TAKING A NEW DIRECTION IN PUPPET MAKING


Last Fall I closed my doll shop
and took up sculpting in low fire ceramic clay


sculpting my puppets has become my happiness


moving forward 
looking to show my work in galleries
around my beloved
Florida


Now that I'm retired
and able to travel
this is the plan


learning to sculpt more objects for my faeries and creatures to  sit on


These puppets
have been entered in a juried
exhibit in St. Pete
keeping my fingers crossed 
big thank you to 
my friend
Kimberly Miller

for the kick in the butt
