I
started modelling some clay, had (lots of) plaster moulds
of it, and then cast it with plaster (yeah, same stuff
for moulds and statue... and rigid. It's been a real mess
to get it done, now I would look for other materials).
I called her Dolcemuta, which you can translate "Sweetmute".
Don't know where this name came from, perhaps it has something
to do with the fact that she hasn't ears. It simply happened
that while I was making her, she started being Dolcemuta
in my mind.
In the beginning, I thought of her as sort of an albino,
in the middle between being a sculpture and being a very
pale creature. Then I felt that she was a statue *becoming*
a creature.
The eyes should have been normal albino's eyes, but then
I just put some red on their whole surface, and looking
at her, well, I realized that those were her eyes. All
red, with some smudges on the edge.
To make everything more convincing, I put some glossy
varnish on her teeth and eyes.
