Santa Jack ornament
Here is the other ornament I made for a gift last Christmas (yes I realize its June… sorry). Jack was sculpted out of Sculpey, has a wire frame and is painted with acrylics. His skinny wee limbs were a serious pain in my ass, let me tell you. I think in the end I baked him about six times – every time I finished a part I baked him before I could mess it up, lol. I had a bunch of reference images that I was following oh so carefully, but then, to my great shame, I got a little sloppy. It was 3am, all that was left were the hands and all I wanted to do was go to bed. Can you spot my mistake? (hint: I ignored the basic rule for cartoon hands). But hands aside, isn’t he cute? I am particularly pleased with his hat. I think he’s just shy of 7″ tall.
And just for fun – some photos of the unpainted sculpts.
