Work In Progress

Completed Vignette!

 

After nine months, my vignette is complete!  I hope you'll enjoy seeing the finished version of my favorite TV show "Ghost Whisperer."  I know I'm only one of thousands of "Ghost Whisperer" fans out there!

 

Thanks To:

Linda Smith for her wonderful tutorials on how she creates her soft bodies.  This was my first attempt using her method in the creation of the Ghost Lady and Ghost Child.  "Melinda" and the Ghost Man are fully sculpted from clay and do not have soft bodies.

Carol and Kay for being wonderful friends who have helped to inspire me.  Without these two friends, I may have given up ever completing the vignette.

All my family members for putting up with the countless pictures I'd send to them and for their support.

All my fellow sculptors, collectors, and friends who have been so kind to leave comments for me either in my guestbook, through my MySpace page, or through one of the many forums I'm a member of.

And, to those of you who have been watching and enjoying the creation process.

 

Please be patient while graphics load.

Note:  Most items were hand sculpted or hand crafted by the artist.  However, in order to create original designs needed to complete the scene, an artist must sometimes use items that are store bought and then transformed into the original creations they become.  In this vignette, examples of the technique of using store bought items include the wicker basket, the white ceramic vase, the ribbon roses, and the blue/white ceramic floor pot.  For this reason, I have listed them in the Hand Made Originals section of the listing above.
