Celestial Bodies WIP

A Royal Couple of Moons(their work in progress so far)



The Moon King

He measures 9 inches top to bottom. His face is almost half the size of his total size. If he were a humanoid, he would measure to almost 30 inches! This is the largest face I have sculpted and the size was a bit intimidating for me.ahhhh, but he put my fears to rest with his serene nature...His face as well as the intricate embossed body scroll work is sculpted of a Cernit mix.Over a wire frame, Apoxi and brown Sculpy.

The Moon Queen


The Queen wears anitque painted glass pearls. She measures about 8 1/2 inches high.Her long eyelashes are feathers.






Each moon will be an independant design. Each with a lunar faerie or two.They will be sold separately, but they and their artist really wanted them to be photographed together.


The faces (approx. 4 1/2 inches) were painted with layers of heat set oils in lovely blues, lavendars and pinks. Then, they were whitened and pearlized for a glowing lunar effect.


Each Royal will have a significant crown with jewels. The King's crown will be silver and the Queen's crown will be in golds and white with pink jewels. You can see the unwhitened spot on her forehead where the crown will be attached.

They are peaceful Celestial bodies who rule the night sky with dignity and wisdom.

Well, since I love expressing myself through pictures, I thought you might allow me to answer the question,

the seven most important things in my life that bring happiness,

through the lens of my well used Nikon camera...

God, from Whom all good things come...

My husband who takes what I do very seriously...

who still has the heart of a child...

and who very carefully cares for those hearts...and mine...

My children...and their children...the most precious gift of Family

Our old Farm, a place where we count our dollars and always come up short...

but when we count our blessings we are oh so rich...

The Visitors who happen by and whom we lovingly count as Friends...

A Snowy Day looking out our kitchen window ...

and all that goes with it...

And last but not least, a fresh cup of Espresso shared with a wee Faerie...



These are the simple things that I hold so dear...
