welcome to my studio!

It all started when my husband fell in love with another woman... We were in Nantucket, walking by an art gallery when he shouted, "I'm in love!". He caught sight of a woman smoking a cigar in the gallery. Which was not open. So we came back. (Usually I have to drag him in these places!) Her name was Ethel. She was life size and it felt like real skin, I swear. Great price too. I have lost the artist's name so if any one recognizes it, please email me so I can give credit where due. As much as we wanted to buy her, we had no room in our temporary quarters. We also had no room to set me up a studio. So one day I was playing with some polymer clay and came up with the brilliant idea of making a tiny Ethel for my husband's desk. Poor picture below left but if you make out her torso next to some keys you get an idea of the size. Center you see her in early stages - hey why would no clothes bother her?! She doesn't even have arms yet!!! And below right you see my husband, Dick "hell of a guy" Thomas with the original Ethel.

There are two series of dolls that I am currently working on. They will be photographed and uploaded when they are completed and ready for sale. Both series are fairies. Very tiny and very pretty. Rather different though. Series one is "Fairies in boots". Just your basic pretty little punk rock fairies. Didn't know about those kind of fairies? The second series is a bit more traditional. "Ruby fairies". Each fairy is wearing or holding a genuine ruby. Each fairy is a handmade one of a kind original. If you want to be advised when they are available, email me.
