tart, I am still creating and selling at Arts and Craft shows, vending at Cat shows, and am carried by boutiques. At the height of my participation in fairs, I sold at 25 weekend shows per year. I am now showing in about a third of such venues. Being exposed to many medias, I gravitated toward sculpture. I started making ‘TinyCritters’ in kiln fired earthenware clay but also created larger animal sculptures, wall hangings, jewelry and much more out of kiln fired earthenware and stoneware clays for my sales. In 1987 I was introduced to Polymer clay and I took to it immediately. During the mid to late 1990’s I participated in 120+ Internet Polymer clay swaps of assorted polymer clay miniatures, jewelry, ornaments and canework. For a change from sculpting I also enjoy crocheting. Through the years, as another artistic outlet and a change of pace from miniatures, I have also decorated cakes for a caterer, and assisted in scenic and prop work for local theater companies. For Affton Centerstage Theater I worked on props, scenic design, construction and painting for ‘Grease’, ‘Hello, Dolly, and ‘Godspell’ amongst others. Louis I’ve made regal banner standards for ‘Camelot’, street lights for ‘Sweeny Todd’, flying birds on a fishing rods for ‘”Joseph’...,” moving ‘alien’ tentacles for “Return to the Forbidden Planet”, a talking head in a suitcase and a talking raven for ‘The Robber Bridegroom’, a backpack with quintuplets of varying hues and unknown paternal heritages for “Cry Baby’, an anatomically correct ‘bat boy’ baby and decapitated cow head for “Bat Boy”...amongst other less strange props...
During the past few years I’ve worked pretty much exclusively in Polymer Clay making miniatures and jewelry. I’ve been toying with the idea of returning to some kiln fired clay work recently, however. (I still have 4 kilns and a lot of clay and glazes just sitting...) I currently live in St. Peters, Missouri, just west and across the Missouri River from St. Louis, with my husband, son, and three opinionated felines. My daughter lives with her spouse in Columbia, MO. THEY have two dogs, 6 cats, and two rabbits and every one of the critters has a large MarbleMini portrait!
