Get Personal with your Art

It's easy and fun to make your work personal.  I often include little messages in my work, sometimes I use word charms or alphabet charms to share a message or spell out someone's initials.  If I'm making a doll piece as a personal commission, I usually include a message inside the piece as well as birthstones and other elements when making the piece.  And sometimes I just muck about with the stuff left on my table, with no special intent, and you get little unknown thingies.  No doubt there's some deep underlying meaning in these little people, but they are fun to make.  They can stand up on your desk, hang on the wall, or depending on your design, you can wear them!
