"Weeping Will"
a NEW Self-Paced Online Class designed and taught by Stephanie Novatski
Self Paced classes are wonderful because you can take the class any time of the day and you dont have to be around when the teacher is, just post your question and wait for her to answer... what a fun way to learn and share ideas... you can even come to class in your jammies
Stephanie will guide you through each lesson with lots of coloured photographs and well explained lesson plans. Learn how she gets the most exquisite detail in her faces. Whether you do this now or later Stephanie is always available to help if you need it.
Techniques to be learned include cloth over clay, armature, embellishing detail and so much more...
Come and learn some really wonderful embellishing techniques with the very talented and award winning artist Stephanie Novatski.
Since Weeping Will depicts a tree, it is only fitting that he also be Eco-friendly. His body is made from a piece of tree limb – the moldier and older the better! The top of his body is pieced from scraps of like colored fabrics. His embellishments are also from scraps. His head is a reject head that is resurrected with the use of a bit of clay and stretch knit fabric. His wire armature can be made from a wire hanger. He may be sad at what is happening to his environment, maybe he is hopeful knowing he has risen from what may have ended in the trash heap! I hope you have fun with him – the possibilities are as endless as varieties of trees. Just make sure you pick a limb that is not part of a living tree.
