The little sculpted masterpieces from Ralph Allen Massey (Raven Studios) have become treasured collectables that have inspired quite a following in recent years. There are other artists (studios) who market similar pieces (see Harmony Cottage, England), but there is something uniquely descriptive and captivating with these special creations. Many of the pieces, in fact some of the most collectable, are sculpted facial portraits of Victorian and Art Deco period maidens from Sylvia Bennett. Ralph Massey & Sylvia Bennett have transformed resin into the most endearing expressive characters. Whether you are fortunate enough to discover little wildlife expressions from Raven Studio, or a character from Alice in Wonderland, or any of their order other larger pieces, you will be thrilled with the quality and lifelike detail. We are particularly fond of their brooches and trinket (whatnot) boxes. The pieces we have been fortunate enough to obtain have all been signed and dated. Most have been created during the 1980's. We have always felt that the wonderful fashion accessories of yesteryear; like hairpins, brooches, sweater clasps, fur clips, shoe buckles, and scarf clasps provide an almost inexhaustible resource of wearable art. Add the flair that might be missing. You don't have to do much to add a little drama or for that matter, a lively bit of fun. This piece is a fine example. It is well done and beautiful.
