The first thing I have to say about this is....yeah, I know it is very weird for a grown woman to be making fake chicken legs. I never claimed to be
normal.
The second thing is that I realize that these don't look like actual chicken
gams. Sure, they have some
chickenesque qualities, but they are very stylized. I do have a set that seems more realistic, but I like the creepy factor better on these. We'll see which set ends up working out better on the finished product.
These are fresh from the toaster oven, no additional color added yet. I used ecru and gold.
These show a light blush of ruddy acrylic paint, just dry brushed to add depth.
Very poised, for disembodied feet!
Not the best shot, but here they are with a little grime added for more depth. I liked them better before the dark wash, but I know that clean chicken feet wouldn't make sense with the application. These feet carry
Baba Yaga's house through the woods.
Barefoot, wood-traipsing chicken feet would definitely be a bit dirty.
That's it for now! I hope to flesh out the house and get the legs on by the end of the weekend, but that depends upon a lot of factors, most of them family based.
I hope you check back soon!
Until next time, happy chicken dancing!

Some hair, perhaps? A little blush?
