While perusing the web for other spooky miniature artists yesterday, I discovered the incredibly imaginative creepy clay works of 'wetpaintco.' on ebay. There's not much information on the artist's profile so I'll need to do a bit more research and actually make contact... The primary medium seems to be polymer clay sculpting over wire frames, then hand painted.For current auctions: http://myworld.ebay.com/wetpaintco./
The work is all one of a kind and described as being in 1:12 dollhouse scale. The style is certainly spooky but also a bit whimsical with organic shapes, shadowy colors, and little faces peeking out. The artist seems fond of animating various objects with spirits! Everything from trees, candle sticks, to chairs show a grinning little smile and peeping eyes. I think the 'haunted flames' pictured below are my favorite!
Wetpaintco. also likes tentacles. That is always a frightening motif, the idea of a slimy limb snatching at you from dark mirky waters! These are curling about bathtubs and sinks with a hideous grasp.
There is also this fantastic witch on her bike! Named " Rambling Rosie", she stands 6 3/4" from trike wheel to her hat. All Handmade of polymer clay and handpainted.
Well I will try to find out more about wetpaintco. and maybe even snag an interview!

I have the pleasure of knowing the artiste who is an extremly clever, lovely and very busy lady! Being in the UK she is a treasure to ship here and has always done so kindly and I am never dissapointed, always excited when a parcel is on its way, and delighted everytime with her creations. I have several pieces which I have collected over the years which are lovingly pride of place in my haunted house! For several months with a busy life there has been nothing on ebay but I was excited to see these new creations and hoping So much to be able to win one, though the pieces are very collectable now so I often loose out. Wish I could win the lottery and have all my haunted house kitted out in these spectacular miniatures. Hope you contact her, she is a lovely lovely lady who I am pleased to call a friend! Kate xx
