So here is the latest baby.
In case you have NO idea what you are looking at, I'll explain:
Take an antique toaster and spread its wings,
attach it to a roller skate with glass wheels,
and add a glass bandaid for a propeller;
place the queen (with a glass eye on the back of her head) on top of a vintage hand drill
so she can rotate 360 degrees in space and see all,
and fill her wings with all kinds of tools fabricated from glass:
a needle and thread, drinking straw, pencil, thermometer, umbrella, toothbrush, an extra hand, paintbrush, fork, toothbrush and some extra eyes just in case.
In fact, add a fused glass eye on top and a beautiful necklace cause it's a girl...
Now she is prepared for anything...she is: Mom to The Rescue!

Well, Paula, you've been a Busy Bee! This piece is quite Something... funny, textural, and Green.
I think my favorite part is the glass bandaid propeller!
Great job,

Wow Paula...this is really great. Congrats on the exhibit as well.

Too quiet over here...

This is fantastic Paula. I heard about this piece from Karen, who was also blown away, but it's truly wonderful. I'm glad to see it here.
I hope you're well.
This is the most wonderfully whimsical sculpture! Love it!
