Having taken Soul Food 2014 it was in one of Mysteles classes where we made a clay doll. Working with clay was newish to me, I had made a bowl and a few other things, but never really considered making a doll in anything other than fabric.
Grace - Clay doll
Well, I have grown realize as I have been making her how much I enjoyed working with clay, and this only came as I pressed in with trying to finish her. When I got over half way to completing her, I saw that like my paintings she had a story. I feel that each character has a story to tell, and a message meant for someone somewhere in the world and I am so pleased to have been able to let her bring her message of hope, love, peace and joy.
Her name is Grace, and she has been dressed in ribbed tights, a pinkish lace rimmed top and goldish/black shawl, head dress and a flower brooch, the head dress, shawl and top are made of fabric. She has a clutch bag with her for the most important things she might need to carry
Accessorized with jewelry with beads and a mini key which unlocks hopes and dreams. She and a chain at the back which allows you to hang her in a most prominent place. I am hoping to find Grace a good home and will be putting her up in my Etsy store over the next few days.
Grace has a story to tell!
She will be joined by some more clay art dolls that I will be making, as I explore this lovely way of expressing creativity. Watch this space!
