Paper Pixies

Today was spent working on some more Paper Pixies. I am also working on a PDF file on how to make them. It will be offered through my Etsy store. I think I need to make a boy pixie to go along with her? What do you think? These are so much fun to make. It would be so much fun to make them even smaller, put them in a decorated birdcage and maybe make some paper birds to go with them! It sounds like another project!

Another Doll In The Works

It has been a productive week for me. I managed to get one doll sculpted and two more are in the works. Do you ever wonder why you do some of the the things you do? That is the question I am asking myself after working on these fairy boots for three days and still not finished with one and the little fairy in the background needs two. I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend. We have had record temps here this week. Hot and muggy! We have a cool front that will make its way here this weekend, so I hope to spend some time working in the yard and just enjoying being outside.

Doll

She is finished! After 3 days of embellishing I have had enough! I have a story to tell about her. She was at one time almost complete, but I did not like her face, so I took a knife and actually cut the head in half and started over sculpting a whole new face( One of the great things about paperclay!). It is hard to get a pretty face (with paperclay), but that can be a good thing if your trying for primitive or rustic look. I am going to have to set up a background and lighting so the pics will be better.Click on pic for larger view

Almost Finished

This one is paperclay.
Another piece I am working on. I actually have three pieces going on right now. This one is sitting out in the sun right now and after a little bit more embellishment she will be finished and then I will share the details.

What I am working on this week

This is what I am working on this week. She is sculpted with polymer clay. I am not sure where I am going with this, but I like her so far!

Beautiful People

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I know and have known some beautiful people and this statment rings truth for me.
Maybe all of lifes battles are worth it if we become one of the beautiful people!

Textile Collage Added To My Store

I have held on to this piece for a few months now trying to decide if it needed more embellishment. I have come to the conclusion it is finished!!!!! It is hard for me to let some things go and this is one of them.
