A Word From Anne

This whimsical mixed media sculpture will bring a smile to your face every time she catches your eye.

Instant humor and happiness!

A little stretched canvas, the spiral binding from a desktop calendar, fun buttons. Separately they're just some things. Together? They're magic. A little being with removable "hair" whose greatest pleasure is reminding you to lighten up and play.

Welcome her to your home or take her to the office - she'll have fun wherever you place her. (And you'll feel her spirit of play, always with you.)

Created With Mixed Media

• Stretched canvas: primed white canvas with wooden stretchers measures four inches square and one inch deep
• Buttons: flat white buttons with black rims for "eyes" and rounded, "puffy" fabric covered buttons (two in pale gray and one in pastel green) to suggest clothing
• Spiral binding wire: black wire from desk calendar creates the "curls" and wiry quality of this sweet sculpture's hair
