Mermaid Part One

First off the sea background, not embellished with any plant life or sea creatures as of yet.




And now my little mermaid, which I haven't named yet. She needs her hair added and also to be antiqued. Also I suck at hands. Hee.

A thank you

I wanted to thank my customers that took part in my 2 for 1 sale for my vet bills. Thank you so much. Atticus got sick again Friday morning with labored breathing, he's been diagnosed with asthma and spent the night on oxygen. I have him back at home and took off today just to keep an eye on him. It's so hard to see something helpless so sick, and I thank you for all your kinds words.

My next project which I have been itching to do forever is a mermaid wall piece. I have about a dozen or so shadow boxes and I think I'm going to incorporate her in one of them. I hope to post progress pictures too, as I suck at the update.

My little Atticus is sick and I'm having a sale to help with the vet costs. A special offer of buy two get one free. I thank you and Atticus thanks you too!

Covered Tin

People who work with polymer clay always look at things a different way. Can I cover that? Can I poke that design into my clay? Can I mix that into it? It's so versatile that these things always cross your mind. It's become a running joke with friends that I can make anything out of clay.

"Like that wedding dress?"
"Yep, I can do that in clay."

Michaels had their Christmas tins on sale for 50 cents, so I bought a couple to cover and decorate. This is my first one, I quite love the rustic look and the brown and white stripey sides. I left the bottom silver as I liked the look.

Time to take a breather!

After a busy holiday season and a much too long absence I'm back with my first post of the almost New Year. One of my resolutions is try new things with my clay, I have so many books and have had little time to try anything new so I'm going to make sure this year I leave time to play and sculpt.

And my first experiment turned out with these delightful sugar tulips! I also crafted some sweet little daisies with this technique that will be making their way into my store.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

A technique called watercolor or sometimes the torn effect. I made several bookmarks from this and they hold up so well. Won't ever tear or frazzle like paper ones do.

Wake up Cat

Pot O' Gold

Really don't like shiny on sculptures, don't know what possessed me to try it on this one. I wasn't able to keep him because the spray I used wasn't compatible with polymer clay and remained sticky.
