Forest Friend - Stemly

Meet the Forest Friends!  Otherwise called Puckwudgies which is translated by Henry Schoolcraft as "little wild man of the woods that vanishes" I create these one of a kind creatures from Apoxie clay & Gourd tops. These friends are one of a kind & have their own place in the Forest.  I hope you enjoy the creepier side of the Forest & want to add one of my Forest Friends to your Fantasy World The base is from the top of a birdhouse gourd, I then shape & sculpt with Apoxie sculpt clay.  This clay becomes extremely strong, after hardened I paint them with acrylic paints. Dreamlie is 4 inches tall & 2.5 inches in diameter & holds an umbrella.
