little birds, little dolls and little bears

I'm doing a swap with Mystele, she is so creative and talented and I love her art work! she made the sweetest painting of a girl singing and I just adore it, so we are doing a little swap.. she is getting these little birdies! I hope she loves them! I had a ball making them!

They are made out of strofoam balls and paperclay. actually very easy! I couldnt decide whether or not to glitter them, but they did have a mother, and I glittered her, big mistake! she turned out like a big piece of glittered POOP!! so unfortunetly these babies are now orphans!! Mystele will need to care for them.. as their mother no longer exists! well she exists.. but she is not going with them!
I made them a little nest out of a little goblet and some excelsior (cant spell that!) and some little trims. the baby boy birdie has a little pewter pacifier! and the baby girl has a little flower charm.. I almost hate to part with them, because I do think they're rather cute! I'll be happy for Mystele to have them though!

IN other news.. well, its not news.. I dont know why I said that.. but anyways, Ive decided to go ahead and post the pictures that I've recieved so far of our miniature swap pieces. PLEASE please.. send me pictures to post!!

This first one was made by Sammy Stafney and was sent to Mystele. I understand that this was sammys first try at needle felting! she did an awesome job! look how adorable this little bear is!


This next piece was done by Debb George and was sent to Donna Robinson. Debb made this bear out of a little gourd and some spare bear parts. she also crafted the little playpen to go with it! I think she turned out really cute! Very creative DEbb!

Donna made this sweet fairy in a jar for Debb! Adorable! I believe she is created out of polymer clay? correct me if I'm wrong donna! She is sweet! I know Debb loves her!

This next piece was created by my buddy Barb Burkard ( i just love her!) Barbs sweet little bunny was sent to her partner Kecia Deveney .

And the talented artist Kecia, sent Barb this wonderful little kitty doll! this doll is a sister doll to the one Kecia made me for the last doll swap. she is adorable!

Next is a sweet little girl made by the very kindhearted and sweet Cindy Owens. Cindy volunteered to take a second partner when I realized I had somehow skipped someone in the swap! thank you sooo much Cindy.. and how lucky for your partner! Cindy sent this sweet girl to Becky Jorgenson

Cindy sent this beautiful miniature doll to her first partner Susan Van Horn she made a whole wardrobe (not pictured) for this little doll! Cindy I want to swap with you sometime! Actually I want to swap with everyone!!! anyways, this doll is awesome!
