What to reveal about Scarlet?

10/17/2018

A little Sneak Peek --- A rose by any other name is still a rose. This means that no matter who he was before or what he has done, Scarlet acquired his name and simply has forgotten over time what he was called before.

He remembers being one of the Fae who decided to leave the land outside the Shadows' Realm and live within the Shadows. Usually he thinks of himself as a peaceful, kinda quiet Fae. Leave him alone, he says little and goes about his business, but when he is mad, watch out.

He has a little of his cousin Rumpelstiltskin's temper in his veins and how his face turns bright red when he is upset. Therefore, the name of Scarlet has stuck ever since.

Now, knowing this about him, if I render him with his fiery temper showing, who would want to be around that much fireworks? He finally agreed to show his sweeter side of his personality to me (but I had to let him know that if he didn't, I would sculpt his nose bigger than it really is).

As for what he does, he is the farrier for the Nytemares. What does that mean? (No, a farrier is not what you call a male Fae, they are still called Fae.) He creates the shoes for the Nytemares for their nightly runs.

He stays pretty busy keeping them in the stables until it is time for them to go out at night. Scarlet does not have the same anger at the Outies and the Dragons as the Nytemares do, so he does what he can to keep them in check. In doing that, he has kept this shape now for so long that even he does not remember his real form anymore.

So what Scarlet has shared with me, I have now shared with you. Soon, I hope, he will be willing to reveal more about himself...

The Art of Dance...

Micheal also has produced abstract paintings of his dance. Now it isn't so much the art itself that has captured my mind, but the way Micheal presents his art. He creates his art with the steps of his dance as he wears his dancing shoes dancing in the paint. This way the person who is viewing his art is seeing the energy that goes into creating those steps.

Have you ever heard or seen Micheal Flatlery of Riverdance? Who doesn't love the music and the sounds of the tap of all the dancers in perfect harmony. That was magic to my ears! For that is how I view my art at times..

My hand waltzes along the jaw line of a head I am creating. My fingers flow from the top of the nose down and around the eye to pivot back around towards the ear. I stop and even might twirl the head from side to side as I see all the different perspectives being pulled together to create my character.

So often I say it is the process or the dance that is important to me, not so much as the finished piece. It is the experience itself of inner discovery and achieving a new exhilarating way of discovering something magical that didn't exist before I started. In the joy of the dance with myself and the character, we slowly come to a breathless halt. To take up the dance again in the next steps of the process.
