I have been taking class with Mary Hettmansperger, multi-media fibre artist, here in New Zealand at Textile Fibre Forum Aotearoa. I was intrigued at what such a prestigious tutor could add to my current skill set - which is mostly fibre and paper based.
I was thrilled to find myself cutting and shaping, colouring and stitching into copper and finding myself with new doll shapes and ideas to explore.
I can see myself taking this much further as I loved using such a strange but lovely material and find the chance to use copper with my other fibre arts really exciting.
The image is a work in progress with insets still to be added.

It's very lovely even as it is!
Wow. That sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your newly inspired creations.
This is truly a break from the routine, a fabulous work! I am anxious to see more.

Ooh, the surface colors are so lovely. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I love how the skills and techniques used for doll making are infinite.
