My own little mermaid [tiny] [30 July update on page 8]

she looks better and better every time I check her.
I really like the torso joint...it's so "Gentaro unon 0" like,hee-hee....
can't wait to see her complete!^ ^

 

good work, very nice!

 

Oooo i love her face! (but maybe her upper arm is a little long. :/ )Is sculpey that good? I remember when i first worked with fimo (have to bake) it was so odd after an air drying clay. So easy to sculpt with! :3
Nice work. ^^

 

your mermaid is looking good, the tail seems to be great so far

Wow, you have come a long way with her face I think. I like her a lot. Very expressive

 

Oh noes!!!! Poor thing. Is that the really pretty face from your last update pics?! >~< A tip about sculpey, when you are working that small, you almost NEVER need to use the full amount of time the instructions reccommmend. If it says 15 min, you only need about 9-11 min.

 

Hasel,

Sorry this happened. Sculpey fumes are very toxic, I hope you didn't breath any of it in and I also hope you don't use the same oven for food. Sometimes you can avoid scorching by putting an aluminum tent over the sculpt.

 

i read about someone who bakes her sculpy in 2 turkey roasting pans - the cheap aluminum foil ones you get at the grocery store --- one upside down on top of the other to make an inner compartment that catches the vast majority of the bad chemicals that are deposited when the polymer clay is baked....

haven't tried it myself yet because i'm too clutzy to get the top pan to sit on the bottom one without falling off --- but you could tray that.

i bake my polymer in a tiny toaster oven out in the garage which works ok too....

best of luck doing the new pieces --- that is so disappointing when that happens!

 

She's so gorgeous! I love seeing your progress, she's coming along really nicely!!

 

I use an electric turkey roaster to bake polymer clay in it has a temp control just like an oven, and I always set a timer, sorry they burned

She's incredible. I love the face and the fins on her tail segment. I can't wait to see the big fin at the bottom.

 

Very nice!!!

 

She's gorgeous! I love her face so much! She is enchanting.

 

She is coming out wonderfully.

 

Wow - she's BEAUTIFUL.

 

That is an amazing piece of work - she looks beautiful. And I love the poses you've done with her. She seems like a perfect mermaid - both a bit melancholy, but also playful.
Can't stop staring at the picture of her sitting in the window sill - it's so full of atmosphere.
Impressed and delighted.

 

I completely agree with Zidora - she's gorgeous! I love the poses also, they really have the feel of a mermaid body.

I wish she could come live with me - then I'd take her to the sea (:

 

...eep...
I love this doll!!
You are truly talented!!!

 

I love her, she looks so graceful and melancholy. Its as if theres something shes looking for, but has yet to find.

 

She came out amazing! Great job!

 

Wow! I am blown away at the skill that went into her! She is wonderful!

 

I've been stalking you for a while....GAR SHE'S SO GORGEOUS.

You gonna cast her? If so, count mein for a preorder! > 3<

 

I'm serious though! I've always had a fascination with mermaids, and your girl is GORGEOUS! She also poses fantastically, and I just wanna play with her fins. O 3O

 

Ohmigosh, her hands are so pretty and her nose is delicious. O_______O

 

Those hands are awesome! I love the smooth lines of her features, and the tail is growing on me. (badum-cha) I can't wait to see it all painted and complete!

 

I think you said before that you have two faces, one more cute and one more sexy. Are you gonna cast both?

 

omg i LOVE the tail! She has the most perfect and gorgeous fins!

 

she is amazing, i love her tail! the view of her sitting, resting on a hand, back to the camera, is wonderful, the line of her back, with the little fins!

 

oh my she is so gorgeous now~ I love the old face but the new one is even better!

 

I really like her. The hands are so expressive. Very nice work.

 

.......GAHYAY! I can't wait to see her casted! I'm currently trying to make arms on my dollie. Her shoulders are still too big. GRAH.

 

She's so beautiful! I love the tail.

 

she's gorgeous! out of curiosity? how much would you sell a cast of her for? and can I ask, how "tall" she is? or should that be how long she is? lol

Id be very interested in buying one from you ^_^ so put me on the waiting list ^.^if there is one! I shall keep stalking this thread for more updates! she’s absolutely beautiful!

 

Thank you ^_^ for saying you would contact me!

I was going to Suggest doing a pre-order, I’m sure 50 people would want her ^_^ if she was somewhere between £200-£400 ($400-$800) I could probably afford her.

People know that when they buy things like this, that its a gamble, and I don’t think many people would take part in a pre-order of an un-cast doll, if they weren’t entirely in love with the doll, no matter what she turned out like in the end.

I guess its just waiting to hear what Bobobie and your parents say?

Maybe if you started a "test" pre-order list? to proove to your parents that you could sell 50 if she got cast?

 

shes sooooo pretty XD
i love how you did her Tail XD
really kewl

 

oh! I should have thought of that! yes I would ask a MOD ^^ dont want to step on any ones toes ^.^;

Would you be able to add me to the "test pre-order" list? if it goes ahead? if that wouldnt be too much trouble? Im going to be away for 48 hours due to work ^^; and wont get chance to check this thread until Monday -_-;

 

Ooh, add me to the preorder list! I think maybe $400-$800 is a little expensive for a 30 cm dollie, especially since it's artist made and you're just starting out. I'll try to get money, but I would totally trade a resin version of my dollie. xDDDD

 

Congratulations! The way she poses is amazing!
