Tinkerbelle, Beffie Mia and Maurice

Photobucket



Well wouldn't you know...

the clean slate of my New Year's good intentions has already been written and erased a couple times over. That's just how it is with children and animals filling my cup to overflowing each day. Each day is a new adventure indeed, leaving many of my "good intentions" by the wayside.



Here are a few characters who have been making their patient passage through my good intentions since I posted last.



Finally, FINALLY, young Tinkerbelle is finished and settled contentedly on her cuckoo clock home! There are three places on the clock for her to rest as she is positioned ready

to take flights of faerie fancy.

She is quite small at 1:12 scale and would measure just under 5 inches standing.

There are so many little happy details that were added to her clock abode.
Thank you, dear Karin, for allowing me the freedom of time and grace to enjoy every minute of creating my first interpretation of Tinkerbelle! She will be flying home to Germany very soon
and will be missed...

Here is little sleeping Beffie Mia awaiting completion of her nest.
And her wings. She has been patiently napping for several months although
I know she is anxious to be united with her new mama.

Just because I love him so much,
I wanted to add a picture of jovial Maurice the SnowMan who visited us last Christmas from the most Northern country.
My children really wanted to make Snow People for Christmas,
so together we made this fellow and a couple of his frosty brothers.
Now, I am totally hooked on these icy characters
and look forward to perhaps creating more this year.


Pure fun!

Also,

Three newly sculpted faces in process of being painted for an exciting custom piece for the owner of Christmas Present!!


She has asked me to create with her a Christmas Future with the two street Children happy and well tended.


What a grand way to begin the New Year.
I do hope my schedule will come into focus. In any case...
I must keep on going...

that's what I keep telling myself...and somehow things do get done...


My next post will introduce to you an older faerie
who has been an ongoing perplexing mystery to me.
I would also like to show you pictures in progress of Christmas Future as well as her three companions - Her two children and a whimsical character I have in mind (inspired by James Christensen's art) to serve as a candle lighter...


We shall see what we shall see...
all in God's time.
Thank you ever so much for your most welcome visits
and all your lovely calling cards left upon my door!


I hope your new year is moving along well and you are content with your progress however small it might seem.
Let's just keep on moving forward, my friends...love, Rose

  7. Hello Anna, There is not much more tender and sweet than holding a baby in your hand...sigh. I can't go for very long without discovering a babe somewhere in the depths of my clay. Thank you for letting me know you enjoy her!

    and Christel, I SO appreciate your kind comment about my itty bitty Tink. Especially after your foray into Tinkerbell's world and bringing your own fantastic interpretation into being!! Following the very serious Christmas Ghost piece, I needed to spend some time with a couple light hearted friends!

    ever so good to hear from you both...love, Rose

  11. Warm greetings dear Penny and Tracy! Thank you for your thoughtful comments...Beffie is sending a hug back to you, Penny. I have fallen in love with your wee Fifi Mouse as she dances amongst the stars of her imagination.

    lovingly, Rose

  13. Welcome Vasudha! So happy you stopped in...I enjoyed traveling to India through your creative eyes and mind and discovering the unique decorative art within. I hope we will have a chance to talk again!

    'Warm bread' greetings to you, Anita! Wow, what fun posts from you and Pat...our family makes fresh bread daily, but not of the ilk you featured in your yummy blog. What inspiration for us to explore the fine art of bread making!

    Thank you both...love, Rose

  16. What a pleasureable trip I just took to Nowhere land and your Angel blog, Penny. Bebe has been quite busy I see and not one to be bashful in her new surroundings. Already, she has friends vying to be her passengers and co-pilot! How lovely is that...! And your new painting is wonderful!! By the way, a friend of yours has arrived this morning and caused such a stir the camera was brought out to capture it. I hope to include a picture on my next post!

    Hello Marcie, so good to see your profile and handsome friend at my window!! I have been missing you and need to come calling to see what your creativity has been up to. Thank you so much for telling me that you enjoy Tinkerbelle. She is almost ready to leave on her final journey home to Germany and is QUITE anxious to meet her new family there!!
    Now I am off to knock at your door...

    love, Rose

  20. Oh Pat, it warms my heart to know you are visiting...I would LOVE to make you a good Northwestern style espresso and share stories in front of the old wood stove tonight. It is raining outside and our mud puddles are growing, but inside it is cozy and full of activity. So...I will just wander over to your kitchen and pop my head in the door...and see what you are up to this winter's night. Thank you for writing! love, Rosa
