Weird Christmas Girl

I adore Tim Burton, I love how he is able to take eccentric, outcast characters and make them endearing his special weird sort of way.  One of my favorite characters was Weird Girl from Frankenweenie, so I decided to create Weird Christmas Girl.

Weird Christmas Girl loves Christmas and is especially mesmerized by Christmas lights, she can spend hours just staring at them, sometimes she crosses her eyes when she looks at them so all the colors mix together like a magical kaleidoscope.

Weird Christmas Girl is paperclay sculpted over a wood and wire armature. She is about 13” tall and 10” wide and is fashioned to sit, her arms and legs are wired and can be repositioned.  If you have ever seen a Tim Burton production you know that his characters speak to you before they ever open their mouths, this is done through his magic of design, makeup and costuming.  I tried to weave a little of that magic with Weird Christmas Girl’s expression and costuming.  She is painted with artist acrylics and festively dressed in a variety of fabrics and trims.  I made her a little wooden block covered in Christmas colored paper on which to perch and she holds a colorful string of her enchanting Christmas lights. She is available in my Etsy Shop Primville

Rose A Sweet Witch

Rose is 38" tall and about 24" wide.  She is dressed in shapes of tan, gold and black. Rose will be available in my Etsy Shop.

Grumpkins

These were published in an article in the Fall 2018 issue of Prims

Pumpkin farmer Percy always has an unusual crop of peculiar pumpkins, but this year’s harvest was some rather grumpy, lumpy gourds. Maybe it was something in the water.
Like many of my projects this one started with the discovery of an ugly blue speckled wheelbarrow. The second I saw it I envisioning the wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins I decided that plain old pumpkins would not work, so I set out to create some unusual pumpkins.  After I fashioned the first pumpkin, I realized that he had an attitude and a rather ill-tempered one at that.  Rather than try an attitude adjustment, I decided to just go with it and formed the rest of the gourds into grumps.  These pumpkins really were a blast to make and as they progressed their crabbiness really came to life.

The Wheelbarrel is about 16" Long and 6" wide, pumpkins in the wheelbarrow are about the size of tennis balls, Pail is 3" tall, not including the handle and about 3 1/2" wide and deep... with the sign about 7" tall. The wheelbarrow and pins.. I call them grumpkins.  The two small pumpkins in the pail are about the size of walnuts.  The grumpkins were formed by sculpting paperclay over styrofoam and wire armatures, painted with artist acrylics and  double sealed with a matte finish varnish.  They are signed and dated and will come with a copy of Prims issue with their article.

While definately a Halloween decor item, would also work for Thanksgiving for a more daring decorator ( I would definitley do it ) would be a great conversation starter.

Thanks for looking, it you have any questions or would like further details, please do not hesitate to contact me.

They are listed for sale in my Etsy Shop Primville.
