I have really been missing the challenge of creating animal sculptures. A few years ago, i began a series of mixed media figures made with paperclay. The only reason i stopped this artistic adventure was because i had to get a "real" job to support my husband and I while he finished his PhD. I am itching to get back to exploring this type of art doll/sculpted work. Soooo, I thought that i would share some photos of these past creations.
I simply LOVE fairy tale and fable characters (animals, of course) and the feeling of Cirque du Soleil. I hope i can create some of the whimsy and magic that i feel from those inspirations.
I'll be posting "the process" of new pieces in the coming days. It will be fun to document how each piece evolves.

You have a great talent. It is really great that you will be creating your dolls again. Can't wait to see your new stuff.
Carrie- My 5 year old daughter was given Caroline's Menagerie and two characters (Caroline and Filiberto)- when she was a baby- and she's just discovered the book. She loves it- and she keeps asking for Panna Sunita- the beautiful peacock. Can your Caroline Menagerie pieces still be purchased and where? Thanks!
OH my gosh, Angela, it is so neat to hear from you! How in the world did you find me? I was really delighted and surprised to read your comment. I'd love to hear who gave you the CM book and characters. I went to your blog and saw your beautiful family. I am honored that Miss Ella is enjoying the book. Please email me and we can correspond about a Panna Sunita creation.
Thanks so much for writing~~
Carrie
