Ahhh the planet of Vulcan and all things logical and pointy-eared. Not to be confused with the town of Vulcan, Alberta, Canada - where all the streets were originally named after gods and goddesses. 

I'll confess. I'm not overly happy with my figure for this planet. She is a 3D print from Jukka Seppänen on My Mini Factory If you are considering printing this file for yourself, be wary. She is fragile. The petals of her skirt and her wings are paper thin. You have been warned! (she is sooo pretty and hard to resist)

Because of her fragile nature, I was leery of going in too much to fix the errors I made.  She will look pretty on a shelf from a distance! 

 

You can see her pointy ears peeking out from behind her beautiful blue hair, which was obtained with Talassar Blue Contrast. Her dress was accomplished by using a metallic white and metallic green wash over Shyish Purple Contrast. You can't see them, but she has cute little bloomers under her dress! 

 

I based her on an mdf flower and then glued a mirrored tile of the same shape on top. I thought it mimicked the flowers on her dress and crown nicely. I then affixed the figure to the mirror. 

This shot is with the figure held up to the light, to give you an idea how thin her wings are. They definitely mimic faerie wings and the pictures don't do justice to the shimmery effect I was able to obtain on them with a very thin metallic green wash. 

I was able to get some more painting supplies this past week. I am having so much fun with all my new things!
