Every time I create a project, it starts with my brain sketching it out, much like this little fairy. She was the subject of a photography story that helped illustrate key moments in her life, through photography only.

"Color is important to me, whether marker, pencil, or clay..."

The photography was staged and shot on a DSLR camera. The clay was made in my traditional process and simplified. Color is important to me, whether marker, pencil, or clay, so I chose to make this scene have specific colors to highlight what was important to me.

PLEASE FOLLOW ME as I embark on a quest to enjoy, learn from, and raise my little bamBEANos, in the best way this Mama Chickpea can. Art is my "balance" to life and I enjoy all the DIY therapy I can handle!
