A Bottle of Girl

I made this little girl many years ago. She is standing in a little glass bottle. (It used to be a mini bottle of jam. The jam was delicious!)

She is really tiny, only about 6cm (2in) tall.

I made her out of polymer clay. Sometimes I get the urge to work with my hands and when I do, I play with clay, sew with felt or make some jewelry. Polymer clay is super fun because it's soft, mess-free and comes in many colors.

I've never gotten around to naming my little girl. But, getting her out for this shot and looking at her, I was thinking that she looks like a Mary. What do you think?

PS. I know she has no eyes. None of the little girls I make has eyes. I have no idea why. I feel they have no need of eyes. But, even without them, I know they can see perfectly well. (Should Strange be my middle name?)

[Brian Baptie]

I think she is more a Bernadette!!

[Leah]

Love her hair!

[Reba]

she's wonderful; love the swirliness of her skirt and how it looks through the glass

[MikiChelle]

Adorable. Great composition

[karenann]

Mary's charming! So tiny and beautifully made. You're an artist, Livia!! Maybe you'll be showing us more of your work in photos?!! :)

Nice shot..and very cute creation....maybe a Mary ....but I'm thinking Olivia.....

[Mimi Ditchie]

What a great creation. And your lighting and set-up are perfect.

[Sophia Ziburtovicz]

She's wonderful. Definitely a Bernadette, like Bernadette Peters, the Broadway musical actress.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

I think she looks like a Sally, don't know why. she is a cutie anyway.

[Peter de Graaff]

Great idea

[marg]

She looks like a Polly to me - what a beauty! You are really creative.

[Netkonnexion]

Excellent shot. Love the expression on her face.

[Michael Witt]

Bernadette for sure. Nice one!

[Amy]

She's adorable.

[FaerieMoon]

Very cool--you are very talented. I think Mary works for her

[Muse]

Very nice, both the pic and the little girl! Would she be French, I'd call her Juliette :-)

[Tracey Hatcher]

interesting and original

[Livia]

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to visit and leave a comment. I appreciate every bit of feedback I get. I love all your name suggestions too!

@karenann: *LOL* I'm no artist! I just enjoy working with my hands. It's a very satisfying experience to be able to create something with one's hands. You'll probably be seeing more of my clay stuff or handmade jewelry because just about everything I make is small and easy to take photos of! Heh.

Again, a big, heartfelt "Thank You!" to everyone for your supportive words!

[naladka]

She made a great shot! Oh, and I like name Juliette too :)

[Mair]

Very pretty shot of your little girl.

[Howard Steele]

[Courtney]

Beautiful artwork all around. Wonderful use of your space

[Beth]

This is adorable. You're very creative.

[Peggy Scroggins]

Very sweet little girl. You did a wonderful job on her.

[Michelle]

This is amazing, well done

[Pyrrhula]

Go for it. Sure you will make beautiful jewellery out of polymar clay
If you can make beautiful dolls like this one jew, will be a piece of cake

[Juanita]

Adorable - you are very talented :)
And Mary seems perfect!

[Princess Fairlane]

You are very talented! she's so cute and adorable. Yeah Mary is a perfect name for her! :D

[Terry]

she is so cute

[Jane Hyde]

how cool - i think her eyes are under her hair - well for me they are - people often call me strange too - i take it as a compliment : )

[lil Buddha]

Fantastic use of negative space in the composition!

[Lisa]

Fave! Polymer is so fun.

[Rach_who]

Very sweet shot.

[Mary]

That is so cute!! Love the red hair! Yes, name her Mary! lol

[Hope Russell]

She's cute. I like the simplicity of the photo. Maybe your girls don't have eyes because we see with our souls (okay, a little cheesy)

[Kimmi]

This is too cute

[Glendq]

i think marigold is a good name... just a bit more then your mary
what a talent you have

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

Wow! You made that?! It's incredible :) and having no eyes suits her in a strange way :) as does the name Mary :)

[Geertje K.]

Very cute! so nice, did you make it yourself?

[Jason Daniels]

Mary is pretty cool, and no she don't need eyes. I think with those red locks, she would have an Scottish Accent.

[Marit van Overschot]

Like it!

[Peachy Keene]

Ohhh, polymer clay is a blast to handle!! My son and I played with some for the first time recently. I think I had more fun than he did ;)

[Display name? Ummm....]

Awww, I love this! :)
