In 2005 I bought one of Wendy Froud’s lovely fairy dolls. The more I looked at it the more I thought about learning to sculpt. She sat on my shelf beckoning me to follow her into less tread paths and strange worlds. For the next 2 years I sculpted every waking moment and by trial and error began to create art dolls. My friends encouraged me to begin selling them and my life began to shift. Not only did I begin to make some money at my artwork, I began to walk a more spiritual path connected to nature. THIS is life. THIS is what it means to be human. Not “lather, rinse, repeat”, but the winding trails deep into the essentially creative nature of your one unique life.
HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR ELVEN ELYSIUM PIECES
"It doesn't matter where in the country I am- Florida, Pennsylvania, New Orleans.. I always make sure to wear Molly's Jewelry when out and about because I always get comments about it from random strangers. It's so creative- bright, colorful and has such a sense of playfulness and whimsy about it that makes any outfit instantly more fun. Many of her designs are adapted from nature, whether the wings of an insect or a new mythology she creates. I have joked that I am a walking advertisement for her work and I will continue to be as long as I can afford to. You can tell how much effort is put in to her sculptures down to the tiniest details of hands/fingers, clothing, hair and know that the amount of sheer work that goes into each one makes things stand out in such a beautiful way.” - Renee Scattolini, Bethlehem, PA
