SNOW LADY

It might seem like I'm making these snow folk up really quickly but truth be told they seem to be taking forever. The humidity and temperature in my work shop must be all wrong for drying because the pieces I started on nearly two weeks ago are just barely getting to the point where some of them are ready for painting. This is the second snow person in my new series and since I really do like this new style I hope to get a few more done before the online Christmas craft show.

Where the last one was painted in warm colors I opted to paint this one in what I feel is a more traditional color scheme.

I love her happy face.



and what a cute profile

She even has a waist line.

To me snowmen and women seem to be such happy folk.

After painting her using three shades of blue and a bold splash of a gold for her scarf and mittens I used a walnut stain to give the piece an aged appearance then  I brushed white pearl over the entire figure.  It's hard to see in the photos my little snow gal almost looks like she's made of metal. Usually my figures appear to be carved from wood so this is a bit different.

I think this little snowman and my newest piece make a cute couple don't you? 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my newest little snow person. I really enjoyed working on her and speaking of work I should get back to it.

As always, thanks for stopping by.
