The kids went to the Cornish Fair yesterday and Valerie was happy to find a first place ribbon for her items in Sculpture and second place in the Special Exhibits category! The picture below is one we had on hand of part of her miniature clay sculptures, and when we receive the items from the fair again, we’ll post a picture of the rest. Valerie has made extremely detailed miniatures of a tiny apartment, complete with bunk beds, clothing hangers, tools, and pretty much anything at all you could need in a super-mini home :-). There’s also a great collection of animal sculptures. How she manages the detail she gets at such a small scale, we don’t know. She’s had a wonderful art teacher for a few years, Linda Hammond, and we have enjoyed seeing her talents developed in various mediums. Great job, Val!
