I have a confession to make. Despite a promise to myself to work less and sculpt more, I found myself working too hard the past few weeks. And wouldn’t you know it, I got sick. I guess a simple cold is better than something long-term, especially since it served as a reminder to me. Work […]
I set out to sculpt a sleeping fairy baby to enter into a sculpting contest. My frustrated kept mounting as I worked on the face because I really didn’t like how she was turning out. I haven’t sculpted a baby face in quite some time, and even the faces I have done were… amateurish. And […]

But there’s still so much that throws me off when it comes to these tiny creatures. Facial features, the little nose, ears… And since the best way to learn is […]

I’ve decided to take a break from sculpting bunnies to create this tiny fairy baby in honor of Mother’s Day which is just around the corner. And when I say tiny, I mean microscopic ‘I need a magnifying glass to see’ tiny. Just to see how small I can go. Sculpting on a Microscopic Scale While […]
Even sleepy goblin babies need to look their best. And so, with the sculpting of my My sleepy Valentine’s Day fairy-turned-goblin baby (click here if you missed part 1) half the battle still awaits.
