This week Zibbet “traveled” to Schondorf, Germany to interview sculpture artist, Christine Wex. We love her “Poppets” she creates with various mediums such as polymer clay and wool.CWPoppets is the name of her shop on Zibbet. Her original art sculptures are truly unique. Christine will also take custom orders. How about a one-of-a-kind sculpture made of someone you know?Please enjoy the interview, leave Christine a comment, and then use the Share Tools so others can read it, too. Please spread the Zibbet Love!
Hi, my name is Christine Wex. I was born and raised in Africa, I’ve been living in Canada for 8 years and right now I live in a quaint little village on a lake in Germany.Having always been an impatient person I started making my one-of-a-kind miniature figures (animals and dolls) while waiting for my first child to arrive. From that time on making my creations is a big passion for me.I’m mother of a six year old boy and a one year old girl which is pretty time consuming. I’m also working part time. I have a dog, a cat, a huge garden and there was a husband somewhere, too. 
Everything. It can be a book, a painting, a movie, a person I see somewhere or even a piece of fabric.I get ideas from all around me.
There are a lot of wonderful animal and figurative artists who inspire me and motivate me to improve my technique or experiment with different materials.Too many for the little time I have. I love cross stitching, gardening, cooking, hiking in the Alps and reading I like how easy and affordable it is to set up a shop!I also like the blog which is very informative.And it is very exciting to see it growing.I would like to see more detailed information and graphics for my shop stats like links, comparisons, etc.I also would prefer to have other means of payment methods offered.
I have a blog where I post regularly.Pictures of my “poppets” can be found at flickr and ArtWanted. I also just started getting into the world of facebook.Furthermore I attend one miniature fair and one doll exhibit per year.If you think you have something of quality that people would like to buy give it a try and set up a shop. Otherwise buy from Zibbeters whenever you can. Spread the word.Link Zibbet with your blogs, facebook page, … whatever you have. Keep this place lively and growing.an figurative artist full time. I would love to have more time to make my figures. I would also like to have more contact to other artists.Everything else I wished for is already in my life.Tags: CW Poppets, Featured Zibbeters
It is thought that pearls are the queen of gems and the gems of queens. What woman has never worn a pearl? June and pearls just go hand in hand. Whether for a bride or guest to a wedding, a graduation or birthday gift, pearls are timeless treasures that have been around for centuries. Classic and modern jewelry designs are found in over 300 pages on Zibbet. Pearl supplies for your own jewelry making and design work also abound. If you need a gift, pearls are always welcome.
