Madam Butterfly




Here is a piece I beaded to wear as a necklace..Isn't she pretty..
I drew the form out and made the body , stuffing it very firm....
The face I made with clay and then painted.
It took quite awhile to complete but well worth time spent..

    wow. that is fabulous!! You must have enormous patience to do such delicate pieces.
    I love how the "chain" seem to go round and round. How do you get that effect?

    I know I've said this before...but I really am in awe of people who are so crafty and creative. I am NOT one of those types. I scrapbook so my kids have some memories, but it's not fancy or creative....this looks great. :)
