Ann Fisher Art Works is the name of my miniature
business and this is my web site. My
husband Larry Fisher also helps me with my miniatures. I'm also know as Ann
Mowry for those of you who knew me at Southern Illinois University (SIU) during my college years, and as Anna
Mae Mowry in Collinsville, Illinois, the town of my childhood. I have put
my maiden name here just in case you are a miniature person that knew me as
child or even when I was an art student at SIU Carbondale back in the
early 1960's. If you are from Caruthersville, Missouri you just may know Larry.
His step dad ran Kasper's Bakery on Ward Avenue for many years. It has been
amazing to me just how many old friends and acquaintances that we have run into
at miniature shows.
This web site was last updated July 22,
2009. At last I have uploaded all of my
photos in all categories. Do check my gallery on CDHM as there are
often items there that I have not ever been listed on this web site. Most
new food pieces will be listed on CDHM first.
I think that you will enjoy looking at my large selection of foods. I
also have a collection of toys which includes bears, bunnies, cats and other
animals dressed in a variety of clothing all made of polymer clays. If you are a
big Raggedy fan, I think that you will enjoy the family of Raggedy Ann
characters that I make. If your favorite Raggedy character isn't listed just ask
me to create one for you. All of my miniature pieces are meant for adult
collectors and should never be given to small children as toys. Most of my
animals contain wires that work to support the figures while the clay is baking
and to make them more stable after baking.
At present I don't have photos for all of the items listed on the price lists. If there is an item that you want to order but are not certain if you will like it ask me about it. I would be more than happy to make up an item and send you a photo of it and a price on email. If it isn't what you want you do not have to buy it.
When we do shows, you can always count on seeing my husband Larry behind our sales table. If you come to our table at the right time you might find me there as well. Since I enjoy shopping and visiting with customers and fellow miniature artists at the shows; my dear heart ends up holding down the fort most of the time.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my miniature site. Be certain to bookmark us and check back often to see what's new.
This is my AOL address amfisher01@aol.com and this is my new address at my new web site Ann@AnnFisherArtWorks.com

| This is the main work table in my studio. I do all of the modeling, painting, and assembling of the finished pieces at this table. I have additional tables that I use for mixing and rolling clay. My work table is rarely this clean. | This is Tigger; he used to be the head clay warmer. My cat helpers take turns soaking up heat from the lamp and transferring the warmth to the clay. All of my clay is stored in plastic zip-lock bags, to keep the clay as fur-free as possible. Sadly, our Tigger passed away on Feb. 28, 2001. | Hi, I am Ann Fisher and this is my web site. I am the miniature artist behind the work that you will be looking at on these pages. I hope that you enjoy your visit. If I can answer any questions for you please feel free to email me at amfisher01@aol.com |

| Meet Fred and Woody. They are on the clay warming team. In this picture they are taking a well deserved rest. All of that clay warming can really wear a cat out! Sorry to tell you Woody passed away on Election Day 2008. I have never met a sweeter animal than Woody. | Here is a picture of the guys bird watching. | This is Tudy; she is now the head clay warmer. Tudy spends most of her time in my miniature studio, so she thinks that she is in charge. We have installed a bird feeder just outside the second story studio window. The cats seem to enjoy watching the birds while they are warming the clay. Could a cat's life be any better! |

A Little Something About My Work
I use Fimo, Cernit, and Sculpey polymer
clays to create my miniatures. I also use a variety of paints, stains,
paper, wood, yarn, beads, and fabrics to create the look that I am trying to
achieve. It has been very hard for me to limit myself to just a few areas
of the miniature world. I love trying new materials and techniques.
Many of my food items reflect the food I grew up eating. The
roll setup, the baked ham, and the pot roast look just like my Mom's. The pies,
pineapple upside down cake, and biscuits are my Daddy's The food line is
ever growing. Many of the items that I make are not pictured and are sometimes
not even on the price list. If there is something that you are looking
for, please ask, because who knows, I may already make it or am developing it.
I will be branching out to create dishes that Larry and I now cook in our "real"
kitchen. I will be adding fish and veggie dishes to reflect how a
lot of us are eating these days. I will also be adding interesting desserts to
my food line.
I will continue to make the Raggedys and will be adding
more of the family of characters. I collect Raggedy books and other
memorabilia, so it isn't as if I will run out of ideas anytime soon. I
will continue to create the toy sized bears, bunnies, cats, and other animals
that many of you have been collecting for a number of years. If you have a
special request in the bears, bunnies and cats line, please feel free to write
or call me.
I have loved all of the dogs and cats that have passed though our
home over the years; so making miniatures of them seems to be a natural thing to
do. I will be adding miniature pets to my line of miniatures in the near
future. My plans also include creating a line of wreaths, small floral
arrangements, and other decorative accessories for the doll house.

Shipping and Packing
I usually ship orders USPS PRIORITY MAIL; unless you ask for some

weight of the package and the distance that it has to go. You may send a list of
the items that you are interested in purchasing with your zip code, and I will
let you know what the cost would be. Minimum shipping and packing
charges for a single item is $3.75 that is shipped first class mail. Sometime
two items can be shipped in this smaller package. When there are a number of items
in the
order the cost is usually around $6.75. This charge includes confirmation of
shipment and packing materials as well as PRIORITY MAIL.
The package should be insured; as I will not replace or make refunds for
packages that are lost or damaged in the mail if the package wasn't insured.
