Mother and Child  "Not for sale"
Mother is about to bestow a kiss on her baby's head.  This is a draped polymer clay bust that started out as an experiment.  But I liked it and decided to leave it without embellishments for myself.  Click on the picture for a larger image.

My Grandfather's Clock    Not for Sale
My grandfather had many clocks in his house; all of which had to be wound. They never quite had the right time except on Sunday when he set each one using his trusted pocket watch.  Grandfather stands 17" tall, and the clock is 18" tall.  Grandfather's head, arms and legs are made of cernit and his body is cloth over a wire armature.  The clock is made of Cernit and is a real time piece.  It keeps perfect time without winding.  The pendulum swings silently in steady rhythm.   My childhood relived.  Click on the picture for a larger image.
