Marionette - Styling Completed













Completed figure combined the polymer base with experimental use of mohair, paint, fibers, and beads. Whereas the green coat was hand-stitched from a pattern, much of the clothing was glued directly to the figure, as it will be a permanent fixture for long-term use. 
After much consideration and some trail and error, the face and body were finished with the use of acrylic paint in hues of purple and blue. The blue "freckles" work well with the hair to fulfill a sense of other-worldliness or the supernatural. Next time, I might experiment more with the use of translucent clay to heighten this effect.
