Catching Up

Even though I haven't updated here in, ahem, awhile - I have still been very, VERY busy sculpting.

A finally finished, packed and shipped the complete rabbit portrait collection back in August.

In addition, I also finished up several other commissions including my first cat:

As well as several more bunnies.

My biggest accomplishment, however, was my top secret project:

A surprise wedding cake topper for my little sister's medieval, Skyrim, GOT themed wedding.

I first had the idea when they got engaged nearly a year ago, even though I had so many other projects to complete.

The Last Unicorn was (and still is) one of our favorite movies growing up, and my brother-in-law had requested an Alduin sculpture some time ago, but I never had time to make it.

And I was just dying to make a fantasy piece!

I'll make a separate post detailing how I went about it.

I BARELY finished it in time, but am pretty happy with it overall.

As if that wasn't enough, I also agreed to make them some polymer clay crowns for the big day.

They weren't too bad, considering I hadn't made anything like them before.

My sister's turned out a little better than her groom's, since his was my first attempt.

I will also include a post on how I created the crowns.

One of my goals for next year is to try not to take on so much at once. I am really bad at saying no!

So next on my agenda are 6 dog portraits and whatever other commissions come my way.

I'm not sure if I'll ever have time to sculpt extra pieces for my Etsy shop, but we'll see how this winter goes.

It has been one C-R-A-Z-Y summer, and I am looking forward to a little sculpting "downtime" once the weather turns cold..... [taps foot].... anytime now......

Just wanted to give a quick update!
