New~ From Folk Art From The Heart

2011-04-04T17:32:00.000-07:00

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.

New~ From Folk Art From The Heart

2011-03-11T16:13:00.001-08:00

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.

Salem, the cat, is 4 inches tall with his tail and made from coffee stained muslin with embroidery thread whiskers he was painted, sanded, stiffened and grunged to prim perfection. He's a leaner or bowl filler if you prefer, but Cackle will hold him since she has wired arms. Broom is 10 inches tall made from three different harvest colored fabrics then botanicals were added to the bottom and tied with rusty wire.

This little OOAK, Primitive, Art Doll is 9 inches tall. Abby is something new I am trying out ... an art doll made using primitive techniques. She will kneel or sit for you. Her body was made from the constitution of the United States material and her arms are wired to position nicely for you.
Abby's face and hands were made with coffee stained muslin and her face was hand drawn using water colors. Her nose and lips are also needle sculpted. Abby's face has been sealed to resist dust and retain its colors.

She's pulled up her skirt for you so that you can see that her legs are Americana red and tan fabric, her skirt is an Americana reddish brown with mustard color stars on it and her loons are little American Flags over tan fabric. She also wears a tennis visor made from the same fabric.
Abby is very patriotic and hand made (without the use of a sewing machine) in the USA. If you would like to purchase her follow this link to Etsy
