@on the bay 

       Thank you so much. It seems that you have come to know my style well and discovered my secret. Now that I am retired, I have the time to imagine things to create a little fantasy world.  I have always loved creating things since I was a young child. I believed in Fairies and all things magical and I loved my dolls. Learning sewing, painting and many kinds of arts and crafts, opened a whole world of things to create.

   I think that after the past several years and how this world has become, we all need a little occasional escape from reality that has become a little too real. Back in the 60's, this is not the world that we imagined our future world to become. We were so idealistic and optimistic back then.

  Now, we can only make the best of each day, in our little corner of the world. I do try to see the glass half full and am grateful for my family and what we have. There is much beauty to see in the world, if we take the time to look.

   I'm having fun in my old age and I love sharing my creations

and bringing a smile to the ladies here.

That is beautiful--I love it!  You should make and sell these. I'd buy it!

@KKJ @DSD2   Thank you so much.

                          Back in the late 70's and early 80's I had a little gift shop with all kinds of things that I and two of my aunts made.

               There were some items similar to this, but I didn't make acorn people. I made miniature nature scenes on wood slices and in brandy snifters or other glass containers. On driftwood, I made scenes with seashells , little seagulls, seaweed and dried flowers.

               Then my shop morphed into an antique shop.

               It was fun having that little shop. I wish that I still had it. My grown daughters are talented artists and we could fill a shop with things to sell.

That's enchanting, talented @Enufstuff !   Trust you to know about these magical little creatures, and whip them up out of nature, and your own fanciful sensibility.

Delightful.

This is absolutely beautiful!  I saw it a few days ago, looked at it and thought, "oh that's cute" and moved on.  I just read your story.  Becorn is SO much more interesting now that I know the story behind him (and it's def a "him" lol).  I can't wait to read about your daughter's reaction.  What a generous and talented mom you are

So it's YOU!  I've always wondered who and HOW those glass bottles with intricate scenes in them are made.  Do you have a website or is your work on a photo hosting site?
