Saturday I cleaned out my studio. It's amazing how quickly it always turns into chaos in that room. It never stays clean for very long, but there's order for a minute today. Whenever I start thinking of what I want to make next, I start by collecting baskets of items I might like to use together. May seems to inspire fairy-making, so I think that's next on the creative to-do list.
On the top of my gathering pile, I've added my first fairy art doll experiment from about five years ago for you. She's still one of my favorite little craft projects; she hangs out in my studio, spreading her good fairy cheer.
Her head is polymer clay, but her features are cut from old magazines; there's something about the way the eyes and smile turned out... part Marilyn Monroe, part pixie mischievious magic. Add that Mike's Lemonade bottlecap crown... I think it just works together ;)
Happy Monday to you!
