Hi, I'm going to be an elven-faery warrior...of the Azurean Garden Clan.
My head was sculpted with Sculpey polymer clay, on a base of foil molded on a chopstick.
It took several tries to make me look female.
My ears are large, the better to hear you with.
This is also before my eyebrows, lashes and hair.
I think I have a strong jawline.
Basic building blocks - a jello mold, a tart tin and a tin cookie shaping tube
My wings are made from polymer clay canes, which my make built in a Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg class.
My maker created a giant wing cane, then sliced several wing sets from the cane.
After trimmng
Closeup
One set was finished with 2-part resin
These will be my true wings
Another pair were finished with liquid polymer and baked into a curved shape.
However, these are not strong enough for a warrior elven-faery maiden such as me.
They are nice with extra beads.
Now I have great hair.
And my makeup is permanently in place.
I think I need a headband.
But I have a great profile.
Now I have a flower headpiece and an updo tail.
And bangs.
My legs are long and strong, also sculpted from Sculpey polymer clay.
My legs attached to my body armor so they move freely.
My armor bustier.
My bustier also has additional wires.
My maker cut the shank of upholstery tacks to make rivets for the front of my bustier.
My breastplate armor.
My hand were uneven at first, before enlarging left hand
The first attempt at my arms was not great, but my wise maker started again.
Now my arems are strong, with elven hands. (2nd arm attempt)
Another view.

How my shoulders will attach to my body armor.
Here sits the headless elven-faery warrior.
This is my body and my head.
With my wing/bustier temporarily in place.
Here are the curvy wings, but they are too delicate for me.
The Resined flat wings will be strong, befitting a warrior.
My maker is adding flowers to my skirt armor, befitting of my position in the Azurean Clan of Garden Elves.
Chain for my adornment.
Azurean flowers
Scars from surgery required following a near tragedy with a dangerous iron nail on a garden fence.
My headband got some additional sparkle with tiny jewelry and faerie dust.
Collar piece
My armor bustier attachment being fitted.
My legs move freely so I can run swiftly.
My maker's 1st attempt at my skirt decor, but she was not happy with this.
This is embarrassing.
The Skirt decor finally worked, more of my azurean flowers and tiny bits of silver chain.
My maker camoflaged the bustier flanges, which protect my wings.

My skirt fitting.
My maker used resin to complete my collar. She was waiting for resin to get sticky.

My flowers were also attached with resin.
My armor b\Bustier attaches to my body with friction, thanks to many fitting sessions.
La Mesa palm bark
Old doll stand, the top piece was removed.
My head is permanently attached - I'm ready to fly.
Exploring the garden.
My flowers received Just a touch of faerie dust.
I love walking in the mint.
Old Man Willow shelters my walk.
The willow withies swaying in the breeze.
Checking our my garden's young iris plantings.
Vines are growing under my maker's birdhouse.
Leaving the herb garden.
My young Cosmos forrest will soon be blooming.
My sunflower leaves providing shade.
My name is Scilla.
