Artist's Comments

so, this is for the contest called "mythical dreams" over at *Enchantedforest.

I made the actual doll look as dream like as possible, giving her poofy cloud-like hair and a soft, serene look. I also decided for more detail and to enhance the dream-like portion of this, that I would make a base.

The base is made of wood, with small pebbles glued on. there is a tree and some grass and flowers, all stuff I bought from different places. they're just fake flowers and other stuff I found at craft stores. there are also some large blue flowers and some smaller white ones. the pathway is lined with shimmery translucent petals.

the actual horse is made from various types of clay, from scratch, over wire and foil. Her legs, horn, ears, and tail are made from a light flexible clay, so she is slightly poseable. Her hair is rooted in silk/wool roving that I dyed myself. Her eyes are blue glass beads, and she is painted with acrylics. Her name is Augment, hence the deviation title.

I think that's about it; I'm very proud of this piece. It is for sale (base included) for $75 CDN. If no one buys it in the next bit, I might just put it on ebay. We'll see.

I hope you like it :D

edit: I changed up the base a bit since she wasn't standing on it well and it looked a bit bland. it looks fuller now. :D

Does look a fair bit dreamy. Nice job. The bits of blue on the colouring do help.

How many different types of clay did you use?

If I told you there was something I wanted to tell you but I shouldn't tell you because I've already told you about wanting to tell you therefore telling you what I wanted to tell you, have I told you anything at all?

I used 4 types on this. I use super sculpey mostly, but tried out superflex since it sounds fun (flexible clay!) so I used that for her legs, ears, horn, and tail. (now it's really hard to break her too) and then I use a white clay for under her mane and tail so that you don't get that ugly beige sculpey color (it's hard to paint around hair)

then I just use a bit of apoxie sculpt for parts I want to be really hard, like the supportive parts in her feet. :)

thanks for the kind words!
