Into the Woods

[Robbo]

Hi, Guys,

Still another Fantasy project, this time “Into the Woods” from Michael Kontraros Collectibles.

I went for a ‘driftwood look’ for the head, and in the egg well I added a bit of dried sphagnum moss as natural nesting material to give it a different vibe.

One of the fairy’s wings has an oblong gap that had an incredibly delicate curlicue shape, but this disintegrated when I tried to remove mould ‘skin’ around it. Instead, I used a fine wire to create a filigree within the area. Otherwise the wings have two coats of silver with a spirit-thinned artist’s oil verdigris colour for effect.

Various fungi painted in fairytale colours.

Resin base from Model Display Products.

Cheers!

Robbo

Wonderful piece, sort of a cross between the green man and an Ent. Really rather like this one.

Yes as soon as I saw it I thought how weird it was, but in a good way.
