Ok, So this one is not in the basket :)

But at least you can see he's not entirely neglected!

I first posted this dragon WIP in a June 07 entry, he's had a paint job since but it still waiting for a little more detailing, his base & wings. :)

A friendly? Little Goblin..

Well here's the newest little forest creature to visit me. Doesn't he look friendly? :D

He's just a head right now, but I'm excited to work on and finish him. Next up, Hands!
I haven't done hands this size yet or quite like what I have in mind, what fun this will be!

He's considerably smaller than the troll head on an earlier blog entry, but I think (hope) starting smaller will make him less intimidating and then I'll continue working on the big guy.

He's been tickling my muse.. I think she likes him, thank goodness.
It feels good to be creating again. :)

Thanks for visiting!!

A Wonderful Surprise!

Today my Polymer Clay group presented me with an amazing surprise.
The Artist of the Month Award!

The words that were said along with the award brought tears to my eyes...

I am truly honored.

This group is where my polymer journey really began and will always be close to my heart.

Thank you BPCAG! :)

If you're a member, make sure you check out the January newsletter Judy did another outstanding job putting it together. If your not and you are interested in learning to work with polymer there isn't a better place to begin.

Hello! :)

Happy New Year!

Wow, it's been a while. The past few months have been quite busy and then even busier with the holidays but I did manage to finish my little ornaments for my Polymer group Holiday Ornament Swap. Of course, I finished late, but at least i finished! That itself is a step for me. :)

Here they are, I hope you like them.
I do hope to make lots more they were so much fun.

There's A Little Snowman, chuckin a snowball :)

A Gingerbread Cookie

Elfie :)

and A little dragon in the gift box which is full of coal
I made this one for Heather, she had been very naughty!
So he's handing her a piece of it. ;) Front & back view (which is showing up under the Elf)

You can enlarge them by clicking on the pictures, but watch out for that last one, its huge!

Thanks so much for visiting!

Dragon head, WIP.

Hi there :) Thanks for stopping by.

I'm workin on my dragon for marilyn's class. I just finished the head.

The dragon i had visualized was(almost) serpent-like.
When i first had the vision I quickly sketched it so i wouldnt loose it, i just pulled out the sketch and his head turned out pretty much how I envisioned it, what a nice surprise! Please wish me as much luck with the body ;) It's not quite finished but he will need the body attached before i can get to the next part :)

More progress pics to come soon!
Thanks for visiting!

Big hugs

Sphinx :)

Yes! I have finished my Sphinx. :D

This is the third class in the gourd series with Marilyn Radzat being held at Thatcreativeplace.com. This is a BIG gourd. A much bigger scale than I'm used to, no wonder it took so much longer to finish!

She opens and is trinket box, inside is mosaic glass & a velvet pillow.

I'll admit, i have a crush on the little inchworm handles ;)

Thanks so much for coming to visit me!

Big hugs,

Well its been a while since i posted because I dont have that much to show.
I've been making progress but veeerry slooowly... Where does the time go?

I did a little more detailing my slightly larger playful (cat-like) dragon who is just about ready for the oven! ohh and I started another baby dragon! :) These little guys are soo much fun for me!

I will post progress pics, when i am able to make progress ;).
Here they are together, the small one is about 2 inches, and the slightly larger one about 4 1/2.
I am building display scenes for both, i loove "dioramas" ;) Please check back to see their progress.
