Happy Secretaries Day

Follow me to Willow Hollow............

This little orchid was sitting happily on my desk this morning.  My all time favorite plant/flower looking perfect with my little zen garden.  

Happy Secretaries Day to all of those who work their booties off to make their boss shine :)  You know who you are and so does your boss.

Final Performance

Follow me to Willow Hollow............

I decided to add a circus poster to this piece announcing the very last performance.  If this is your first time seeing this piece, pop back one blog post to see the story of Choe' and Raja.

An Elephant Never Forgets

Follow me to Willow Hollow............

 Hi there!  So glad you stopped in to see my latest creation.  I have to say this was just about as fun as doing my "Cat in the Hat" sculpture for Art Doll Quarterly Magazine last summer.  You can still see this on my blog banner.

 Chloe is a circus performer who has just finished her very last performance with her long time friend and performance partner;  Raja the circus elephant.  Chloe sets the ball aside and unbuckles the harness to remove the head piece from Raja's head and trunk.
With familiar precision, Raja easily lifts Chloe up with his front leg so he can look into her eyes as to say, "thank you for my freedom".  Knowingly, Chloe closes her eyes and leans in to give Raja a hug and a kiss thanking Raja for his faithful service.

This may be the end of their performances together, but not to their friendship.  An elephant never forgets.   

**I am undecided if I will be selling this piece or not.  It was an idea that came to me in a dream and has deep meaning for me.

Elephant Love

Well Hello!  So glad you followed me over to Willow Hollow. 

I am so excited to see this piece come alive.  This elephant is part of a vignette I'm making for a magical circus series.  I love the circus and the performances, but am so happy the elephants have been given freedom from performing.  They are gorgeous  creatures and I'm glad they are able to live without the stress of working for the human race.  I just wish they were able to go back to the lands that they belong and survive.  For now they will be scattered about living as close to their natural environments as possible and can still be appreciated and observed.

Hang tight to see the final product.  Today is painting day!!!

Don't count me out.....

Don't count me out........I'm still here and creating unique characters.  I will be posting items for sale online here, on my facebook and on Etsy.
Stop in or subscribe so you don't miss out.

This is my latest creation.  I'm so excited to have come across the ribbon jointed doll.  I bought a tutorial by Dorote Zaukaite to learn the "jointed technique" and then I created this dancing circus performer.  I love everything about her, from her ballet pointe slippers to her Vegas style head dress.

Soon she will be all finished and available online for purchase.


A big thank you to all of my wonderful customers and artist friends who lift me up throughout the years.

XOXO

Pulling it together

Today is the first day in many months that the sun is what woke me up instead of an alarm.  Happy to have the whole day to work on my art and NOTHING else.
Pulling it all together today.
