This is my first attempt at a soft sculpture – he is supposted to be 9 from the movie 9. He has a wire skeleton, sculpty movable hands, sculpty feet, felt skin, filled with fluff, authentic zipper, styrofoam head, textured with spray paint through burlap, his eye scopes are a part of a pen, he has little googly eyes and he’s all stitched up with tread.
Honestly, I thought the movie was really horrible, but I really liked the idea of trying to make a little creature. And now he pretty much creeps me out.
I wish I could have made his head and mouth better – ah c’est la vie!
My favorite part is the freehand stitched 9 on his back and the spray paint texture technique.
So, what do you think? Is he creepy or cute?
That is creepy, but also awesome. I love it.
I say it’s Creepy-Cute!!!! LOVE IT!!!
