Over the holidays I created fairies to give as gifts to my Mom & Aunt (they are twins). I did the blue fairy for my Aunt and the green & mauve one for Mom.

The bodies are cast from a mold from White Gothic Studios. These are the fourth & fifth fairies that I've made - I'm still learning, but I've discovered I love making them. Each time I make a fairy, I think I get a little better and learn from the previous mistakes. I'm really hoping to take some classes or seminars to learn more about sculpting.

I'm participating in a deco round robin with a group of dear friends. Each participant decides the theme of their book.
The theme of Elaine's deco is Childhood Memories. These pictures were taken when I was four years old and my Mom, younger sister and I visited my grandparents in England. We spent the day at Pevensey Bay, playing in the sand using tin cans and old spoons. Afterwards I remember going to an ice cream shop.


Passages and Portals is the theme of Irene's deco. I chose images of my Nana and Aunt Gladys to use in her book. The picture of my Aunt is from her identification booklet from WWII. I also used a scan from her rations book. I don't know when the image of my Nana was taken.









I also participate in a monthly 4 x 4 fat book page swap. The colors for December's pages was white & grey. I used an image of myself from the same trip to England, taken in a park. I altered the image in Photoshop and cut it out to use. Don't you just love those saddle oxfords? I remember they came back in style when I was in the 5th or 6th grade.
