Next in line is CHUNKIE Indian ….a little indian squaw who reminds me of Pocahontas…she is standing near her tee pee, making friends with all the birds that flock to her each day, because she is gentle and kindly and sings them sweet songs…
Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …
CHUNKIE Indian belongs to the following groups:
Animation Domination, Art of the Doll, Birds and Creatures of Flight, Childhood, Cutest of the Cute, Miniatures and Mammoths, Mixed Media, Myths, Legends and Fairytales and Woman Appreciation Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

OMG Karin this is so fabulous!!! you’re amazing. Look at that fire… the bird and that background is so marvellous. And the adorable little indian girl is just the sweetest. Her and Geisha are just perfect in my mind!!
Ohh… I so adore this.
Karin Taylor

Cool … I like the scenery too.
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you Dave, nice to hear from you…i’m glad you like her ;)
Pip Gerard
are they cotton ear tips died??? You’re so creative.
Karin Taylor
replied
hehe….no, but good guessin…would you believe they are actually flower buds from the little tree in my neighbours backyard which overhangs our fence…that’s what the flowers look like before they bloom (the same flower I’ve used in a lot of the CHUNKIES) :) xx
frozenfa
AAAAAA!!!! am absolutely loving this, Karin!!! there’s so much details.. i love her hair.. i love the lil birds and flowers.. the trees and background looks just perfect!! did you assemble in papers in real life, or was it photoshop? i love her hair, Karin!! and the materials you picked for her clothes.. just lovely!! and ooOOO!!! is that like a camp-fire? or was it a tent? i love how it looks like burning fire! XD is that matchsticks or plasticine too? Oo” LOVE IT, KARIN!! XD
Karin Taylor
replied
Hi lil fa…so long since we’ve met on RB….wonderful to see your lil TIM figure, cheers my heart always…..
Thank you for the lovely comments, wow!!! You notice everything…I forgot to explain in the description about all those things…
trees and background photoshop
materials for clothes hessian cloth, beaded necklace, headband created in photoshop
teepee/wigwam/fire matchsticks and plasticine, with an inserte spray of unopened flower buds from the next door neighbour’s garden…ooo…
feather and flowers real props
Karin Taylor
replied
I also meant to say thanx so much for the fave and everything…just love having you around :)
Christine Jones
Amazing details…they just get better & better. And your photoshop work is soooo good….you’ve taken to it so well. Keep ‘em coming….can’t wait to see what’s next.
Karin Taylor
replied
aw, thank you Chris…so pleased you think it’s a good one….the photoshopping takes a fair while, which i tend to forget about, that each one needs a time allocation just to work on that aspect…hehe…but it’s very enjoyable getting lost in the time portal!
I have to consider which one i’ll do next now…hmmm, could be a …........pirate?
Matt T asked me whether i’ll do a diver, i’d like to (with mask/snorkel/flippers i guess) but geez it could be a tricky one :) lol

am happy to be “back” too Karin!! especially to comment on your works here~ XD
am absolutely loving these chunkies series of yours, i’m sure you know.. in fact, am working on getting 1 surprise for you~ kekeke… XD
ps: just wondering.. will your neighbor’s tree suddenly go bare one day? hehehehe!!! XD
Karin Taylor
replied
giggles…i hope not….i just sneak up to the fence…which is higher than my head…and reach up sneaky as i can…and pluck whatever i can reach….the only other flowers in our garden at the moment are the frangipanis over the other side of the fence…and they are too large…although I could resize them, i didn’t think of that :)
Let’s hope the neighbours never find out hey ;) although they are really nice people, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind too much !

RiSH :
CHUNKIES RULE!!!
One thing … as you mentioned the title Indian ... being Indian (actual) ... I think you meant Red Indian … I am not complaining … but when you refer as Indian … I thaught otherwise.

Hiya RG…sorry, yes…I mean the ‘American Indian’ or “Native American”.... I didn’t mean to offend..hope i haven’t…thanx again ;)

lacitrouille
Ooohh, what a cute little one! The fire is very inventively done, and the rest of the background is wonderful. Although I love all of your work, I’m developing a certain weakness for these adorable chunkies. :)
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you so much Josette, for the thoughtfulness of your comment…I really do appreciate you very much ;) xxxx
sweetscent62
Gorgeous Karin : ) !! very cute… Wen x
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you so much sweetie !! :)
Carmen Cilliers
You have WAY TOO MUCH TALENT for one person Karin! This series is awsome and I am in agreement, the details are wonderful! You should be using Fimo and baking these, you’ll use the figures again in the future. Your NYE resolution is paying off! xxx
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you very much Carmen, you are very very kind to say that!! I know i should have used something more permanent, but I really can’t afford it…... the plasticine is costly enough, and that’s a fraction of what fimo would be in the amounts i need….i know it’s disappointing as much for me, as everyone else :( but i just did them for fun, as an experiment ….as something joyful and simple to be enjoyed…they seem to be much more popular than i ever imagined!! hehe…..xxx
georgiegirl
This is my fave Chunkie so far!!!! ok… and the Geisha and China Chunkies too!!!! Love them!!! You’ve done such a marvellous job. Sometimes its hard to tell what’s real and what’s photoshopped! Not that it matters either way, they are all so awesome with such amazing details… Brilliant work ;D
Also, in ref to the neighbour’s obviously beautiful tree/bush… it needs pruning every year anyway, so you’re actually helping out!!
Karin Taylor
replied
lol, thank you georgiegirl, i’m partial to the indian too :) xxxxx
o0OdemocrazyO0o
awwwww tooo cute this is great! love teh b/g too :D would make a neat animated show… you need to get out teh old stop motion and make this a show :D
Karin Taylor
replied
hehe…thank you so much!!! so glad you like my characters!!
Artsez
These are just ridiculously cute Karin. They are a wonderful idea as well as superbly crafted. I think you should work for Aardman. These guys are the next Wallace and Gromit!
Karin Taylor
replied
Thank you Sarah, I’m so glad you like them!
That’s a great vote of confidence for me!! :)
BubbleDoll
