I've been playing with clay and glitter and here are a few of the end results. All done in paperclay and ready to come decorate your home for the holidays!

Snowman ornament video

I've been wanting to put together a video of a few of my snowman ornaments and I finally got it done. I really do like making videos, the only part that is hard is finding music that's free to use. So many sites out there have royalty free music, or so they tell you in big bold letters but when you look at their fine print it's not free at all. I did come across a few composers that do offer free music, as long as you give them credit and a link to their sites on your video. I am more than happy to do that for them.

Here's the link on my Youtube channel. If you like it would you mind giving me a thumbs up. I'd also like to know what you think of it so if you'd like a message on my video would be great! Thanks for looking at it.

Snowman candy bowl

I just listed my newest creation on ebay, actually the first new piece for 2011. Okay, I know I'm slow but hey, at least I'm back in the studio! I've decided that no matter what craziness is going on about here I can go into my studio, close the door and immerse myself in a creative coma!

Here's my Jolly Snowman candy bowl.

Who loves a clown?

I've kinda been stuck in this snowman mood and that seems to be all I've made lately but I think this is going to be the last one for awhile. I've got weird and whacky and kinda cute bunnies in my head and a scarecrow begging to be finished ..... lol poor guy.

This is "Bluebird". I'm not that crazy about clowns but it's what this snowman wanted to be so there ya go, the art wins out again.





I used more of that yummy ribbon my Mom and I found after Christmas. I just love the stuff and can now understand why so many of you use it as well.

Okay, back to work. If I don't start working on that scarecrow he's gonna ...... shutter .......
SOLD ... Thank you Paul!

Dancing in the snow

Although I have been known to dance in the snow this time it isn't me. :) Presenting "Winter's Dance", my newest snowperson figurine.







The tutu is made with some of that wonderful wire ribbon my mom and I found after the holidays. I bought rolls and rolls of lots of different colors and patterns and you'll be seeing it showing up in more of my art. I think it adds so much to the figurine and I love working with it. Thank you Mom for dragging me shopping that day!

Her crown was made from beads I found one weekend at a garage sale. I even got the little crytals there as well. People have no idea what they sometimes just give away at garage sales and I bet some of you are like me, always thinking "What can I turn that into......" lol.

Snowman - You Melt my Heart

Even a snowman needs love and when it happens his heart just melts.

My newest sculpture is a paperclay cutie! I used another one of those wonderful glass icicles I had made. I'm going to have to order more of those cause I like them soooooo much and they're fun to create with.

Hope you all enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Melting Heart pendant

Just finished a few heart pendants. This is the only one I got a half decent picture of. Hubby was using my camera the other day to take pictures of the snow in our yard and he changed a few settings. Lol, now I have to remember how I had it set up. Oh well ..... such is married life!



It's polymer clay with sterling silver wire for hanging. The little ice crystal is a real glass bead that I have custom made to use in my art. They are the cutest things and I love working with them.

Let it Snow! ornament

I just love the expression on his face, so content and happy with the new snowfall. I had some custom glass icicles made for me to add to my sculptures and I think this one looks wonderful hanging from his nose.



This will be my last ornament for this Christmas. I'm getting on a jet on Monday to fly to my folks for Christmas and New Years and Mom and I will be baking up a storm so I'll be too busy playing in flour with no time to play in clay. I will bring a sketch pad though, just so I don't lose what's left of my mind. I already have new designs swirling around in my mind and if I don't get them down on paper I'm pretty sure I'll drive my folks bananas and that really is the last thing I want to do. Mom may be much shorter than me but she can still put me in my place ... lol

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you! May you and yours share goods times, love, laughter and an extra slice of pie!

Snowman with cardinal all snug in his hat.

This is my favorite snowman ornament so far. It's really going to be hard to send this one on it's way when it sells.

Snowman ornament.

I'm on a roll today. I just finished this snowman ornament. This one even got a comment from my often quiet hubbahubby. He likes the detail on the hat, said it looks like real knit. Love that man! He does love my art but admits he's no artist so mostly I get, "That's nice" When he picks out a detail it just about knocks me over.

It's sculpted in paperclay, is about 4" tall with wire. Can any of you tell I'm getting hooked on paperclay? I call this one "Fa La La"

New Snowman and Cardinal ornament

Just finished my newest snowman ornament late last night. I just love the way it turned out. It's going to be hard to let this one go. My hubbahubby loves cardinals and I love snowman, it's what inspired me to start making these. Everytime I make a new one I just want to tuck it into our collection. But I know in my heart I was creating it for someone else.

Snowman and Cardinal ornament

Sometimes things just all come together and you feel all is right with the world. That's how I feel about this Snowman ornament I just finished. It just all came together, no fuss, no muss and I'm a very satisfied artist right now.



Everytime I look at him he makes me giggle.

SOLD and on it's way to it's new home (waves byebye)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

I just finished 2 new snowman ornaments. They're both sculpted in paper clay and then painted with arcylics and protected with a polycrylic finish. The one with the tophat is sporting real cranberry pearls on his hat. I think they make perfect holy berries, don't you?



You can find these in my Etsy shop

Hmmmm, I'm thinking I need to update my blog design to match the season or at least change the music ... lol

Feeling a bit like Winter

It's been much colder in the morning this last week and although I know Halloween is still a few days away I'm starting to feel a bit wintery. So I've started working on a few winter themed creations while finishing up a few spooky pieces. I'll still be creating the creepy stuff during the year but Christmas is starting to tug at me now.

Here's my newest pendant, "Winter Nap" Okay, I know it's not Christmas but it's snowy and it's got a polar bear and Santa loves polar bears and that's my story so I'm sticking with it! :)
