For Manikin: Three friends who keep watch over me from my mantel.
These tender souls stand atop boxes. They are composition figures, and were designed by Nicol Sayre.
Snowman Clown is quite jolly. He has a paper ruff and hat. 10 inches.
The Winter Carnival Angel is my favorite. Her gentle visage expresses a serenity tinged with wistfulness. Her wings are fashioned of paper, and feature flourishes ‘rendered in India ink’.

She is much more beautiful in person! 14 inches.

Best wishes for a splendid Fall!

Thank you very much, AmberRose and Bellin, for the "loves" and very kind words!! : D
Love the angels and the snowman clown is probably the only clown that doesnt frighten the begeebees out of me.
Thank you very much, mustangtony!! : ) Yes, these are gentle souls. I do have a few cute-scary Halloween pieces, but not many. Perhaps I'll post one on Wednesday.

Thank you very much, inky!! The praise of a fine aesthete and a master gardener is much appreciated!!! : D
Oh they are wonderful MiKKo ! They make you smile for sure . She is done as antique paper mache doll that was popular mid 1800's . Lovely display once more
Love love !
Thank you very much, Manikin!! I hoped that you would like them, and I knew that you would love them if you could see them in person. They 'don't photograph well'. ; ) I so appreciate your scholarly opinion on the style, materials, and era!!! Hope the storms spare your area.....

Thanks miKKo, and if I'm a little "off time" I just adjust the timepiece accordingly, LOL. Thanks again
Kerry
