The other day when I was prepping for my ComeClaywithMe - tutorial workshops, I stumbled across some old footage that I took last year but never put together, because, you know… life happens.

So I thought I would just share it here as a little gift.

#theTruthTeller

This sweet soul was made and finished last year and she was called the #theTruthTeller.

She was one of my first smaller sized works as I had wanted to work towards playing smaller in general. She was made simply around an old fashioned clothing peg which was my armature and it helped me stay within that scale. I absolutely love her form and shape to bits… so simple, a little quirky and her patterns create enough interest to finish her sweet story.

These sweet little souls have this incredible way of teaching me little lessons and often share little wisdoms with me along the way. As for this little TruthTeller, her message to me… was that sometimes working simply is more than enough.

Supplies:

• Paperclay/Airdrying clay.

• Sculpting tool

• Old fashioned clothing peg

• Napkin & gel medium

• Fine grit sandpaper

• Winsor Newton Matt Varnish Spray

• Variety of small paint brushes

• Acrylic paints

Allow your little SoulBearer to air-dry and when she is dry, give her a light little sand with sandpaper. Dust off the excess claypowder and then take a soft brush and give her a light wash with water. Allow her do air-dry again.

She is now ready for her little paint suit.

Once she’s settled into her new painted suit she’s ready to be sprayed with vanish to seal her off. If you have been in my other classes, you will know that I love and use Winsor Newton Matt Varnish spray to finish off all my pieces.

I adore the matt finish.

Please make sure you spray in a well ventilated room and with a mask on. Please use caution to ensure your safety.

I hope you loved this little painting gift. Please feel free to ask me anything and thank you for taking the time to visit here.

Much love, always - Jeanne-Marie
