Flower Pots

Winter time is always fun for me to wind down and try out new things.

I have been collecting forms to cover with clay since I started about 8 years ago and I am looking at this huge pile of "stuff" to one day cover in clay. Well, today is the day.
These are little wood pumpkin boxes. After I got a hold of them my girls thought they should be called "flower pots".

Great for holding life's little treasures.

Vintage Treasures

I am in trouble again. Add vintage brass and findings to my new list of addictions. I cannot stop looking, (and buying) all of that splendid treasure from the past. My supply cupboard has spilled out onto the work table and I feel as though I have raided the royal coffers. Lovin it!

The Sugar Plum Fairy

This is an invitation for the Sugar Plum Fairy.

New Holiday Fairy Portals in my etsy shop.

Keepsake Box

I have been very busy at the market. Thanks to all of you who come by to shop or just say hi. It is great to see old friends and meet new ones.

This is a little experiment that turned out rather nice. I might make a few adjustments and then make some to sell.

I just need more time in the day!

Market starts tomorrow. Yikes!

I am excited to see all of our Market friends.

Been working on some non-jewelry
items for the market. This is a slide top tin.

These are great fun to make. I finally get to use all of those rubber stamps I've bought over the years.

Getting ready...

It is almost market season and that means U of U fans. I'm getting ready.

Card Keeper

I was inspired by Sue Heaser's new book "Encyclopedia of Polymer Clay Techniques." Fun stuff in there.

Halloween

It's OCTOBER! Love it!

"I heard the dogs howl in the moonlight;

I went to the window to see the sight;

All the Dead that I ever knew

Going one by one and two by two."

-William Allingham,Bard of Donegal

Fall

Fall is approaching even though I am resisting.

Sunflowers everywhere.

FAERIE PORTALS

Be a good neighbor and welcome the fairies into your home with these little doors. Only "good" fairies are allowed in through the door. This includes the Tooth Fairy and good natured pixies.

Vacation

I returned from visiting the BEAUTIFUL Oregon coast and was pleasantly surprised by my work being posted on two of my favorite websites.

Nouveau Card Keeper

This is going to keep my business cards.

Art Nouveau Pendants

Art Nouveau was popular in 1880-1914 and consisted of stylized, flowing designs that often incorporated floral and plant inspired motifs. It has always been one of my favorite art movements and these conjured up that feeling. I will be adding some to my store.
