Glinda, the Witch Trainee

After sculpting realistic figures, we finally got to design and sculpt our own characters!

It took me long to decide what kind of character to do, and I contemplated on doing a cobbler at first... But I choose to do a witch instead, because I wanted to try sculpting a large hat!

Glinda is her name, and she is a cowardly witch trainee (that was why I gave her a green costume. Green for greenhorn!) She is trying to overcome her fear of slimy creatures and despite skepticism from her peers, she is determined to succeed!

 

For this project, I used Super Sculpey and painted her with acrylic. Her limbs and tail were made thicker too, so she stayed sturdy even after baking. I had the most fun sculpting her hat and hair! 

Oh, making the shiny wooden base was fun too! But the giant wood sawing machine was very scary...

Here is a close up of Glinda working her magic in her workshop:

By the way, my roommate was the one who suggested Glinda's name. How nice of her!
