HAPPY NEW YEAR

finished my last little doll, a painted porcelain mermaid

This year flew by

I conquered porcelain doll making

plaster molds, slip casting

Found out that porcelain is hell

love the dolls when they are completed

but getting to that point has been 

difficult

While rummaging through shelves of fabrics

I found half finished soft dolls

it was comforting to put them together

and just like that I was inspired

maybe a long break from something I love

has made me realize how much I missed

soft sculpture

Sitting outside with my Kitty

enjoying New Year's Eve afternoon

listening to birds sing

and contemplating 2014

  

Back in the studio my other Kitty warms

my favorite corner

a New year of dollies waiting to be made

how exciting

Happy New Year

WINTER SUNNING IN BLUE SPRINGS

Blue Springs State Park

where the Manatee spend the Winter

the Springs are warm

tranquil peaceful

this is where I go to think about life

the only sound you hear is the Sea Cows

blowing water bubbles at the surface

All my problems wash away here

I feel recharged

and ready to face a New Year

in the early days the Sailors thought they were Mermaids

sunning themselves

I love Florida

my home

CLOTH AND PORCELAIN

December the month that I experiment in new dolls

Cloth and Porcelain

My little kiln is going everyday

bisque firing

working on head plates to be attached to cloth bodies

but this morning the heads came off

and the neck plate needs 

work

casting all day
