickly and I am only making one set. They are both made from muslin painted with Gesso and the painted, molded, wired and painted some more. They have molded clay horns, bat wings, and the boy holds a skull staff. The girl holds out her tongue which is a separate piece totally from the doll face. I can go on forever about the detail work here but I will let you look at pics because they speak louder than words.
So I woke up with this nagging feeling since yesterday to make this doll. this pic was taken around 7 AM. I started making the wire armature and putting floral tape around it to hold it together.
You can see it took a while. It was like 11AM when I got done wrapping and making armature....I am still in jammies at this point.....I had to do this though was bugging me.....
Then I painted the armature and it being 100 degrees today, it dried quickly. Then I added his chest cavity shown here. Eventually his other parts were added but I didn't take pics as you can see what my hands looks like and they still are stained this way.....See pic below.....
Ok this is the cone he holds. it has a battery operated tea light in it. Looks kewl in the dark as I punched holes through the cone and the light peeks through them. The cone I painted orange for color and "pop" and then the holes I dotted black as well as the trim and handle....
The Pumpkin Sentinel has a full wire armature body and arms and fingers--no legs----He can be ent and posed. His armature was painted black then stained over that. It has all been wrapped in floral tape. His chest cavity is made from muslin, lightly stuffed and painted gray with black ribs then attached to the armature.
If you look at this side pic, the armature is like a hand and grabs his head, holding it in place. I also sewed it donw so it doesn't come out. Has a black grubby cheescloth cloak held by 2 rusty safety pins in the front.
The wind was blowing in this pic giving him the illusion of flying. His head is round and painted orange, his stem is twisted grubby black cheesecloth. His eyes and mouth are pieced onto the doll. Painted black and then dotted with a yellow eye if you look close. I just wanted a hint of an eye.
