Glowing Gisèle

 

This glowing creature is Gisèle, she is one of my favourite custom orders from last year. The flower in her hair, is an antique 18k rose gold and glass-enamel pin, with a genuine diamond in the centre! Her delicate complexion beautifully captures the unique translucency of white porcelain. To achieve this look, I gradually built up her skin tone by blushing on several nearly transparent layers of China-paint between multiple kiln firings.
