Mad Mouton - pics in progress...

Hello again!

I promised you in my last post that I would post the next day about one of my newest projects: a cranky little black and white (or will be after I paint him) sheep named Mad Mouton. Mad because I'm a bit tired of smiling snowmen, and 'Mouton' because it's the French word for sheep (singular and plural) and most anything sounds better in French!

So...here are some bad photos in chronological order of the process creation:

This is his head without eyebrows and topknot. Hm...he looks a bit more scared than irritated, I think.


(his eyes are 10 mil glass doll eyes)

He is made of paperclay over a styrofoam ball. This next stage is adding the rest of the face and ears...now he's looking irritated. ;-)...


and stamping swirls onto his body (boy am I gonna do that in two separate steps next time; kept squishing the stamped texture. :-(


adding his legs and front feet...



(This is next to another snowman;
Mouton is mad because I took the pic before
I finished his back hooves. Such a drama queen!)

At this point all three of them turned their backs on me, the ingrates! But that's okay because you can see his sassy new tail!


Tomorrow I'm gonna upload the pic with his new paint job...and then I'll need opinions on the color scheme. I'm not sure I like it yet. 

Nightie night!
