Page 5 - Creating Whimsical Characters Using Simple Wood and Paper Forms, Wire, Paperclay, and Encaustic Medium

I asked my collaborator in art and life, Gerry, to work with me on

the sculptures. He was my carpenter, photographer, videographer,
and provocateur. He’s also my biggest fan and my toughest critic.

Early in the discovery stage, I met a very special gargoyle only 2

inches tall, and suddenly the gargoyles took over. And a couple of
sculptures turned into a children’s picture book illustrated with

multiple encaustic sculptures. A Gargoyle in Paris is the story of Dev,
short for Tiny Little Devil. Gerry says he’s the Barbie of Gargoyles.

Dev has everything. What I’m about to share with you is a behind
the scenes view of Dev and his friends with information on how to

create your own whimsical characters using simple wood and paper
forms, wire, paperclay, and encaustic medium.
