Another Challenge

Somerset Life had a call n' challenge, this time it was for peat pots. Karla Nathan had been the inspiration for this challenge, with her Peat Pot Pretties. She uses  Frozen Charlotte dolls, in her beautiful creations.(scroll down to the 6th photo).  I thought of how easy peat pots make it to transplant seedlings. I am a transplant from the North to the South. I decided to make a figure to represent this idea, of being transplanted. When one is relocated, you  have to adapt, you have to replant your roots, tend your soil and try to bloom where you are planted. This inspired my creation.   
                                                  

                                                                                                 

I also thought about growing pains and raising children. How their pains aren't theirs alone. How we as parents have to learn and adjust, to seeing them grow up and become less dependent on us. This was in the process, not yet finished. I added curtains and a clothesline, with a tiny item of clothing.

I made a few other items, some I didn't send, like this one. A zinnia made with old dictionary terms.

 I thought I would show you a peek.
