Welcome to my website.

I'm Gerda Bursens and I was born in 1947...

I live in Haasdonk, Beveren, Belguim

I've been sculpting dolls for more than 28 years.

 I've started sculpting with papier mache, I once won a price having used this material, since then

I was under a spell of sculpting dolls.

Then I discovered fimo, a polymer clay, this clay helped me

 better than any clay before in sculpting my own fantasy figures.

I also started experimenting with other polymer clays, like prosculpt, which I prefer

During all those years I've teached a lot of sculpting lessons in making fantasy figures.

I create all kind of figures, but phantasy figures such as wizards, trolls, witches and pixies

I enjoy making the most. They make me dream.

How did it all start... The sculpting becomes a passion!

I also write poems, I can find peace in my poems,

and they're also a great inspiration for sculpting my figures.

While you're sculpting, you come in to your own world,

 that only you can feel, a world where the clay comes to live.

It's very addictive, you keep wanting more of this peaceful feeling.

I am also passionate about an old but in no way forgotten television series called

The Beauty and The Beast.   

The poems I write are all transformed into scrapbook .

I find materials and desing on (www.hobbyschuurtje.be)

They are a source of inspiration for those who share interest in working with paper.

I like working with PaintShopPro (PSP).

I am a member of the internet forum www.elise-psp.nl.

Elise tought me everything I know about PSP.

 I used this knowledge to create the website you are visiting at the moment.

The biggest love of my life is my little Chihuahua Pixi,

whose companionship is a blessing to me.

 

 First of all , I would like to thank my son for his dedication and support.

I also would like to thank my good friend Marina

(http://www.mybatbpage.com/homepage.html)

 for her help in the realization of this website.

 

 Without them, this website would not exist.

 

I hope you will have a nice time going through the pages of my website.

Enjoy! Gerda.
