Meet Bernice...


According to my commitment...I am trying to finish my started projects before going on with something new. I had 2 paper clay projects in process. I was able to finish one over the weekend.

Meet Bernice...

With basket in hand and flowers tucked tightly under her arm, where could Bernice be headed? Perhaps she is on her way to school and the basket is filled with morsels for her lunch (and to share). Maybe Bernice is on the way to a sick neighbor with a basket full of yummy homemade treats and hand-picked flowers for good cheer. You decide.

Bernice is a one of a kind art doll. She is hand sculpted (no molds) from paper clay. Bernice was inspired by a photo of my great aunt Bernice taken in 1923. A photo of the real Bernice is shown also.

Love her! Lezlei, I can't believe you created this charming little gal from paperclay. You have such detail in the face and clothing. Wonderful that you had the pic of your great aunt to use as reference.

Hugs,

I think if someone doesn't snatch this up in your etsy shop soon, I may have to get Bernice to move in with ME!
