    Tsukumogami trio(Objects come to life)


    Tsukumogami (付喪神, "artifact spirit") are a type of Yokai(Japanese Monsters and or spirits). According to the Tsukumogami-emaki, tsukumogami originate from items or artifacts that have reached their 100th birthday and thus become alive and aware. Any object of this age, from swords to toys, can become a tsukumogami. Tsukumogami are considered spirits and supernatural beings, as opposed to enchanted items.The most well known Tsukumogami are the Obake-Kasa(Haunted umbrella,my first tsukumogami action figure),the Bake-zouri(haunted straw sandal),the Chochin-obake(haunted Paper llantern),and the Biwa-yanagi(Haunted Asian lute).
    Here latest three Tsukumogami.You can see more pics here: Pictures by yokaijohn001 - Photobucket
    Bake-Zori(haunted straw sandal) ingredients:I sculpted the zouri from clay over an empty Rit Fabric dye box I had(I made the thong part from some twine-rope).I used some Doc mego arms(I had in one of my parts bags)for his arms.and I used some CTVT legs(from the parts bag)for his legs.I painted all sculpted parts with acrylics and sealed with mod-podge.
    Chouchin-obake(haunted Paper lantern) ingredients:I used an Original Mego type 1 leg to which I sculpted on a geta(Japanese wooden sandal)from clay.I sculpted the Lantern part from clay.I painted all sculpted parts with acrylics and sealed with mod-podge.
    Biwa-yanagi(haunted Asian Lute) ingredients:I sculpted the Biwa from clay and attached to an original Mego type 1 leg(the left leg that went with the leg I used for the Chochin-obake)which I sculpted on a Geta(Wooden sandal)and a chest,stomach,and Oshiri (butt)from clay.For the arms I attached a pair of CTVT arms I had in the parts box.I painted all sculpted parts with acrylics and sealed with mod-podge.
