"Sprite" (2010)
Sprite's head, hands and feet are needle sculpted then painted; her body and legs are made from cotton fabric which I dyed using a deconstructed screen printing method and MX reactive dyes. Hair made from knitted tubing; wings of a metal-like paper cut to shape and enhanced with dimensional paint. The little boobies are made of felted wool; arms from carpenter ruler. The flowers are made of polymer clay. She sits atop a seat made from cardboard tubing and cereal box, coated with acrylic ceramic tile adhesive and finished with gold paint.
I'm happy to say that "Sprite" sold at her first public outing a couple of weeks ago. I know she found a happy home.
Thanks for visiting my Pink Saturday blog!
