Not only does this process allow you to express your love for the fall season, but it also results in a doll that is entirely your own, one that holds the warmth and creativity of your hands. It’s the perfect project for any creative soul looking to immerse themselves in the magic of autumn.

CHARMING MS FOX SCULPTING CLASS designing anthropomorphic animal art doll

CHARMING MS. FOX tutorial is available again!

This time I updated and added 1 Video for Sculpting the Head for ms Fox,
so you can follow along.

I also updated and detailed the video about a few embroidery stitches.

Welcome to our whimsical workshop where imagination takes center stage! Today, we're diving into the enchanting world of anthropomorphic creatures as we embark on an adventure to create our very own charming foxes, brought to life with clay and fabric.

As we gather around our creative haven, let's first embark on a journey through the woodland realm, where the graceful fox reigns supreme. With its elegant stride, bushy tail, and keen gaze, the fox embodies a spirit of curiosity and cunning that captivates our imagination.

Now, armed with inspiration from nature's own masterpiece, it's time to roll up our sleeves and breathe life into our clay canvases. With each gentle touch and sculpting stroke, we mold the form of our fox companions, shaping their bodies, defining their features, and capturing the essence of their playful personalities.

But our artistic journey doesn't end there! Oh no, for our foxes yearn for a touch of flair and fashion. With scraps of vibrant fabric as our palette, we adorn our creations with coats of fiery orange, snowy white, and midnight black. With each snip and stitch, we craft intricate patterns and textures, transforming our clay sculptures into lively characters bursting with charm and charisma.

As our foxes take shape before our eyes, we marvel at the magic of creation and the boundless possibilities of our imagination. With each detail meticulously crafted, from the flick of an ear to the twinkle in their eyes, our foxes come to life, ready to embark on their own fantastical adventures.

And so, as we gather our finished creations, we revel in the joy of our shared journey, each fox a testament to the creativity and spirit that resides within us all. With laughter ringing through the air and hearts brimming with pride, we bid farewell to our woodland friends, knowing that their enchanting presence will forever linger in the halls of our imagination.

In this workshop of wonder and whimsy, we've discovered that with a dash of imagination and a sprinkle of creativity, anything is possible. So, until our next adventure beckons, may your dreams be as wild and wonderful as the creatures of the forest, and may your heart always dance with the joy of creation.

Xoxo, Elena

(Step-by-step class in PDF format.)



 
Always wanted to play with airdry clay and create a miniature masterpiece? This is a great course for you to try your hand and explore this fun and easy medium.
 
This class (tutorial) is the 1st in the series of AIR DRY CLAY lessons. The second will be dedicated in sculpting and exploring paperclay (or any other airdry clay) in combination with ENCAUSTIC mediums.



 
TUTORIAL DESCRIPTION:
The course is dedicated to working in air dry clay (paper clay) to create two mini figures: URBAN ANGEL (Portrait/Bust) and CELESTIAL (body shape).







Time to play with paper clay or air-dry clay!

This is a great study course to explore paper clay…look at it as “free form” paper clay. This course is Part 1 to prepare you for Part 2, which will “Sculpting Animal Forms & Encaustic Techniques. Great intro to Paper Clay or Air-Dry Clay, which either one can be use.



 We will cover a step-by-step sculpting process with the use of mixed media techniques to accentuate and texturize the pieces. This course encourages a more abstract approach to sculpting in paper clay. Use of exaggerated shapes and proportions combined with implementation of textures and color will help you take the next steps when working with an air-dry medium like paper clay.






AVAILABLE HERE.
Thanks!, E.

MY FAVORITE SCULPTING TOOLS

 MY FAVORITE SCULPTING TOOLS

In the quiet embrace of my studio, where imagination dances with reality, my favorite sculpting tools become extensions of my creative spirit. Each tool tells a story of countless hours spent coaxing form from raw material, shaping dreams into tangible beauty.

The wood/metal main tool, with its curved edge, is my trusted companion in shaping out intricate details, revealing the essence hidden within the clay.

Beside it lies the small spoon, its delicate curvy shape guided by intuition and skill (it’s handmade my myself). With precision, it breathes life into my vision, shaping delicate features and subtle expressions that convey emotion with a grace all their own.

My favorite drilling bits, its rough rounded surface a contrast to the smoothness it helps achieve. With deft strokes, it refines curves and contours, smoothing away imperfections to unveil the elegance lying just beneath the surface. These are the ones I use all the time when working on special joints.

A variety of plain synthetic flat brushes, assisting me to achieve the smoothest possible surface.

Fabrics, needles, favorite scissors - all my favorite. In combination, they are simple, little and seemingly not important, however, making my life so much easier when wanting to make my doll making dreams true.

But perhaps my favorite tool of all is not a physical one, but rather the boundless imagination that fuels my artistry. With it, I mold not just clay or fabric, but dreams and aspirations, shaping them into tangible reminders of the beauty that exists within us all.
