Friday Face OFF 4/7/23

 Hi Everyone!

Welcome to FFO the place to show off any kind of face you want. Simply make a post, link back to me, link with Mr. Linky, and leave comments. Can't wait to see what all of you have to show.

This week I have been working a bit with clay. Most of you know I work only with DAS air dry clay. For me all other clays don't compare. 
I really love how this turned out. I was taking step by step photos for you, when the battery in my camera died. So I will show you next week. How to make this.

 Once I got the clay all done I wet painted pastel on a light yellow.


 
Then a coat of a burnt orange.

 

This coat is a dark brown mixed with gray.
 

Next a bit of highlights and shading. Ohhh and some color on the lips.


 I love his profile


 and the lighting shows his true colors.


 Well I just went a little crazy with this guy.


 Oh, I keep forgetting, I am a little crazy. LOL


 I do like his skin though.


 


 

Now for our featured artist.

Now it's your turn to show me your face.

I've never worked with air dry clay, always polymer, which I realize you have to bake. I have so much poly clay, it would be unwise not to use it before I went to a different type, like air dry clay.

Your cup is impressive, Nicole. I think you really went wild on the other clay face. Thanks for hosting this fun event, dear. BTW, I hope my "face" today is acceptable.

I like them all. But I especially like the one that chews up all his screams in his mouth (this is my interpretation).

I love him!! One really wants to talk to him, very well done! Looking forward to the rest of his making. Have a great day, all of you, crazy guy, even though you maybe have not much to say ;-)

Love these funny looking masks you made.

NatureFootstep said...

yep, you are a bit crazy. :) Especially with the yelloweyed one. He probably has some problems with eating. ;) ;)

Wishing you a very Happy Easter. If you celebrate it? I don´t really. I got tired of always having to be the host of all family celebrations. Just a lot of work and I got tired. Now I do what I want. :) ART!

I really like the first one. I will be awaiting the step by step "how to make this" photos. I need to be using more of my DAS clay.

Christine said...

Wonderful clay pieces Nicole!

Your kind of crazy is a good thing ... I love your faces and the paint job is amazing. What are you using for the eyes? They look like glass or plastic. I can't wait to see your "how to" next week :) Hope all is well with you these days ...

Hi Nicole, DAS air dry is a fabulous medium to work with, it always gives true and hardy results. I really love your face paint brush holder what a happy design it is. Just popping over to wish you a Happy Easter, getting online and creativity is extremely limited for me as care duties are more demanding, been lovely to see your work today.
Have a wonderful day Happy Easter Hugs Tracey xx

I thought you had crafted the cutest owl holding something, and then I realized it was something else! Call me a little crazy ~ lol! How you layer the color on the paint brush face is really interesting. That's what gives your creation such depth! Enjoy the weekend, Nicole! xox
