Hi folks! ....and now for something completely different! Introducing precious little Peter, my very first one of a kind (OOAK) mini baby sculpt.+Precious+Peter+2..jpg)
In April this year I stumbled across OOAK dolls on Ebay and just had to find out more about them. I did a bit of research on the Internet, bought some magazines and found out about the Discover Dolls international show to be held in Peterborough in June.+Precious+Peter+3..jpg)
Reborn Artist and Sculptor Cath Roberts was teaching a class on how to sculpt a mini baby which I just had to attend. My precious little Peter (Peterborough influenced the name) was completed on the day. The class was amazing! I learnt so much and it has really ignited my passion for sculpting. It is something I have always wanted to try. It is truly amazing to see a little sculpt emerging from the clay.+Precious+Peter+4..jpg)
I'm really looking forward to making more babies (tee hee) and having a go at making 'cuties' that are more caricatures which I think will be more my style.I'll be starting a separate blog for my sculpts to be called 'Tia Nena's Nursery'. I had a long think about what I would call the baby blog and all the cute names I could think of had already been taken. Even suggestions by the mastermind of Mr. Dry! So I decided to use a name that is personal to me. I have always been called Nena by my folks and others in my family. Since the age of 10 I have been an Aunty which is 'Tia' in Spanish. So for more years than I care to remember I have been called Tia Nena by my nephews and nieces. Although it may sound a bit weird... it's still very much me!
I hope you like little Peter. Looking forward to reading your comments.
Ciao for now!

I'm a bit late with this one, Sandra, but I was just reading your comments on Michelle's blog and had to come and have a look!!
I can't believe your sculpted this gorgeous baby. It's so real. At first I thought it was one of those baby dolls they advertise in the Sunday mags!!!!
I shall definitely be keeping my eye on your new blog!
What a talented lady you are.
