Or should that be the small faces? Blast from the past there...
In preparation for my Bead Journal Project I've been playing with ideas...zodiac seems to be the recurring idea, but I rather fancy creating a hanging of a zodiac wheel that also incorporates the pagan festivals and crystals etc associated with each sign/moon phase... I quite liked the idea of little faces in the centre of the beadwork, which will be my uptake on each sign...so I've been playing with fimo- not had that out in a while. Luckily I had some stashed away....
So here are todays endeavours
 |
| heart faces, glass bead eyes |
 |
| round face, glass bead eyes |
 |
| round face, sleeping |
|
|
 |
| Oval face, glass bead eyes |
Not bad for first attempts...it's so difficult getting it smooth this small- the biggest is the oval, 1 3/4" high- I will have to give them a light sand later to buff the rough bits off. I don't like drawing or painting faces, I'm not that good at them, seems I have a similar issue with cabs too. These were all supposed to be femine, ethereal and serene, not jesters and Benny Hill. Still, I have time to improve, and decide if they will be centres or not- if I can't get them prettier I might have to rethink the plan.
