cadili susler / witchy ornaments

efenim, boylece cadilar bayrami serimiZin sonuna gelmis bulunuyoruZ. yugunluklar ve kosusturmalar nedeniyle, daha once bahsetmis oldugum "n'olur biZi de araniZa arin" konulu cete de ancak iki uyeye sahip olabildi malesef.. ben de bir de agac susu yapmis olayim diyerek bu konvansiyonel hanimefendileri yaptim giderayak. evet, amerika'da sadece yilbasinda degil cadilar bayraminda da agac suslenmekteymis, bunu da boylece ogrenmis oldum..

and here we are at the end of my halloween series. lack of time and more than enough of rush caused me to let my "trick or threat! ..please?" gang have just two members. and then, i decided to make some conventional witch ornaments before it's too late..bu yukaridaki hanimefendi modurit (polimer kil), kece, dantel ve sentetik gibi gorunen ilginc bir yun kullanilarak yapildi. surati genel olarak hamurun kendi rengi, hafifce suluboyayla renklendirdim sadece. sapkasinin ucundan cikan ip sayesinde de ailabilmekte oraya buraya..
burada beklemekteler kendileri..
duzeltme: satildi!


this lady above is made of modurit (polymer clay), felt, lace and some wool. the clay was left natural for the face and colored lightly with watercolors. and the loop coming out of her witchy hat lets her to be hanged anywhere..
she's available here on etsy.
edit: sold!
bu yukardaki hanimefendi de bir oncekiyle hemen hemen ayni oZelliklere sahip. tek fark suratinin tamamen akrilikle boyanmis olmasi. bir de asma ipinin ip degil de dantel olusu..
kendileri de burada..

and this lady above has more or less the same characteristics as the first one. except the fact that she was painted fully with acrylics and has a piece of lace trim instead of rope for the hanging loop.
she's also available here on etsy.

Ozel Siparis Kukla / Puppet on a Custom Order

efenim, bir siparis kuklasiyla daha karsiniZdayim. aslinda bu kukla biteli oluyor epey ama haftaici firsat bulup da cekememistim fotograflarini bir turlu. bu huZurlariniZdaki de alper bey.

here i am with another custom order. i've finished this one a while ago, but i just couldn't find the time to photograph it durung this week. fotografta daha kahverengiye kaciyor sac rengi ama alper bey oZellikle belirtti saclarinin aslinda siyah oldugunu.

he has a bit brownish hair in the photograph, but mr. alper especially indicated that his hair was actually black.
yine polimer kil, tel, yun ve kumaslarla yapildi kendileri. bir de ekstradan cikarilabilen bir gunes goZlugu var kafasinda. boyun ve el bilekleri haric tum eklemleri hareketli. boyu da 20.5 cm.

again, polymer clay, wire, mohair and fabrics were used to make him. and he has a pair of removable sunglasses on his head. all his joints are working except for the ones in his neck and wrists, and he stands 20.5 cm tall.
bir de dedim madem hediye olacak bu kukla, bari elinde bir de hediyesi olsun kendisinin de. boylece alper bey'e de supriZ olan bir minyatur buket verdim eline.

and since this was going to be a gift, i thought it'd be better to give him a gift too. this miniature bouquet was a surprise for mr. alper also.
bu da yakindan cicek.

and here is a close-up of the bouquet.

please don't forget to include your e-mail address in your comment.

cadilar bayrami oZel II - halloween special II

eveet, cetemiZin ikinci uyesi minik cadi da huzurlariniZda. bu minik hanim da ayni balkabagi arkadasi gibi mustakbel bir "batinin kotu cadisi" olduguna aldiris etmeden cadilar bayrami eglencesine dahil olmak istiyor. ve fakat seker cantasi son derece bos.
eh, onu suclayabilir misiniZ?


so, here i present you the second member of the gang i was talking about, the little witch. just like the pupmkinfriend, she also wants to be a part of the halloween fun, even though she's a wicked witch to be.
well, can you really blame her?
yine bir onceki gibi bu hanim da biblo kategorisinde. hatta bir oncekinden daha da stabil, anca elindeki cantasi cikarilabilir, cok istenirse (saka saka, cok istemeden de cikar o).
govde, kafa, canta ve sapkadaki susler polimer kilden yapildi. sapka susleri ve canta boyanmadan birakildi, hanimefendi ise akrilikle boyanip mat vernikle kaplandi. goZleri icin yesil cam boncuk kullanildi. kiyafetleri cesitli kumas ve dantellerle, saci da gercek yun ile yapildi.

just like the previous one, this little lady should also be considered as a sculpture more than a puppet. as a matter of fact, she's even more stable compared to the pumpkinhead. the only (re)movable thing is the little bucket of hers.
her body, head, bucket and the ornaments on her hat are made of polymer clays, painted with acrylics and sealed with matte acrylic varnish, except for the bucket and the ornaments; they're not painted at all. various fabrics and lace are used for her costume. her eyes are made of dark green glass beads and her hair is made of tibetan mohair.
yine hitabet gerekceli nedenlerden pasaj'a koymadim kendilerini. ve fakat etsy sayfasina buradan ulasabilirsiniZ.
duZeltme: satildi.

and she's available here on etsy.
edit: sold.

cadilar bayrami oZel I - halloween special I

efenim, ado (art dolls only) isimli toplulugun bir uyesi olarak halloween temali etkinlige katilmis bulunmaktayim. fakat tek bir kuklayla katilmak yerine minik bir seri olusturmaya karar verdim. serinin adi "trick or treat ...please?". oZetle, halloween kasabasinin, diger "normal" cocuklar gibi cadilar bayrami eglencesine katilmak isteyen minik sakinlerini konu aliyorum.
iste bu da cetenin ilk uyesi, minik balkabagikafa.

as being a proud member of ADO team, i'm attending to the halloween challenge. but instead of participating with just one puppet, i decided to make a little collection named "trick or treat ...please?". it's basically about the little residents of the halloween town, who want to have fun on halloween just like the other "normal" kids.
so, here is the first member of the gang; little pumpkinhead.her Zamanki kuklalardan farkli olarak, bu minik hanimi biblo kategorisinde degerlendirmek daha dogru olacak sanirim. Zira tamami polimer kilden yapildi ve tek hareketli kisim cicek teliyle yapilmis olan kollari. goZler icin cam boncuk kullandim, saclar gercek yun. sapkadaki orumcek de bir minik datel parcasi.

i guess this little lady should be considered as a sculpture this time, unlike my usual puppets. the only move-able parts in her body are the little arms which are made of paper covered wire. the whole thing is made of polymer clay. glass beads were used for the eyes, mohair for the hair and a piece of lace for the spider on her hat.
hitap ettigi pek kimse olmaZ diyerek pasaj'a koymadim bu sefer. ama kendileri etsy'deki yerlerine coktan aldi. buradan Ziyaret edebilirsiniZ.
duZeltme: satildi.
