Got another case of itchy fingers a couple of days ago, the specific urge to mold with my thumbs, to hold something in my hands. A palm-sized, three-dimensional object.
A pull-chain had been hanging down from the porch ceiling fan since it was installed last summer, and it needed something pear-shaped and hand-friendly for the fingers to grasp when deciding between high and medium blade speeds.
I made a pear-shaped armature and molded a little pear-shaped woman over it. Now she rotates in a clockwise sarabande when we turn on the fan.
My fingers still itch, though.
Oooo, I love it! Can't wait to pull her! What's it made out of?
ReplyDeleteIndigo, it's painted polymer clay.
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes,
ReplyDeleteI will order three to be delivered soon because we use fans in the hot/hot south :-) And then will you take more orders because inquiring observers will want to know where they were found/ordered/purchased! ;-
Thanks, Mali and mrb!
