Stephanie Blythe
The Journey

5 1/2"w x 7 1/2" H x 2.5" deep, porcelain, paperclay and all natural materials including wood, acorns, lichen and cicada wings. OOAK, 2006

This wonderful piece of weathered wood was the inspiration for this piece. I enjoy creating within the confines of a frame or an antique box. It not only creates a framework for my creativity; it protects the delicate materials that I often use in my work.

Leslie Molen
Moon Rabbit

24" Seated, Hand-sculpted head in stone clay covered in silk, body and costume all silk, stand in lacquered basswood, OOAK, 2007

In Chinese mythology, a White Rabbit is supposed to be the luckiest of all because of longevity, which is derived from the Moon. The Chinese speak of “Moon Rabbit” or “Rabbit in the Moon.” The Japanese lore has a symbol of rabbits, who live on the Moon and pound rice into ‘mochi’. The word mochi has two meanings; both rice flour and full Moon or Rice Cake! This Moon Rabbit I created had both symbols of a White Rabbit and a Moon Rabbit holding a rice cake with a Moon on it!

Richard & Jodi Creager
Geisha House Elves

8" Hand Sculpted in Polymer Clay, OOAK, 2007
 
One of the things that Richard and I enjoy most about Doll Making is to create 'The Story'... and the interaction of the characters in the story... we believe that this piece is a perfect example.... a small moment in time in the life of two sisters.
 
These two little Japanese Elves are playing dress up while their Mother is away shopping, and the fun they are having will be remembered forever!
 
All accessories are made by Richard, including the small wooden carved makeup pots, brushes, carved wooden shoes.
