Vahyu
"Vahyu, the wind faerie,
had been sent to the earth to it cool down from the relentless heat. She
brought with her a gentle breeze and the fae came out of the several nooks and
crannies of the woods in which they had sought shelter, to dance and celebrate.
Although her task was finished, she decided to wait a bit and enjoy the gentle
breeze blowing over her softly. Vahyu loved the wind. After all, it was
her element."
Vahyu means "the wind" in Hindi and
this name seemed to fit the sculpture perfectly. She is seated on a log of
wood with her hair and drape billowing about her. She has her head tiled
to one side and her hand is being combed through her hair, as if to keep it in
place.
Vahyu has been hand sculpted in Prosculpt
Polymer clay over a strong wire armature. Her realistic skin tone has been built
up in several thin layers using artist's oils. Her level of sculpting is
detailed with extra attention given to her features, hands and feet. Her
facial expression and eyes are extremely realistic. She is posed with her
head tilted to one side with her hand keeping her wavy tresses from flying over
her face on the other. Vahyu is a Pure Sculpt creation, hand sculpted without
the use of any molds. Vahyu is unique and will never be repeated.
Vahyu has streaked brown hair with blond and
red highlights, made from Tibetan lamb's wool. It has been styled in
keeping with the essence of the faerie, and serves to emphasize her wind blown
appearance.
Her costume has been made from net and silk
illusion which has been carefully draped.
Her wings are made of real semi-precious gemstone dust and
I have used stones such as jasper, malachite, white and yellow agate, which have
each been combined with glitter and various powders to give me the look I
wanted. Other parts of her wings have been decorated with variegated leaf
flakes. Her elaborate wings tend to compliment the simplicity of the doll
wonderfully. The wings can be gently posed if necessary.
Vahyu measures about 4 inches in her seated
position and would be about 8 inches if she were standing.
