I just finished an adorable sculpture that I just had to blog about. It was a commission from one of my customers. I actually had no idea how I was going to do this--I'd never done anything like it before--but I did some sketching, and jumped in. It had its own technical problems, which, looking at the small size of the sculpture, you wouldn't think this would be a consideration. However, even small sculptures have their challenges. Once I figured out how the two bodies would fit together, the faeries seemed to sculpt themselves.

As it turns out, this is one of my favorite Faery Healer sculptures to date. I had such fear entering into this project, and such self doubt. It's strange how these types of projects are the ones that teach you the most. As an artist, I'm always in my own head, so to take someone else's ideas and turn them into something that they might like to purchase is daunting. However, sometimes my customers have better ideas than I do, so it's nice to work with someone for a change--I work alone every day!

I've had other experiences like this. Together me and the client worked out colors and what the sculpture would look like. Check out Nocturna in my Fantasy and Fairy Sculptures gallery, and Faery Healer Fairy Cat in my Faery Healers gallery.

Thanks to my customers for having such great ideas!

Until next time, Faerie Blessings!
