My submission for Love Your Body Day 2011.  Amanda of Love Your Body Detroit sent me a silver piggy bank, and I transformed it into Hyacinth, the fat ballet-dancing hippo from Disney’s 1940 film, Fantasia!

I was a little distraught that I had to give her away, but I’m so happy with how she turned out, and I have ideas on how I could have improved it, so I may make another one.

Her snout and cheeks were sculpted right onto the piggy with Sculpey, baked, and then she was primed and painted with acrylics.  Her little back feet have a coat of gold glitter nail polish for the ballet slippers, just because.  Then I sprayed her with an aerosol satin sealing spray, and hot-glued on her tutu material with gold glitter hot-glue.  The material is actually a Disney-branded trim, too!

Words to express and  words to conceal. 

To create a dream or describe the real. 

Words to engage and words to reject. 

To be in agreement or to curtly correct.

Words to make love and words to make war. 

To hide what we know or share what we saw. 

Words meant to sooth and words meant to fight. 

To darken a day or lighten a night.

They’ve no life of their own or are worth e’en a cent, 

But that which we give them with certain intent. 

To use them with care with our own inner light 

Whenever we use them to speak or to write 

Is a goal for all people, but one hard to achieve- 

When internal impulses appear on our sleeve.

Words are forever and words can be lost. 

They seem to be free but can carry a cost. 

Knowing and caring are two different things- 

As is being aware of what words can bring.

Words can sing and words can cry- 

To express our deep feelings or reject and deny. 

How we use them defines our own way 

To all those who read or hear what we say.

AMAZING.

I wore my Birthday Bash dress to Penguicon last month, so it’s been featured in several of my comics about the convention.  There’s an official OOTD in the works– I’ve got it inked, I just need to apply the colors, but here’s a preview!

Also, if you want to follow my comic on Tumblr, you can!
