Hello. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I know most people on this day have art work that displays clovers and leprechauns!  Not me..lol  Most of my work is inspired by a song or lyric something that I feel when I listen to music. So I thought "hey why not make a fairy playing the harp?" well, I built a harp. That did not turn out very well. Then I made a flute since I play the flute (only fitting right?) but, that did not turn out well either. I then thought GUITAR!! yes yes a guitar!! I first made this sorta big acoustic guitar. It took me all night to design. I put my newly made acoustic in her lap..it covered her whole body. It took me hours to get her stoumach the way I wanted it and to have it covered up was heart breaking. Needless to say I scrapped that! I found this shell in one of my boxes and went from there. I then took some clay and molded it to the shell and made a hole in the center. I took a paint brush and smoothed out the inside. Ii was exactly the right size! So from there I went for it and slowly this no name fairy playing a harp became a guitar playing Minstrel named Maryanne! I spent a lot of time in the details. I hope you like her!!:)
