Mini fairies
These mini fairies are one of a kind (ooak) and handmade by Kathleen Engelen. Their size is about 15 cm if they would be standing. They’re made of polymer clay, like Fimo, Prosculpt or Living Doll Light. I used mohair for the hair and silk for the clothing. The wings are different each time I make a sculpture, because I try a different technique every time.
I use glass beads and swarovski crystals for the decoration. Their eyes are painted with Genesis Heat Set paints. Their face is as small as a thumbnail. Every fairy is sculpted with a lot of love and care. I don’t use any molds, so every fairy starts with a lump of clay and a wire frame. Every fairy is unique and has its own soul and caracter.
