| St Philomena- for Eden |
This reminded me I had never done a complete post on the birthday saints I have made through out the year for our family.
I have mentioned before how much I love this craft and really that is good because have no real artistic ability at all.
I usually print out the image of the saint, or it could be any other person and use this as a guide to the colours and objects I want to feature. Sometimes this is hard and they do not turn out exactly how I want them to.
I am really enjoying painting my figures for the exchange and writing the story for them as well.
I have other plans for painting, that I am most keen to start as well, and I really do recommend this craft for even the most craft challenged or art challenged like me. It is quite addictive!!
So here are our saints so far since April 2010
For those of you who have never seen the ones I made for our Alphabet Path here they are as well.

Wow! Gae, I am so impressed. What a beautiful collection of saints to treasure. Could you tell us where you get your doll bases from? I feel so creative just looking at all the wonderful things you have made. God bless.
How gorgeous!
Gae, they do look like fun to make.
I love how you grouped them as if they're having a great chat amongst themselves :-)
Makes me think of the 'great cloud of witnesses' who look on as we continue our pilgrimage here on earth.
You are tempting me to borrow some small children to make these for lol!!
love..Trish
Dear Sue,
Thank you for that. I get these bases from Winterwood in Melbourne, but I am looking in the US for some differnt shape ones.
Dear Trish,
Thank you for this again. I actually think the ones I made for Lent/Holy Week
