New~ From Folk Art From The Heart

Tooth Fairy Ornie



This Tooth Fairy is ready to visit the next youngster getting ready to lose a baby tooth. She will use her trusty wand to magically transfer the tooth from under the youngster's pillow and deposit a coin in its place. The tooth will then be taken back to the Tooth Fairy factory where it will be turned into pixie dust. This special dust is what the Tooth Fairy uses to sprinkle on the heads of newborn babies so they can grow baby teeth when they get older too! It's not every fairy that is chosen to be a Tooth Fairy. It's a special job and this Tooth Fairy takes it very seriously.

The Tooth Fairy was created in my smoke free studio in sunny California. She measures 4 inches long by 3 inches wide and will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.

Ginger and Fred



Ginger, just slightly past her prime, still loves to trip the lights fantastic. Dressed in her finest dancing gown, she gathers her new partner, Fred, and heads out to dance the night away.

Ginger was created by me, using my own hand made paper clay. Fred was created with polymer clay, as was Ginger's shoes. Once baked, Ginger was hand painted using acrylic paint. Chalks and oils were used to create highlights and shadows. The whole piece was then antiqued to bring out all the details. Finally the piece was coated with a satin sealer to protect the paint and keep the colors vibrant for years to come.

Ginger was created in my smoke free studio in sunny California. She stands 5 inches tall and 4 inches wide and will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.

Cheers Folk Art Snowman

Let It Snow All Year Round! A cheerful fella, this snowman has been painted on 9x12 recycled canvas with acrylic paints. His canvas home was discovered as a previous painting, unloved, in a resale shop. I swooped down and snatched it up, brought it home and cleaned / prepped it for a brand new painting. I can see snowman life renewed in items that have been left to fend for themselves.
