sneak peek of project on the worktable

I don't think I ever shared this little sweetie...I was able to treat myself this last October at ART IS YOU to a night class with JoAnnA Pierotti.  This was a really fun project that I immensely enjoyed and JoAnna is awesome.  As an instructor and vendor, I usually do not have a second to even breathe but we made it happen - time to just sit and play.

as I mentioned I created a bunch of very limited miniature pieces for the event and wanted to share a bit...I am tickled that a bunch has already sold out but have made a few more batches of this & that

TINY GARLAND 1/4" scale - ORDER HERE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

TREAT FOR TWO 1" scale - ORDER HERE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

TINY BOTTLEBRUSH STYLE TREE - ORDER HERE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

VAL a folk art figurine - ORDER HERE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST
handsculpted and painted at a little over 1" high
she is one of my favorites - absolutely adorable

what a blast I had making them.  who knew - even though I grew up with miniatures in my blood (my parents have been self-supporting miniature artists since I was born) I never thought I would get into the scene.  As I grew older though my heart strings tugged back towards the teeny and the tiny.  Creating these in my studio involved a lot of patience, very fine painting on the tip of my finger but  LOTS of giggling with delight!

so if you haven't had a chance yet - go check out STAR FEATHER FARM for some yummy eye candy
