Here are a few pictures of what I love doing. I truly wish my camera had cooperated!! Uh well...
Angela's accessories are a lovely lavender hat and shawl that my Mom, Dardie made.
Quiet Feather seem to just come to me as I was painting her, I took feather binding, and wrapped her chest with it, then added a feather to her hair. Doesn't she seem to stand so proud?
As I've mentioned before, I love working w/ polymer clay and once my family found out they have had lots of requests, granted I am a Newbie to this medium and genre.
One of these requests were for mannequins and shown here is one of several I have made, without molds, etc...The saucy lavender dress (have you guessed Mom's favorite color?) is also of poly clay and the string of pearls are real seed pearls.
Stay tuned! More to come....
Lizzie is a miniature porcelain doll I received as a gift through www.minidolllist.com She came to me as a doll kit which I put together, made a pattern for, and hand made her outfit.. She was fun to do and I am starting on my second little porcelain doll.
What is it that makes our heart skip a quick beat when we chance upon a piece of miniature perfection?
Our hand, of it's own violation reaches out with trepidation, to touch a bit of perfection and marvel at it's design. As we examine it from every angle, w
e can't help but to wonder about it's creator, and whether we could actually leave behind this incredible object that we have now somehow claimed as our own.
I know that's how I feel when I chance upon a piece of miniature art that seems to whisper, 'touch me, hold me, am I not perfect?'
And then, determined to create a piece of our own residing treasure, we painstakingly gather our tools and supplies and pray we can see that lovely piece, that perfect miniature, and actually pull and coax it
from a mound of clay or mould-poured porcelain.....This, my friends is my quest...what is yours?
