She is so motherly.  Kitty calls me Madre and I adore that.

I can't even tell you how much I loved making this beautiful girl.

I wanted to add organic elements - I knew that before I even started her.

I had a shell from our beach walk in Betty's Bay that would make a perfect wing.

And of course I wanted to include my teabags somehow - I've been making roses with some of them.

I paper clayed them into her hair...

I completely fell in love with this over exaggerated expressive hand.

It is my first time doing hands in clay...

{stay}

I love the wing and word across her back...

both of these were in the lesson plan - I didn't have stamp letters.

I bought my first set this weekend.  I'm loving playing with them.

 {hands}

My second hand was a final addition.

And I absolutely love it.

This was a tough assignment.  My head kept coming off and detaching.

I spent most of my time reinforcing it and at last we have victory.  I learnt so much in this lesson.

I'm ready to make another one... I can't wait to play some more.
