Earlier in lockdown, I made 4 tiny beings with little twig feelers on their heads and although I loved them, I just felt like their story wasn’t finished and needed more work. So I spent the day adding on and working with on of them until this interesting little soul found her way onto my studio desk.

I know this close up video looks like she has lots of cracks, but when she dried there were no cracks. It’s hard to explain what is happening as the clay is drying but she dried out beautifully, a quick little rub with sandpaper and she was ready to paint. She was a total joy to paint too. I adore her quirky face and her expressive hands that totally help tell her sweet story.

I have a few little things to do to completely finish her but on the most part I feel her story is complete.
