This blog is about making OOAK (One of a Kind) sculptures – sometimes they are called OOAK Art Dolls or OOAK sculpts. I really enjoy making OOAK and sharing my OOAK adventures – both my successes and my failures – here, on this blog. Although some people refer to them as Morezmore tutorials, I myself [...]

Last Update: February 16, 2010
Good morning. I got my elastic finally, put everything together – the elastic is one continuous loop. Well, folks, she STANDS – barely, but definitely stands. So now it is a matter of shaping, and refining and making all parts symmetrical – right now one leg is shorter. [...]

Ball-jointed dolls interested me very much for a while, but document.write(’Lily by Enchanted Dolls’);Lily by Enchanted Dolls impressed me so much I had to drop everything and make my own BJD.

Good morning! Mom sent me an email message with a festive holiday background and it caught my eye. Here is the next sculpt concept:

Continued from Part 3: http://morezmore.com/myblog/2008/08/26/rusalka-3/
After a few months I am ready to pick up clay again.
I have this incomplete sculpt – Rusalka and that is what I am going to do – finish Rusalka.
What I have right now is the concept and the base. What I need to make – Rusalka herself.

Day 44 (August 26, 2008)
Continued from Part 2: http://morezmore.com/myblog/2008/07/24/rusalka-2/
Moving along – baked and sanded. One of the arms needs to be redone as clay was not packed well enough – there were voids in the clay which became apparent after baking – so I carved that part out and will redo.

Day 11 (July 24, 2008)
Continued from Part 1: http://morezmore.com/myblog/2008/07/24/rusalka-1/
Good morning! So, about that “fat suit technique” that I wanted to try (pack the clay around the armature, cut off the excess – basically carve the body out of the lump of clay). Well, I did not find it practical.

Good morning! It is time to pick up the clay again! While I am waiting for the Fool Muse, I decided to create Rusalka.
Rusalka
(plural rusalki) – are Russian water fairies. Sometimes “rusalka” is translated as “mermaid” but it is not quite the same thing. Russian rusalki don’t have a fish tail like mermaid, [...]

Day 1 (April 15, 2008)
Behemoth jumped the line and butted in. Nothing I could do.
Behemoth is the cat from Bulgakov’s book “Master and Margarita
“. …The third member of the company was a cat the size of a pig, black as soot and with luxuriant cavalry officers’ whiskers. The threesome was [...]

Day 1 (April 10, 2008)
This will, hopefully, be a beginning of a whole Tarot set – a major undertaking for a turtle sculptor such as I am. But, with a foolish optimism, quite in the spirit of the first Major Arcana card, I am embarking on this journey.

I am starting a new sculpt “The Mistress of Copper Mountain”. For now, I am collecting the material, refreshing it in my memory – this is from one of my childhood books. In a nutshell, it is a mythical female entity who appears as a beautiful enchantress or a lizard.
Here is an [...]

After a long break in sculpting, I decided to finish the mermaid which I started a while ago. I am trying to figure out this blog thing, so that I can keep my Work in Progress and be able to chat here too. I am making a mermaid.
