Hand Me That by Angela Sullivan

Hand Me That by Angela Sullivan

I have a ceramic hand that is quite tall. I often

drape pretty scarfs across just cause they are pretty.

Whaa-La! update

She's emerging......almost done!   I wanted to have this piece speak of my experience of France.

When I visalize images of France, I think of the architecture...the metal work....the history....the inspiration.  So after using the handwritten letters from the 1880's that I found at the fleamarket for her petticoat, I decided to make her gown using grout to represent the buildings in Paris....I crackle glazed it and then added some fabulous metal leaves and flowers that I cut off of a wreath that was hanging on my door.   They were perfectly rusted and weathered. :)

The final touches will be the rhinestones that will add the inspiration that I felt as I discovered France.  

The photo of Amelie ( my fleamarket hand ) shows my box of rhinestones, ready to be applied.  Almost done......
