“My hands are elegant and my ears… well they were a surprise even for me but I’ve been learning to love myself even with my little oddities. I’m always leaning in, to listen carefully to life’s subtle nuances.”
She was such a pleasant surprise even for me. She’s tiny and she was built around an old fashioned clothes peg. She was a rebuild and rescued piece, like most of my pieces tend to end up being but she originally had these ears on her back as wings which I removed, as I’m not really a fairy kind of gal. So I was playing around with where to put them and I tried on her head and that felt kind of perfect for the Quirk auction. Unfortunately I didn’t get her finished in time for the auction but her ears ended up being such a delight to me and to others but most of all I loved her elegant hands.
I have fallen in love with hands again - it was a common theme that ran through most of pieces that were in my auction.
I know this last while has felt like a bit of a clay season for me but I’m just enjoying it and moving with it, that being said, I’m missing my paints and canvases terribly too. In the meantime, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the love and support around my clay works - it’s been so greatly affirming.
