Knowing she could fly
she tilted
This is one of those pieces that worked up just as I imagined it. Well, not really but the idea is very close. In my original idea she has feathers in each hand to help her fly, but once I dressed her the feathers lost their effect. I love the way the tatting works for the dress and using a small gauge of wire to give the tatting stability and placement adds fullness. The tatted pieces were created by a long lost family member and having learned to tat myself some years ago, it was nice to use, although I do not think Great Auntie would have ever thought of her beautiful hand work used in this way. I also liked how the rusty bottle cap corset worked with the soft thread. The next one will have a full wire dress, bottle cap corset (or leather maybe) and feathers in her hand to help her fly.
Things have been quiet on the home front lately. I have had my first international sale on my ETSY site...with a special order thrown in. The customer wanted a father and son holding the balloons sculpture and I was happy to do so. The pieces are finding their new home in Alberta, Canada.
Husband and I have been riding our bikes after work for the past few weeks. So off we go!
Peace,
Hilari
