Her presence made the men weep from her beauty and the women scornful with jealousy. She inspired.

A lovely nude muse scantily draped with a blanket. She is a small plastic figure who has been slightly altered. She is sitting before a brown backdrop awaiting her admirers. The piece is set into a vintage pendant watch measuring 2 inches by 1 1/2 inches. The scene itself measures just over half an inch. Chain is added to buyers specifications.

This is part of my new line on Etsy titled MiniChic. I've worked with miniatures and jewelry for so long and I'm happy that I've finally married the two again. I used to sell these in my old shop, desktopdistractions, and have sold them locally for years. If you have anything in mind or want to commemorate something personal, I'm happy to create a scene for your needs.
