Ideas, tasks, things, thoughts flood me crazily!

The Lamp

This week I was working on new couples, I did second trial on fimo liquid and I started making a queen diorama. I've learned from youtube how to make pinwheels and I fell in love with making pinweels.
I did some experiments with fimo and gold leaves, it will be incorporated in diorama.

The first film showing moving robot puppets - Navy Blue friends

fimo nightglow - I love it

They are the first puppets that were made with fimo nightglow.
I should take some photos in the darkness... maybe soon.

Fimo liquid experiment 1.

It's really dissapointing...
the only small swimmingpool looks quite ok.
Then there are canes.
Not exciting. Eh...

Photoshoting and welcome

It was fantastic day! First arrived lovely fimo squares... and bottle of fimo liquid.....

And then there was a beautiful natural light for photo session. I've made photos of three robot-puppet families, three robot-puppet couples and several single individuums.

Nibyniebo

These are the days of new beginning. Several past months I've spent mastering puppets. First puppets were made of air drying clay. Minimalistic simple, painted only in black and copper. Then I realised they are very fragile, easy to break. It pushed me to look for another material. And I found fimo - polymer clay. I was experimenting a lot, watching tutorials and reading blogs about fimo.
It is fimo that is new to me. Sculpture and creating miniatures have always been my love.

Stuff made in my childhood.
