Welcome to my blog, my name is Mary Esther Ward and I am an artist living in Northeastern Pa, USA.
My current artistic passion is making Soft Sculpted figures in all different sizes.
I have experimented with a lot of mediums but so far this process is my favorite. I'm always trying to learn new things, and hope to showcase some of them in the blog process. I'm new at this but so far it's been lots of fun meeting other talented bloggers and keeping up with their creative processes.Here's my giveaway doll, a 10" OOAK "raggie" with handpainted face and wool hair.
She is signed and dated on her foot.
To participate, leave a comment and make sure I can contact you if your name is drawn on the 17th, and so that I can visit your blog.
The winner will be notified by email, and posted on my blog.
This Event will be closed to comments at 5PM, EST today, Feb 17. so that I can choose a winner, which will be announced tomorrow!
Thanks to all who participated, it's been great fun meeting all of you!
