Olive the Sea Hag was just plain fun to make ,her pet octopuses just like all pets stay close to their master. Being old and haggish looking just is so me . hope she puts a smile on your face .
Hope Tree was made for outside .Base is a gourd filled with gravel and cement to make sure it has weight .This tree is different used paverplaster to give it an old lumpy look .Calling it "Hope" cause even old people can have new growth from learning :) .Buds are polymer clay .
I have been a creative person all my life. Started gourding several years ago, gourds can have so many things done to them ,I went nuts learning and playing.Tried many different things with and on gourds .After learning to carve them , the dust became too much, so then I started sculpting with Aves apoxie sculpt ,They even but my award winning dragon on there web site : )

On my road to learning all I could, I became a "Ceritfied Paverpol Instructor". Then learning to make armatures,has opened up a whole new world for me . I enjoy sculpting little odd people. So most of my pieces are a combination of Apoxies Sculpt, Gourds, PolymerClay and Paverpol.Feel free to e-mail me with any comments or questions .Loismdean@yahoo.com
