Tangle-eyed Monster Sculpture, made with super sculpey

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:08:30 -0500

$95.00
She is an evolved squid as you can tell by her many tentacles. Her full name is Zzzixxurgh, or for short I call her Sue.

She's very nice, though extremely strong she only uses her cute tentacles for hugging and every once in a while for eating plants of course.

I began with super sculpey clay (a medium I enjoy experimenting with when not designing paper products). Once happy with the outcome of the sculpture, I baked it. I then proceeded to prime the piece with white acrylic gesso. Once dried, using a small airbrush and airbrush paints, I began to paint and create the blended effect of the green, gold and blue colors. Then with acrylic paint I painted the small white dots and eyes. When completed I glazed the sculpture for extra sealing and protection.

(For more details visit my blog post on the sculpture!)
http://papersquid.blogspot.com/2009/08/tangled-eyed-monster.html

I am very happy with the final result!

Sculpture measures approximately 8 inches wide by 4 inches high.

A small wooden base, painted gold, is included with sculpture for easy handling and so that she may not have to be grabbed so much and damage the paint or tentacles. Will also look completed and great on any shelf, home, studio or office.

Package will be shipped via USPS with delivery confirmation and insurance (one of a kind piece). It will be packaged in a box and the inside filled with “Undyed Excelsior” that is natural, non-allergenic & dust-free. It not only cushions and protects the sculpture but is 100% biodegradable & eco-friendly!

Please if you have any questions just convo me. I am very friendly I swear!

Unique Four Faces Hand Sculpted and Hand Painted Polymer Clay Decorative Sculpture

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 14:51:31 -0400

$30.00
Sometimes I cheat on my lovely paper products with clay or super sculpey. So help me give this sculpture a home. It will make a great addition to the family.

It is hand sculpted and hand painted. It is entirely ONE-OF-A-KIND. It has four sides, each with a unique face and detailed pattern.

I created this decorative sculpture using polymer clay, baked it, painted by hand then glazed over 3 times for extra coating and protection. I don’t get the chance to make to many of these but when I do, I try to make each one special.

Approximate height= 8 inches
Approximate width= 2.375

You will receive the sculpture shipped via USPS with a tracking number already included in the price of shipping. (I automatically do this since it is a one of a kind and can never be reproduced exactly again). It will arrive packaged in a box with an inner filling of “Undyed Excelsior” that is natural, non-allergenic & dust-free. It not only cushions and protects the sculpture but is 100% biodegradable & eco-friendly.

Please feel free to convo or email me at papersquid@yahoo.com with any questions or comments you may have.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:58:56 -0400

$15.00
Hello. I've began a series of linocut prints that I'm really enjoying. This is hand printed & painted, nothing digital here. One-of-a-kind, this decorative print will look great in any studio, home or office. Great for framing.

This particular print is pink colored ink on a thick lime green paper. It has permanently been placed inside a white mat frame. This mat frame is great for framing or to place as is.

Overall size of mat frame is 8x10 inches, artwork within mat frame is 5x7 inches.
