This is my latest sculpt, a mixed media piece. His name is SeBaustianń Farceuŕ, and is a French court entertainer, also known as a jester.
Below, what he looks like "underneath it all."
I create my sculpts from my own recipe for papier mache. It starts out with newspaper dust and then I add some PFM to make it workable. That's Pure Frickin' Magic to you. (grin)
I work over 20 guage galvenized wire armatures.
I've had this little sterling ring for AGES and could only fit a person with very skinny fingers.
He's assembled and now he's gettin' dressed!
His shirt is done!
His jacket is pinned closed while he sits patiently in my workroom for me to finish up his costume.
Now that he's fully dressed he sits quietly in my living room. I don't think he'll stay there forever but he does look pretty good in there with all of the other jewel tones and colors that I love:
One simply must have beautiful accessories.
SeBaustianń's brooch is actually a real piece of vintage jewelry!
His hair is sculpted to flip up in the back. He has a middle part and very heavy bangs. He absconded with MY gold earrings.
Inside his jester's hat... I constructed it this way because I just couldn't bear to hide that fanstasic hair of his!
How about these fancy pants for a fancy guy!
These two buttons on the front of his jacket were pretty pricy but I sure do like them.
The buttons on his hat just happened to match his sceptor. I found them a couple months after I finished it.
Here is a close-up of his sceptor. This was the first thing that I created late Winter 2008, even before him. I saw that in my mind's eye first.
All you ladies out there KNOW you want a cute pair of flats like this! The soles are real leather and they are fully lined. No, I'm not taking orders. LOL
