“Luck? I don’t know
anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people
who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work — and realizing what is
opportunity and what isn’t.”
– Lucille Ball
Metal Mama I – 8″ Metal Art
This is the little metal lady I made for my mom. This is my first
one and it’s a little spooky, but I liked using that weird pendant for
her head. No time to add hair, but that’s okay. The next one I make
will be even stranger, I imagine.
About Lucille Ball
Lucille Ball, the beloved redheaded comedian, was born in 1911 in New
York. She enrolled in drama school — where she was told she had no
acting talent, so she became a model. That career led to her discovery
by Hollywood. Ball and her bandleader husband,
Desi Arnaz,
pitched a sitcom to CBS, which refused it, but they went on the road
with it as a vaudeville act. The act — about a ditzy housewife and her
bandleader husband — was a success, as was the ensuing TV show,
I Love Lucy. The show made TV history when Lucy’s sitcom character was pregnant on the air. She died in 1989.
