I was invited to take part in a new book on epoxy clay: Inspired Remnants, Curious Dreams by Kerin Gale.
Personally I use epoxy clay to make the fragile parts of my animals stronger, covering it with papier mache. I am enthusiastic on the material. The books looks very interesting and beautiful and I can’t wait to see it.
Around the publication of this book a Blog Hop Tour is organized with artists involved in the book. I never took part in a blog hop tour before.
May 15 I will be the hosting blog. If you visit my blog that day and leave a message you can win many sponsored prizes and I will add an online animal class to these prizes. So you all should visit my blog on May 15: http://marlaineverhelst.com/blog
Here you can find the complete schedule of this blog hop tour: http://littlebitwired.blogspot.com/2011/04/inspired-remnants-curious-dreams-online.html
My fellow DABIDA member Esther Verschoor is also part of this book AND part of the Tour. Her blog is scheduled for May 11th.
Can hardly wait. Central Calif. is alert and waiting and excited. SMD
Thank you for the beak tip! Love your work!
Marlaine, I’ve been a fan or your work for a long time. Your imaginative costuming, posing and props are a real inspiration! I hope one day to take some of your classes! Thanks for sharing your tip on the beak!
So excited about this blog/book tour. Every morning first thing I check. Thank you Marlaine for sharing your beak tutorial. It has given me some inspiration for a project I had in mind, but wasn’t sure about construction.
Amazing art! can’t believe the details.
I’m so hoping to win this book and some clay, if not its on my must buy list!

Thank you. Must give credit to some wonderful artists I have worked with: Deibler, Slusher, Berman, and Art doll makers; Marlaine Verhelst, Ankie Daanen, Patti Culea, Anne Hesse, and years of enjoyment searching. Thanks again.
Marlaine your work is extraordinary!
I love your pieces. This blog hop is great!
Nice to meet you,

thanks for the mini tutorial on the duck beak, filing that for later use for sure, having a great time on this blog tour, thanks for being a part of it.
Wonderful and interesting doll pieces. I’d love to win a class about animal making. Your peek at how you made the duck’s beak has caught my interest. It looks like a very clever way to make a duck.
I am having a great time going to the different sites
that are part of the book tour…so inspiring!
Your creations are fabulous!
Dear all,
Thank you very much for writing a comment on my blog during the Blog Hop
Tour of the book ‘Inspired Remnants, Curious Dreams’.
Your positive comments made my day(s) 🙂
And yes, Esther, you were the first one.
Of course we get up a bit earlier over here than people in the US and Canada.
In the meantime I picked the winners of the fantastic prizes, by drawing. The
winners will be informed personally.
Thank you very much again
Hugs from Holland,
Marlaine
Thank you Marlaine, I look forward to receiving the art sheets!
