Angels in disguise




I was working on my old beggar woman sculpt and the thought came to me that she needed some wings to show that no matter what we look like on the outside whether we are rich or poor or beautiful or haggard, its all what is on the inside that counts and sometimes when we are in need of an angel they appear in disguise of other people to lift us up. So here is my beggar woman who is really an angel once you take the time to look past that haggard wrinkled old face and toothless smile you can see her wings hanging gently down her back. I hope you like her and will remember to be nice to everyone you meet cause you may just be face to face with your angel

boo boo all done


I finally completed one of my boo boo babies, this little girl along with another head was left in the oven way too long as I turned off the timer and did not unplug the oven, I know I am so bad, well I completed her anyway and now since she is a boo boo she will get to stay home with me, I think she is cute anyway don't you?
I still have to do limbs for the other head and hope I can get them baked long enough to match this head, keep your fingers crossed for me, I will post he head later but here is my finished boo boo girl, her name is Leesa

how bout this face



this little baby is my latest one, Sometimes the clay just decides what it wants to be and that is what happened with this one. After I made the last 2 baby heads and had them bake too long I started to create another happy baby since this is what I was asked to make for a dear friend. Then while I was creating everything fell into place and I got this cute little face. Tomorrow I will make new clothes, we decided that this one is a boy and named Devon, stay tuned to see him in his new clothes and more photos of my boo boo babies

Krispy Kritters



I finally got 2 happy baby heads completed and had baked them both and was just doing a final bake to add the baked on hair, I was a good girl and set my stove timer, then waited until the timer buzzed and cut the timer off, then me and the grandkids went to get some lunch and sometime later I happened to think "Did I unplug the roaster" well when I got home I found the answer was no my poor baby heads had overbaked, they are now boo boo babies but will become babies never the less here are some wip photos of them I have to make a body for the first one and the second one needs some Krispy limbs to match so cross you fingers for me
