Fantart- Il posto dei Libri e dei Disegni

F indo is finished, at last!!!!! Findo is a unique, Ooak (one-of-a-kind) fantasy art doll sculpture. I haven't used any moulds to create him.  His head and hands are sculpted in polymer clay and have been hand painted with artist's acrylics.  He is about 28 cm (about 12 inches) high (but he is laying in his basket, he is not intended to stand up) and he is built over a strong wire armature with soft body. his head, arms and legs are gently poseable: this sculputure is not a toy: his position may be slightly changed but it is not intended for children playing.  His basket is included in his listing. His garments are handmade too, and they are not removable. He comes with an authenticity certificate, dated and signed by the artist. Find him in my Etsy shop here:   https://www.etsy.com/listing/266799225/ooak-handmade-fantasy-poseable-art-doll  

At last , after many posts all saying "she's almost finished" and "I will post the photo in a short time", I can show you Elenoire, a Leanann Sidhe (the irish poets' muse):  I sell it on EBay here I report the description I wrote for the Ebay auction: Elenoire is a Leanan sidhe, the poets' muse; in celt mythology she is a fairy loving a human... men who fall in love with her, according to tradition, have short and intense lives: if she loves not being loved back, she becomes the slave of her lover; if she doesn't love her human companion, he becomes hers forever... She is approximately 42 cm high, made in air dry clay, with no muolds. Her dress is completely removable and hand-sewed (there are three pieces: corset, skirt and underskirt): her hair are made with mohair wool, and covered with glitters. The tree beside her has been made with the same material (air dry clay) hand painted and covered with small mirrors and golden glitters. Post ...

Due to the lackness of time It takes to me a lot to finish a new doll... in the meanwhile I post some shots of my new doll's making of...

Work in progress Come molti artisti fantasy sanno, esistono molti siti fantasy in rete, e molte community di persone che condividono questo interesse: tuttavia non mi sono mai imbattuta in un sito che facesse da punto di incontro per gli artisti italiani che, professionalmente o per passione (o per entrambi!), dedicano al mondo del fantastico tutta o parte della loro espressione artistica.Ho pensato allora di inaugurare un luogo dove anche noi artisti italiani possiamo incontrarci, scambiare opinioni ed informazioni, mantenere contatti, fare, insomma, del "social network": il mio intento non è quello di fondare una community chiusa, anzi, il contrario: ma mi piacerebbe che dall'incontro in rete nascesse la possibilità, per chi lo volesse, di incontrarsi anche dal vivo !!!Questo vuole essere un punto di partenza, siete tutti invitati su http://italianfantasy.ning.com/ :-)
