PAPER CLAY DOLLS

These little pearl dolls are my new passion, primitive, paper clay and lots of coats of paint

They will be Faerie Kids, dressed in cute little outfits, with colorful yarn hair, tissue paper wings

Got to go back to work, lots of new dolls coming soon from Twigs Faerie Land Studio

MEMORIES OF ST. PATTY'S DAY

I belong to this fabulous group of artists ADO, artdollsonly.blogspot.com

Every month they have a mini monthly challenge, and this month GREEN was the inspiration

I made a hand dyed faerie in shades of green. She has Angelina fiber collage wings.

St. Patty's Day always brings back fond memories of my home town Chicago. St. Patty's Day is a huge event. The River is dyed bright green, the smell of corn beef and cabbage is everywhere, and creamy potato soup with a side of green beer. The great parade down State Street, and the wearing of the green. This is one of my favorite windy city holidays, feeling a little home sick, I gazed out the window and saw a green fairy-bird whistling a tune. This brought a smile to my face. A gentle tapping on the window, and a Green Sprite dancing a Irish Jig!

I may miss Chicago, but I love Florida, where all my little friends live!
