Artist's Comments

Arabian horse head cameo sculpted from Fimo.

The original is at present having resin copies of it cast. I've forgotten its exact dimensions, but it fits into a palm... No bigger than a medallion.

Please excuse there being several photographs of the same thing. I was trying different grounds and couldn't decide which picture is best.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-02-10

The attention to detail in Gillespie by *Himmapaan is stunning. Details such as the wispy flowing mane across the neck and the head really add to this piece, for me however the part that really stands out is the expression of the horse. Although it doesn't necessarily portray any emotion the steely gaze seems fixed on a distant object as though thinking or perhaps wondering of the past. (Featured by ^Thebuild)

WOW!!! Do you do anything to the Fimo to be able to sculpt it so fine, do you just use plain white, bake it slightly, this is just so amazing! would love to see how you accomplished this marble/alabaster look with such details!

Nothing at all - just opened the pack (of white Fimo) and sculpted. :D Then baked.

You can see the tiny dust particles that got into it (which I was rather annoyed about!). Since taking the photograph, I sprayed the piece with white primer just to conceal them!

The white comes in the same packs too, I think (56g - is that 2 ounces? I'm appallingly bad at these conversions!).

I stand watch for hope, and hope for it not to desert me.

The detail is awesome!
I like it on this background better... It looks a little blue on the brown background!
