Introducting Tiny Stares #5 September Her Motto is "The End Is Mine To Right!"

This doll is a portrait of sorts, it's inspired by September, and her song "Cry For You".  The song is about living now, trying to squeeze the past into the now makes life appear to have flown by, the future is much the same, when we project our thoughts into the future, life seems all to short, because the past is reflected in its opposite.  The illusion is simple, you are feeling a fleeting moment, but reflecting memories of your past into it, the past has flown by in a pinch, and the future measured in that pinch feels much the same. The pinch of course is the present moment in this analogy.  The older you get the longer is the relative time span that is being pinched into the present, therefor you may feel as if you're moving through time faster, age has that affect on consciousness in time, but it's only an illusion.  Living in the Present is what I try to do to its fullest as Eleanor Roosevelt famously declared "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why they call it the present."
 There are valid reasons to examine the past, or seek refuge in the future, but in doing so I must remember not to die in the present.  The song Cry for You is a reminder to live in the present. Only in living fully in the present, could I craft a treasure embedding that message into a 1/12 scale figure, and here now share September Tiny Stares #5.

September is crafted in polymer clay, She began as individual sculptures of the upper torso including the head, arms, and legs; these where sculpted over wire, and brass tubing, cured at recommended temps, and painted with genesis heat set paints.  Once satisfied with the craftsmanship of sculpting, I assembled the costuming from various silks and embroideries, some of the elements used in September are antique or vintage including the ruffles, and lace.  When it comes to costuming I meticulously cater to details, using materials and tools that will generate a one of a kind heirloom, all the beading on the dress, and designing was based on hours researching the period represented which is the Rococo, Georgian era, stylistically made famous by Marie Antoinette.   I love this era of fashion and excess, and do plan on creating more Tiny Stares to reflect the era   Beauty past, present and future is a worthy pursuit, and that is why I established my business name as Venus Gaze Enterprises, I live and work according to LOVE, which to me means Living Outstanding Values Everyday.

living in the Present.
