Colorblind

Albert Schweitzer: "An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is colorblind."

I made these many years ago. I call them my Curly Girls on account of their curly hair. Haha. They are all made of Sculpey polymer clay, handmade one by one, even their hair is made one "braid" at a time. I loved colors (I still do) so I made them in all sorts of colors. But I never gave any of them eyes. No particular reason. I just didn't feel they needed eyes. XD

I suppose you might find them creepy. Or cute. Or just plain weird. 8D

Because they are handmade, no two are identical but each one is about 4cm (1.5in) tall. Or rather, short. I gave some away to friends. I still have many more. (The colors have faded over the years.) I didn't make these Curly Girls for any purpose other than that I enjoyed making them. I enjoy working with my hands be it working with clay, thread and needle, or pen and paper. I'm really looking forward to getting back to some of my old, neglected hobbies when I finish my project. 8)

hihihihihi lovelyyyy i love the colors =))

These are wonderful...not a bit creepy! They are as good or better than many of the items I see displayed for sale. You put a lot of work and enjoyment into them, that is plain to see....and noooooo don't talk of leaving 365!!
October 15th, 2012  
Very cute
October 15th, 2012  
these have serious commercial potential, Livia... they're so cool.
October 15th, 2012  
What a great quote and REALLY cute dolls!
October 15th, 2012  
They are cute :)
October 15th, 2012  
How creative and fun. I agree with Cameron, these would be marketable if you were so inclined.
October 15th, 2012  
You're so clever - and again, I agree, definately marketable!
October 15th, 2012  
cute! Ever think of selling them on Etsy?
October 15th, 2012  
@gizathecat Nope. I never think about selling anything that I make. I think, if I had to think about selling them, I wouldn't enjoy making them at all. 8)
October 15th, 2012  
These are FANTASTIC Livia, I love them, in fact, if the current Mrs O'Neill gets fed up with me, I want to marry the one 2nd from left at the back, the one with orange hair, she looks fun. I import all sorts of stuff from the far east for my business, I think there is an opportunity here.......

I think they're wonderful! I live the "giggly" one, front row, left
October 15th, 2012  
These make me smile Livia!
October 15th, 2012

October 15th, 2012  
Such a cute & colorful capture!
October 15th, 2012  
Very nice
October 15th, 2012  
Beautiful colours. They remind me of a bunch of naughty choir girls, giggling as only a bunch of girls can! :-)
October 15th, 2012  
You are so talented. These are beautiful :)
October 15th, 2012

October 15th, 2012  
I agree with Michelle!
October 15th, 2012  
They're so lovely Livia. Very pretty. Great shot of them, colourful.
October 15th, 2012  
Livia, your Curly Girls are beautiful! A fav!
October 15th, 2012  
Ah excellent!!
October 15th, 2012  
Oh, Livia, these are wonderful. Such amazing talent. Wow!!!
October 15th, 2012  
They are very cute.
October 15th, 2012  
I can feel that `` I never think about selling anything that I make. I think, if I had to think about selling them, I wouldn't enjoy making them at all ``. I do have the same. It limits you joy and time you want to work at it and in return you only get money . I think they are funny , and love you choose of colors
October 15th, 2012  
Cute shot : )
October 15th, 2012  
Those are so cute - I especially love the hair!
October 15th, 2012  
You're so creative, and they're so adorable. I had a play with polymer clay and was terrible.....everything looked so bad.......awesome job! :-)
October 15th, 2012  
Nia
So darn cute! They do look like a group of giggling choir girls. I think without eyes was a very artistic and wise choice.
October 15th, 2012  
Very clever Livia, lovely colours.
October 15th, 2012  
Awww, they're cute. I love their little marbled bodies xx
October 15th, 2012

October 15th, 2012  
I love them, you are a very talented artist, photographer and sculptor, Livia!
October 15th, 2012  
So wonderful! I love all the colors!
October 15th, 2012  
They are adorable - What a wonderful bunch of Curly Girls, their colours are very sweet indeed and I am blown away by the fact that you made these. You have an amazing array of talent - Good work and if I had a little chorus of girls like this, I would find it hard to give them away - very cute :)
October 15th, 2012  
They are so adorable-- I'm sure lots of people would love to have them!
October 15th, 2012  
I so want these - WOW gorgeous
October 15th, 2012  
I think these are the neatest little dolls! I love the vibrant color of their hair and dresses. I also like how you didn't give them eyes
October 15th, 2012  
You are very creative! These are cool!
October 15th, 2012  
Sweet
October 15th, 2012

October 15th, 2012  
Rob

October 15th, 2012  
I liked the dolls, but glad you took up photography. Otherwise me never would have seen this part of your creative talent.
October 15th, 2012  
I love them Livia, they are so small and colourful and so sweet. Setting them up like this is beautiful, and fav for all those reasons:)
PS I would love to do sth like this with my girls, can you give me some more details re the materials you use and suppliers? They would love this collection!

I kinda don't want you to finish the project...as much as it will be wonderful for you to get back to your crafts, where will we go for macros of spiders???? Love your curly girls Livia. They have such character to them.
October 16th, 2012  
What a craftsperson, you are Livia. They are so very cute and colourful. Well done for the shot too.

October 16th, 2012  
Lin
Eyes are just one (in your face!) way of showing expression and emotion - and these girls are already expressing lots of happiness! Now missing a nose, that's a problem - kidding! They're beautiful.
October 16th, 2012  
What talents you have and I love these curly girls so much. With your talent you could probably make a small fortune with ideas like this. I am very impressed!
October 16th, 2012  
You are so talented Livia! These looks fabulous! You could make and sell them. I bet they would be a hit!
October 16th, 2012  
Oh I just love them Livia! FAV! They are soooo cute and you are just so creative. The curls really get me and all the different colours.

Love your composition and as always it's so colourful and beautiful.
October 16th, 2012

Awww, I'd by these in store for sure! Such a great collection, and beautifully captured!
October 17th, 2012  
Nice little figures! A few of my friends used to make little sculptures of this stuff too - I remember one made owls :) I tried once, but mine looked like rocks :) Great collection of colours - especially the hair!
October 17th, 2012  
A great, big, colorful, girly and curly "THANK YOU!" to everyone for your kind comments! I enjoyed making these Curly Girls and, if I had the time again (after my project, I hope), I would be more than happy to get back to playing with polymer clay. It just feels really good to be working with my hands. Again, thank you for your supportive feedback. I am grateful for it.

October 17th, 2012  
They are so cute
October 17th, 2012  
Unbelievable hair styles! Fav!
October 17th, 2012  
Love the colors. Did not notice that they had no eyes until I read your description.
October 17th, 2012  
This is wonderful!
October 17th, 2012  
Wanted to mention, I do not think they need any eyes, they look perfect. You are very talented.
October 17th, 2012  
They are wonderful! You've got great artistic style and talent! Thank you for sharing your amazing creations with us! :)
October 17th, 2012  
so sweet! Love sculpey! You are so talented!
October 18th, 2012  
They are gorgeous Livia! Love them!
October 18th, 2012  
They are very sweet- and could very well be the Professor's class patiently waiting while he's off on one of his exploits! Their curls remind me of the Irish dancers. Of course they might have a bit of difficulty in keeping up with the Riverdance music. What a multi-talented artist you are!
October 18th, 2012  
i love these
fav
love your little story too
a lady of many talents.
October 18th, 2012  
These are fantastic Livia, you should consider selling your art. I'm impressed by all your talents =)
October 19th, 2012  
@frida The brand of the polymer clay I use is Sculpey. You can probably find it in any craft store. It comes in many colors and requires baking in an oven to harden. There are lots of websites with information and tutorials for Sculpey clay, to make all kinds of fun figures, cute buttons, etc so if you google you will find them. There's really nothing else you need to start playing, just your hands and your imagination. There are molds and tools for Sculpey but I don't have them or use them. 8)
October 19th, 2012  
These are so adorable!
October 19th, 2012  
I want one!!! They are soooo cute, you are very talented and creative! I absolutely love their hair....fave for me:)
October 19th, 2012  
So cute!! I do hope that I'll still be able to see your shots somewhere when you're finished here?
October 19th, 2012  
Happiness!
October 20th, 2012  
@ozziehoffy I have no plans! XD Other than hoping that, after a break, I'll be able to find the time to return. 8)
October 20th, 2012  
@myautofocuslife I hope you do, I love your shots :)
October 20th, 2012  
What a fun shot. They are really cute and colorful.
October 20th, 2012  
What an awesome collection and they're all soooo cute!
October 20th, 2012  
Love them - they have their own personalities ....if l see them out in the shops , l will certainly recognise them ...great work and photo!!
October 21st, 2012  
Livia yet again you bring another talent out of the cupboard. You are just the most creative person. I hope you get to read this as it is a late comment. We will so miss you if you finish but it is such a time consuming project. I have really fallen by the wayside since finishing. Nice shot and they are great too.
October 21st, 2012  
You are amazingly talented!
October 22nd, 2012  
Wow. These are amazing! I want one. You either need to share how to make them or make more and sell them on amazong -cough, UK -cough. They are soooooo cute! I like the second one in from the right, but with the one behined its hair, Because, that would be me! - Sorry for the amazingly long comment but WOW This is amazing, Your so talented. A fav for this.. D: AMAZING! xxxx
October 22nd, 2012  
Weirdly , brilliantly cute!
October 22nd, 2012  
You are seriously talented and I am seriously envious. I tried to make wee curly girls (something similar) to put on the front of my wedding invitations but could not get their faces right at all! How did you do their mouths?! These are so good!
October 22nd, 2012  
@mrsg2012 Their mouths are easy. You know how a straw, if you look at it at one end, it is the shape of a circle? Just cut that in half and use (any half of) it to press softly into the clay. And there you have it, instantly, a smile! 8)
October 23rd, 2012  
Jo
These are so cute, not creepy at all. I love the fact they don't have eyes. I love their hair, even though I don't like my own curly hair!!
October 23rd, 2012  
Goodness Livia these are quite incredible! You are very talented
October 23rd, 2012  
Love the figurines, although I have to say it looks like they're up to something... ;-) Fav.
October 24th, 2012  
That's incredible Livia. You truly are amazing. Incredible creativity. Great capture too. Stunning color.
October 24th, 2012  
Fabulous shot! Love them, the colors are wonderful! Fav!
November 13th, 2012  
These are incredibly beautiful. I LOVE them so much and I want to make something like them one day. The photo is very lovely too.
February 1st, 2014
