Prill the elf scholar

Elf town is proud to admit that education is their younger generation is of upmost importance. They encourage the youngsters to read every chance they can.

Prill loves to read, her favorite stories are Human Tales, similar to fairy tales only on a much bigger scale. She carrys as many books as she can everywhere she goes on the chance that she might have time to read. Today I came across Prill in the woods perched on a old cowbell reading. She was so engrossed in her book it took her a moment to notice I was there. Such a sweet little elf she offered to loan me one of her books. But without my magnifying glass I had to refuse.

Prill is sculpted from polymer clay over a wire armature. She is wearing handmade clothing and a hat made from mulberry paper. She is holding a handmade book and has a basket of books and a small bottle of water

P.K. "Speedy" the elf and bike

P.K. who would prefer you call her "Speedy" is a delivery elf for the towns cake company. She is the fastest delivery elf in the entire town! She has a super speedy bike and cart and her super speedy cape. Today she is delivering a birthday cake to the towns Mayor, a very important job!

P.K. is sculpted from polymer clay over a wire armature. Sitting she is 7 inches high counting the puff of that hat, not the tip that hat is long! Her bike and cart are 9 1/2 inches long and 4 3/4 inches high at the handlebars. She is removable from the bike. The cake on the back of the bike is a wooden pill box and the top is removable.

Thanks for looking

Jasper the Candle Lighter

Finished this guy today. He was whispering in my ear the entire time I was working on Marta the cook. I stayed up until my eyes were crossing because he wanted to BE so badly, lol.

Jasper the Candle Lighter.

The Candle Lighter is a Super important job in the town of Elves. A small breeze and Puff out go all the candles. How on earth would the elves find their way in the dark. The candle lighter must be ready at all times to come to the rescue. When Jasper said he would like the job, I tried to tell him it would be a 24 hour job and that he would be very tired. But Jasper insisted he was the elf for it. Now look at poor tired Japer, here he is in his gown and robe with only his teddy to keep him company. Even during the night the Candle Lighter is on call.

Jasper is sculpted from polymer clay over a wire armature, soft body over wire gently posable. Handmade clothing, shoes hat. his teddy is needle felted from wool and so is the flame on his match. The candle is sculpted from transluscent Fimo onto a vintage industrial boobin perched ontop of a old tart tin. Jasper is 10 inches high and his candle is 10 1/4.

Finity the Un-Locker

Finished this art doll this weekend. I loved using the bright colors for her and her hair. Her name is Finity and she is the Un-Locker in the elf community. If you lose your keys and cant get in Finity is who you call.

She is 12 1/4 inches high from the soles of her boots to the tip-top of her pointy elf hat. She is carrying her baby brother since Un-Locker training starts very early. She is also pulling a cart of her un-locking tools. Skeleton keys, string to climb, scroll of house numbers and a pint can opener for those hard to get into homes. She is polymer clay over a wire armature

The Peddler and his cart of goods

Finished this new art doll tonight. He is a Peddler Elf and he has a cart of his goods that he hauls from town to town.

He and his cart are sculpted from polymer clay. He has a wire armature so he is gently posable. The cart is loaded with vintage thread and sewing goods plus a nice can of spice to sell. The peddler is is 12 inches high counting his top-hat and his cart is 6 inches long and 6 inches high counting the handle.

I really like sculpting these older gentlemen elves, I start getting ideas for the next one before Im done with the last.

The Bell-Ringer

Finished this doll today, and I am really happy with how he turned out. I was trying out a new clay "Pro-sculpt" I like how it holds the wrinkles better than the SS I usually use but it seems to be a bit harder to smooth, for me anyway.

He is sculpted over a wire armature, soft upper arms , legs and torso. His clothing is a mix of suede, cheese clothe, satin and knit. His top-hat is made from garmet leather with a little feather in the band. He is 11 1/2 inches high including the top hat which isnt removable. He has mohair curls and he is holding some old bells I found this weekend.

The Bell-ringer is a very important job among the elves. His duties are to ring the bell every hour on the hour. Also he must ring the bells at the birth of a new elf or at the death of one. He also must ring the bells at every wedding and funeral. It is a very exhausting job, maybe thats why he looks so cranky. One of the down-falls to being The bell-ringer is the loss of hearing due to the constant ringing of the bells. Each bell he carries is used for different things, and he must keep them straight or the other elves will become confused and not know whether its supper or breakfast. This little deaf Bell-ringer is ready to retire, unfortunately no-one else wants the job.
