Finished at last!

At last the finished Alice in Wonderland teapot. The teapot measures 8" inches by 10"inches . I created this piece by first making the armature and then sculpting the entire piece with clay. It features a large dandelion on the back with assorted leaves. On the front the Cheshire Cat sits above the heart shaped frame of the clock . with clock is battery operated and easy to remove to replace the battery when needed. Layers of color washes were used to created an aged distressed look. Thank you for stopping by! Susan

Wip of new work

I thought I would post a few WIP photos of piece I am currently working. Still lots to do yet bases need to be added and lots of tweaking but we're getting there. I really like creating these pieces. Maybe I should take some pottery classes so that I could try and create them as real teapots! Wouldn't that be fun. well off to my studio. smiles Susan

Sneak Peek

Finally I have a peek for you of the things I have been working on for Aha's Alice In Wonderland Challenge. In the back is what I think the toddler Queen of Hearts might have looked like. Dress in her Red and black outfit complete with Crown! Next is a magical teapot with a door that might just lead somewhere in Wonderland but you would have to use a drink me potion to get through. Flutter is a magical butterfly from the looking glass world. Finally Alice, dressed in frilly tulle with blue satin ribbons. She wears a bracelet with a key on it . I wonder what it opens?
I hope to add the mad hatter, the Caterpillar and the Tweedle bros. rabbit and the cat! We'll see how it goes.. But for now these little cuties are just waiting bases and few props. That's all for now! Thank you for stopping by!
