The first Vixen





This is the first finished Vixen, "Antoinette". She was named, of course, because I was forced to lop off her head.

Here is me doing just that, with my vellum guillotine.



I doubt I'll continue using this method, since I suspect the new multi-part molds will work better. (I still haven't poured with them yet, since I've been focused on glazing.) Future Vixens will come pre-decapitated, so I probably won't be wielding the deadly paper any more.

If you'd like to see more pictures of Antoinette (with her head firmly back on), she has her own pages here and here.

I hope she makes it to Breakables in KY next week so I can see her in person.

She's stunning. And I'm so amazed by your work, that you can photograph a SM scale piece, enlarge it so much and it still looks absolutely flawless.
