Ha'penny Dolls

It has been a glorous winter's Saturday. I stayed up late and began this little couple last night, and then managed to sleep-in this morning. I have flitted from one spot to another today. Morning coffee with my brother, his wife and my very beautiful 8 week old neice. A wander through a local art show and then lunch with a stamping friend. Afternoon coffee at a friends home about ten km out of town - a great place for Maggie to ramble - and then back home. I feel so refreshed and relaxed.

I am happy with the way these two have worked out, they have been in my head for a while ... and the name, from the Australian half penny in their tummy - which turns the 'glossy accents' a lovely green as it dries.

Now to be domestic, washing to fold, ironing to do .... my other reality.

Hi there Julie

Sounds like you have had a glorious Saturday. I am sure your 8 week old niece is beautiful(and loves her aunty already - how could she not?).

And, I love your 'Ha' penny Dolls's!! I like what you have done with the ' Zetti' like arms (are they the ones from Sall?).

Your art always inspires me. As you do.

Yes I found that Glossy Accents reacted with some copper filings .Gave a nice bluey green hue. Interesting.
