Caught a fairy.....

Can you tell that there's a fairy there? The picture quality sure isn't great. She is less the 3 inches tall. She was flying around the deck last night and I had the wire spring..so when she wasn't looking a put the spring around her...and got her!!! Ok...just kidding. (like you didn't know right?)

I made her body out of polymer clay, then dressed her in tulle and some fiber bits, added some wool for her hair and added beads to her skirt. She has wings made out of leaf beads. I made the wire spring and painted it pink. She was fun to make but sure tested my eye sight! LOL

Bags and Birdcages

While we have been busy putting our farm back together since the flood I have taken some time for some new art.

My dear husband has some old jeans in a pile, so I took some and created this bag. It looked kind of boring until I painted on some flowers and swirls. I love the way it turned out.

I made this birdcage out of clay and then painted it. I love the quilt on the swing. It's clay also but I thought it turned out great.

New beginnings

Greetings! Welcome to my new blog.

My goal is to share the art that I create after I'm through with my daily farm chores. I have a great life as I get to live my dream. By day I take care of our farm and farm animals. We currently have Shetland sheep, LaMancha dairy goats, Nubian dairy goats, a Jersey/Holstein cow, geese, chickens, ducks, guineas and turkeys. Very soon we'll also be adding some angora rabbits. I can't wait to meet them! Then by night (or rainy days)I enter the world of art! YEA! I have a studio on our farm that is my home away from home..or my escape. I'll share pictures soon. I hope you enjoy this journey along with me.
