Shiny Things Gallery | Other Shiny Things | Ryia
This one was began months and months ago, and simply set aside for other things. So I got her finished between projects... and I'm so glad I did. I needed this. I've been wanting to finish her for a looong time. (And yes, those are male peacock feathers--Ryia's still a she. Yes, I can tell. *grin*)
From beak to tail, she's 10.5 inches long. So, a rather small sculpture but SO SHINY. And with a loop in the back to hang on a single nail or tack. Composed of air-drying clay, cruelty-free peacock feathers, acrylic paint (which is actually a mottled blue/purple with lots of subtle gold streaking and a little gold detail), glass beads for eyes, gold-plated chain, gold-plated copper wire, green goldstone (which never shows up well with my camera--those hanging round beads have loads of shiny green flecks sparkling in them), and little glass hang-y beads. I love her but I'd love to find her a good home and someone who would give her a history, too. ...And maybe... make some more of a similar nature. It took me forever, but I really enjoyed this.
