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.

What a perfect brush holder!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteYour 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).
ReplyDeleteFabulous faces again! You have been busy! Have a great day,hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteStunning clay art, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteIf you celebrate Easter I wish it is happy and sunny.

Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteI 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 ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove these funny looking masks you made.
ReplyDeleteyep, you are a bit crazy. :) Especially with the yelloweyed one. He probably has some problems with eating. ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteWishing 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!
...Nicole, the first face is my favorite it reminds me of Lanier Meaders. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great pen holder! Everyone is going to want one!
ReplyDeleteYou outdid yourself with this one Nicole. What a cool pencil holder! I like both of your faces this week too. Have a great weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWonderful clay pieces Nicole!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day Happy Easter Hugs Tracey xx

ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that you had some time this week to get your hands in some clay! The face is something else! I look forward to seeing more photos as it develops. Happy weekend, my friend!
