Lotus shoe challenge


I created this sculpture using the body pattern from Michelle Munzone and then my muse took over and I designed the garment and created life size lotus shoes. Note the traditional make up and colors used. I also used jade and pearls for embellishments..the kimono is made from silk and I "bound" the feet as is also traditional. Also to note is the hair style and head dress.

Mermaid Business Card Holder


I created this mermaid to hold my business cards while they were displayed at the gallery show along with several of my cloth sculptures....I also make these card holders to be purchased on special order...real shells are used for embellishment...the face is hand painted..her body is wired and weighted for posability.

Goddess Brighid

At almost 3 foot tall...Brighid is totally sewn by hand...her body is wired for posability.....her face is needlesculpted and handpainted...she wears genuine stones and beads..celtic armbands...and her garment is made from vintage fabric I cut from an old wedding gown. I created rings for her fingers and she lights the way with her "flames".

Cloth Artistic Sculptures

If one could put a voice to my muse that others could hear.....it would be light and fantasy with sweet celtic sounds playing softly. There would be friendly creatures who stop to play and frolic through the meadows...yet find when it's time for a rest one needs to follow the pungent earthy smells of the forest, a cool stream and a playful waterfall to lull us to sleep.

I create sculptures made of cloth. I needlesculpt and handpaint their faces and they are totally handsewn. Their garments are also handsewn and I use new and vintage materials and embellish them with natural stones, crystals, beads, silk flowers, lace and anything my imagination leads me to use. I create mostly fae but do create other characters as inspired or commissioned.

Enjoy your visit into my world where peace abides.....and the creatures tell "ye harm none" "so mote it be".
Hugs and Blessings
