Hello Flora... I have been silently following your blog and watching your magical creations take shape. Love to see the steps from drawings to a 3 dimensional piece. You are one amazing artist! I could see your illustrations and little characters in story books. They are like your personal fairy tales come to life. Thank you for sharing your process. I have never been one for creating sculpture but am in awe of those that can do it so brilliantly.

I just had to step from the shadows for the moment to let you know that I appreciate your blog. :)

Hey Susie and GG!!!I can't ever get this blogger posting in order!!!But THANK YOU , ladies for the visit and such wronderful comments!! Susie I was about to say no I didn't like getting dirty, but then I remembered , I used to dig up the ground to reach the red clay underneath and I would make characters with it!!!HA! I would never have remembered that, my grandmom had the figure for the longest time on one of her display shelves!!Thank you Susie for that memory!!!

Have a wonderful day.
