Today

But all this was not enough ...
I wanted a family!!!!!

never planned to have 7 wonderful children...

That was God's plan ....

....by given me the most wonderful husband and my best friend!

My sweet grand baby.... Alissa Sophia.... "the apple of my eye"!!*double grin*

God's Grace to me has always been present in my life .... He knows my heart and my desires.

He blessed the worked of my hands in the most beautiful ways....... a whole new pleasure I discovered.....
...a world of beauty in clay!*grin*

My love for France and everything about this country came at young age when I watched my dad and mom speak in this beautiful language , talk about Paris after their trips there and how they both loved Paris.
Dad travel a lot ... to many countries ...

Italy

...but Paris was his favorite!*grin*

Polar Bear

I was itching to make a polar bear and to my surprise I received a commissioned one. I was anxious to work on him but I had to set him aside for a little while because I was out of town , but when I got my hands on him, I was refreshed and so happy about it.
His eyes are semi precious stones and when exposed to different light sources, the bear *changes* its moods- I love it!*grin*
He is flying to Australia tomorrow! Good night dear readers and friends!

The Dolls 'House Magazine Publication

How thrilled I was when last Monday, my dear post master brought me this magazine. This is the Doll's House Magazine from UK- July 2010 Issue. You can read a lovely article about me and my work, so wonderfully written by the doll maker and writer Viola Williams.

This came at perfect time too..... I am listing my polar bear/ seal set on eBay tonight, so if you would like to bid or just look , please visit my auctions some time tonight or any day next week. the auction will be in a 7 days format.

Polar Bear and Baby Seal

**Icy**

This past winter I made this polar bear. I have been experimenting with stands too.
My inspiration for this polar bear stemmed from my personal interest in these majestic beasts. Polar bears are some of my favorite animals that belong in the wild. After researching polar bears and their sources of survival, I learned that seals constitute a part of the polar bears diet!* sad grin* I then thought that an interesting way to portray these two creatures in a lifelike manner would be to put them together as one creation. Thus, the birth of my “Polar Bear” piece- an attempt to portray not only realism but splendor and might as well.

ps. All these pictures are in high pixels and if you click on each one of them you will see them enlarged and the details are more visible.

Thank you for visiting me and my creatures. Your comments are welcome and appreciated!*grin*

Polar Bear in the snow.....

Clara.... waiting....

Clara is waiting for her companion.... nop, is not the bear.... grin!

Ragdoll cat and polar bear

I was not planning to list this rag doll until next year but I changed my mind. He/she is now listed on ebay.
Cats are one of the most challenge animals for me to do. I find that I have a long way to improve and to be honest with you sometimes I make up to 3 cats to finish just one.
The faces are the hardest for me but trimming the wool is pretty hard too. This cat is just a little over 1" and been at this size the details can be lost during the making process.

I make my own glass eyes for all my animals. Finding the *right* size for the cats was another struggle. I used to make a 2mm size and not I make 3mm and I think this made a huge difference on the cats in total, after all the life of the animal are the eyes, won't you agree with me? they need to be just right!*grin*

Momma bear and cub still available at ebay. I will miss this set very much. Momma bear has an expression that reminds me of my self. I am a mother of 7 and their is nothing in this world more precious to me than my children, grin, Momma bear is not a young bear and her muzzle will tell you and life was not very easy either.... alright, alright... why not have some fairy tale to it?*smiles*
