Autumn is here and I feel so invigorated by the cooler weather.
I no longer have to walk my dogs at the crack of dawn
to keep from overheating them and myself.
There really is nothing better than a brisk walk in the cool morning air
facing a gorgeous sunrise.
An old hymn I loved plays in my head each morning:
"as I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
Oh lord, have mercy on me...."
I love a challenge but I don't always make the deadlines.
(She needs a name!!)
Help me! see contest info at the end of this post.
She is very mischeivious, I caught her trying to hide chocolate in my portulaca...
This little munchkin
is my entry for my Polymer Clay Guild's challenge:
"A Stitch in Time"
and my Art Quilt September Challenge:
"use hand dyed pleated silk to create something".
(Why not kill two birds with one stone-
because I love birds!!!
I would rather make one creation that suits two purposes.)
I sculpted her face, hands and feet from polymer clay
and then painted her face.
and then painted her face.
She has a tiny wire needle in her right hand.
The clock is made from Tim Holtz metal clock parts
I made into a mold.
Here she is Busting a Move- "Trying to take off"
Her wings are created with wire and
(the sheet form of angelina fibers-
which by the way comes in many wonderful colors)
which by the way comes in many wonderful colors)
They got really beat up while I was sewing her little dress
(another lesson learned the hard way)
so I will need to take them off and remake them.
Here she is supine, resting from all the hard work
of trying to fly with her damaged wings.
PS- that white stuff under her is the fantastic tile
my husband brought home for me. Isn't it awesome?!
She is a chocoholic too- thus the roly poly belly
which is stuffed with wool batting scraps inside gathered felt
and adorned with pleated hand dyed silks and rose ribbon
from my fabulous friends at Vegas Airs.
