On the Workbench
After an unintended hiatus I am back. My last post was in February! I was down with the flu for awhile and then my mom, who had Alzheimer's got very ill and passed away. It's a terrible disease and she is now free from suffering.
I closed my Etsy shop for awhile but it is reopened with new items. Here is what I have been working on:
I love angels and especially the idea that each of us has a guardian angel looking out for us. I have lots of design ideas for angels. This one is for the winter season, a holly angel. Holly is the birth plant for December and is a frequent decoration for the winter holidays. In days past it was believed to ward off misfortune and evil spirits.
I also love witches. This is a white witch with amethyst colored accents. It sold within minutes of my posting it in my shop! Someone must have been searching at just the right time.
This is a rope doll standing about 6 inches tall. She is a fairy tale maiden originally made as Jorinda from the Grimm's fairy tale Jorinda and Jorindle. She holds a red flower with a pearl (made of wool).
"Nibble, nibble like a mouse, who is nibbling at my house?" This idea for adding a mouse to the mushrooms I make has been in my mind for quite awhile. The mushrooms in my yard are always nibbled at when I view them in the morning. I imagine all manner of critters nibbling away in the night.

It's the time of year for flowers in the northeast. The design possibilities are endless. A customer asked me for a trillium flower or fairy or gnome, so I will be peculating on that.
