Just her hands, a small table high enough for her to stand at or use a tall stool to sit at, and some stick looking tools for fine detail. Then the art goes into a kiln. Then she paints it. Time is consumed. She is happy and content as she watches her glob turn into art that makes people s jaws drop to the floor.
Every single piece is original.
She might try to duplicate one on a special request but it still won't be the same one. It will be a spin off and original in its own right. She uses her own recipe to stain the carvings, which looks like a red tinted walnut wood. What she doesn't sell she uses in her garden to accent the procumben trees, tiger lillies, China ivies, trumpet vines, Riverbirch trees, and the silver needles of her Hopsi trees. These even surround fountains, brooks, and small ponds.
