Something new for me!! I'm starting on a new series of hanging disk figures and this is the first of 8 sculpted buddies I have planned. His name is "Disc Jacky." (I know, I know, but I couldn't resist the name.) I thought the figures would be smaller, but little oh me still ended up with a 13" long figure from the tip of the boot to the top of the head, so calling them an ornament isn't accurate. They are made of wire, paperclay, and a paper mache disk.
Below is a close up of the DJ's face, bat-bow tie and sculpted little hands. Those hands were fun and relatively easy to sculpt, and I love the way paperclay lets me do that level of detail. I didn't do fingernails though, but it would be possible with this clay. I got my new order of paperclay yesterday so I'm good to go for combining celluclay and paperclay on an upcoming piece.
Hope he makes you smile!! Have a creative day!
