I am a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am also a designer, teacher, sculptor and writer.
In 1981 I found a clay called Fimo at a miniature meeting and began to play with this wonderful material making doll house scale miniatures like teddy bears, rocking horses, carousel horses, babies, dishes, food, candlesticks, what ever was needed or wanted for a doll house. The resulting interest in these tiny sculptures inspired me to open a studio in my home where, for the next 7 years, I was a stay at home mom, designing and sculpting one of a kind miniatures and a signature line called PenniBears for the miniature market.
After spending the next 15 years as a commercial designer/sculptor for United Design Corporation in Noble, Oklahoma, I started my own design company and then teamed up with Miss Martha of Miss Martha Originals, working with her to start the subsidiary company, Sweetbrier Studio™, The main product of this company is rubber push molds for use with polymer or metal clay.
In February of 08 I retired from commercial designing and am now creating original designs in both Polymer Clay and sculpting for original molds to make lovely and fun Ceramics.
Creating beautiful things is a rich joy to me and sharing my knowledge with others is a blessing.
