Inspired by characters from my all-time favorite animated movie,

“The Last Unicorn” written by Peter S. Beagle.

 

If you’re unfamiliar (or need a refresher), Schmendrick gets himself into trouble with a group  of thieves and ends up tied to a tree. Frustrated by his situation, he shouts, “I don’t even care!” and mutters a spell in an attempt to free himself. Being the failed magician that he is, he finds that he has inadvertently awakened the tree instead!  The tree is thrilled to have him so close. As she’s confessing her undying love, he mutters,

“Oh, God! I’m engaged to a Douglas Fir!”

The Engagement

“The Engagement” is a multimedia piece. Both Schmendrick and the tree were sculpted with Super Sculpey polymer clay and painted with acrylic paints.The mosses, flowers, ropes, and even Schmendrick’s hair was hand dyed to get the perfect tones. The entire piece stands 17.5” tall. Schmendrick would be 5” tall, if standing without his hat; and 6.5” with his hat..
