Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

Coming along nicely...

Have you ever mentioned how you do the flowers? Do you get pre-made fake flowers and sculpt faces on to them or do you do them entirely yourself, or... ?

Thanks, Fram.

The flower is a couple of floral pieces from Michael's Craft Store. The flower is cloth & the rest is plastic & floral wire with a Green Stuff Face. The flower & the stems are from different floral pieces; I wire them together with the wire making tendrils for show & providing the ability to pose the piece on a practical level.

AND the Flower is finished:










...now it's the Faerie's turn...to be painted that is.

Not exactly Earth shaking progress, but progress nonetheless. I did up the Crazy Girls wings, hair, & flesh tones:

...there you have it...such as it is. This is actually the first time I've chronicled a piece 's progress on a daily basis. The normal thing for moi is to post the based & base coated mini; when next seen, it's done. I must say...well I don't really have to say, but I think I will anyway...I am finding it a motivating way to paint.

Looking good so far! Love that grin.

Thanks, Fram. I'm glad you like her.

Here's the finished Faerie Fiend:

...what's next is anyone's guess.

Ooh nice dress colours. Would you say it was blue or gold? 

[beefcake]

That fairy has come up very nicely. Great work.

[von Lucky]

Love your colours (as always) DeafNala.

[throwsFireball]

Excellent as always, Nala.

Ooh nice dress colours. Would you say it was blue or gold?  

Please no.

[DeafNala]

Thanks, Fram. on the color question the answer is "yes"; it is blue & it is gold...I wonder if those are team colors somewhere.

Thanks for the morale building reply, beefcake! I'm glad you like her.

Thanks, von Lucky. It's always good/reassuring to hear some one like my color selection.

I was going to do a starry sky thing on the dress to match the one Foot Knight's shield, but I chickened out.

[Psychoflexible]

Very nice, love it !

[DeafNala]

Very nice, love it !

Thanks for the reply, Psychoflexible. I'm happy you feel that way!

Perhaps she's a Brewers fan.  

For whatever it's worth though, I think you could still try a starry sky!

Oh yeah! She looks like a Bob Uecker Fan.

Now I'm imagining a version of Mr. Belvedere in your world. 

[DeafNala]

Now I'm imagining a version of Mr. Belvedere in your world. 

I would imagine he'd be a revolutionary trying to impose reality on a surrealistic world...sort of The Donald impersonating Che.
