This proud ceramic lady belonged to a marvellous old lady called Olive. I knew her for only a short time before she died, but her independence and no-nonsense personality stayed with me. Her family kindly gave me her embroidery silks (which I have used in another piece called ‘Ickle Ockle’, and I also have this little ceramic figure. So, in memory of Olive, I combined her lady with an altered and named Day of the Dead skull light switch I brought back from New York. This little tribute holds my memory of her still and was made for this lovely little vintage photo frame.
