Illustration Friday: Small
Illustration Friday's topic this week is "small". I haven't completed this illustration yet, but thought I'd show a progression of one using this very small Santa sculpture. My extended family picks names each Christmas, not for gifts, but to exchange ornaments. Because of my newfound love for Sculpey, I thought I'd make a homemade ornament this year. This Santa is what I came up with, and it's my first shot at sculpting with this kind of detail.
While I was creating this, my mind started working on other uses for him, and I've been inspired to use him as part of an illustration. I have a grand idea, and this is the first step. I'll share my progress, or show the final when it's done, whether or not it turns out good. It's a real experiment for me, and I'm so excited to try it out.
So, if you're interested, come on back, and I'll give updates.
Enjoy! I know I will!

Great Santa, Garth!
Janee
wonderful!
He's looking great ... can't wait to see creative results!
Very impressive, Garth!
oh how wonderful!!! i cant wait to see it all complete too! all your illos are just fabulous- you have a variety of styles! that is great! (i love sculpey too but i really suck at making figures- however, after seeing your work, i feel like trying)
Very cool, Garth. This looks great, and what a nice gift. I've been having some fun with sculpey too. I guess that you can use spirits of some sort, to smoothe it out. Also, you can rebake it as you add more and more clay. Or so I'm told.
beautiful sculpture!! V cooool new postings too!! AMAZING
WORKS!!
These are great Garth! So are we going to be able to see the final product?
