Solid GOLD Guitar

If you’ve been reading the blogs here, you will know I made a golden guitarist (playing the cello) not too long ago and actually loved her so much I contemplated keeping her (which is against the rules), well, I’m glad I let her go because she sold at Union Square on Wednesday to an amazing architect, and so yesterday I worked all day to create a new one. I painted her this morning and BEHOLD, beauty. What’s funny is I thought the first one would be my last musician because I didn’t even think I could make a guitar, the other figures instrument was a Christmas ornament but never doubt yourself because by God, one exists which I personally feel looks even better than the one I didn’t make, you can see how I made it below. So with an actual guitar in hand, this stoic beauty plays her chords peacefully in the nude.
Also, its worth mentioning this piece is nearly seven inches tall, much taller than the last one and much taller than any butterfly person I’ve made actually.

Cello Guitarist!

ONLY, and I mean ONLY a butterfly person could get away with playing a cello as a guitar, HAHA. Word has it that she found the instrument on the street and just began playing around with it. Check out this innovative musician. I’ve become addicted to Gold, I call it Gold intoxication, when you cant stop making pieces that are painted with GOLD or gold leaf or some sort of metallic finish. I love her, her wings are hand made from VERY thin polymer clay so they were such a DIFFICULT thing to keep on her even though they were baked first! They still warped in baking and had to be put back together several times but the final product was worth it, a complete work of art, encased in a 7” cube for eternal protection.

Is it just me or are her wings flapping in the mirror? (the window to the other realm)
