Updates to Website

Hi friends!

I know I only come here sporadically, and updates over the years have been few and far between.

However, this week I will be attempting to update my page...my banner, adding more photos, and just general maintenance. Most of my interactions and views are on social media, which is why I don't update often...but, it's true that not everyone uses social media, which is why i've decided to try and keep this page current as well.

Here is my latest piece, a blackthorn tree hopper faerie, to kick off the updates!

She is fairly small...would be a 2.75" figure if standing. Sculpted from Kato polyclay, base of thorns and rose hips sculpted from cold porcelain. The entire piece measures just under 7" tall.

Stray Sod root faerie

Hi everyone! Pleased to announce that I finally have completed another root faerie, and she will be available for sale on eBay for a 3 day auction, starting Sunday October 7th, at 7pm EST.  Just a reminder that all of the photos here are greatly enlarged to show details, she is equivalent to a 5" figure if she were standing.

I'm putting all of her photos here, as eBay tends to reduce the quality and make them look blurry.  I am putting up the link early, so remember it won't be active until the above time.  I'll be deep in the middle of North Carolina this week, so i'll be unavailable to answer any questions until the auction begins on Sunday. 

Thanks again for all the support and praise as I've worked on this new piece! The extra encouragement has really pushed me to keep going.

Here is the future link to her auction live October 7th, 7pm:

Blood Moon Faerie

My tiny blood moon faerie is complete! I’ve started going back to sculpting with polymer clay lately, despite the fact that it gives me breakouts...nothing can compare with the luminous quality of polymer, when it comes to creating lifelike skin.  Kato has to be my absolute favorite polymer clay for sculpting...It really is the strongest and most flexible I’ve worked with, as well as the most translucent.  I’ve sculpted with a few others, but they just don’t hold up as well when sculpting with such thin layers. This stuff is practically unbreakable though!

This tiny one is 2.75” tall. I really like sculpting fairies in the size I imagine them to be, and this particular vision I had, said “teeny!” She is pretty expressive for a fairy of her size, i think like most of the fae, she is full of mischievous energy.  The most time consuming part of this piece was the wings. I really agonized over different methods again and again, until i got a set that I thought suited her...hope you like how they turned out!

This piece will available for sale on ebay for a 5 day auction starting Tuesday August 14th, at 10 PM EST. I timed her to end on my birthday!

Here is the link...won’t be live until the auction date 

Blood Moon Faerie Auction

New Root faerie complete!

It only took me about a year of slow sculpting, but I have finally finished working on another root faerie!

She is about the size of the others, just under 5” tall.

I’ve decided that I am going to continue to sculpt, albeit slow, and not let my illness get in the way...at some point in the coming week she will be listed on eBay, so please look either here, my Facebook page Chicory Dell Arts on Facebook

or on Instagram @chicorydellarts

 

Break

Please note I am taking a break from creating, and will unfortunately not be able to answer emails until a time that has not yet been determined. Thank you, and faerie blessings.
