Remember the anticipation of that first kiss? This assembled
sculpture captures the moment as two porcelain cherubs close their eyes and pucker
up for their first kiss.
Sometimes I buy pieces when I cruise the thrift shops and I
don’t know what the heck I’m going to do with them, hoping inspiration will
strike. I found the cherubs and thought
they were kinda cute. But I’m not a
person who accumulates “cute things.” But
there was something about the youthful anonymity of these cherubs that captured
me. Maybe their upturned faces were expecting the Heavenly Host, but I thought they were anticipating a kiss. So much for my imagination.
I also had the big vase which was turning out to be more
difficult to use than I thought. So I
turned it upside down and it became the base for the totem. I find a lot of pretty double candle holders,
so I perched the cherubs on one of those.
Then it needed some transition pieces, and voila, I had a whimsical
garden totem. It makes me smile when I
look at it. I hope it does the same for
you.
