Sebille, The Spring Fairy

Sebille has been very busy. There's so much to do for a little Fairy during the Spring. So many new flower buds needing to be opened, so many trees that need to wake up again...

Lil' Mizjah

With a face only a troll mother could love, this little guy will find his way into your heart like he found his way into my clay. I was planning on making a human baby, but as the clay came to shape, I sort of started to fall for this little troll baby. Most everyone's reaction has been "Ewww... actually that is pretty cute in an ugly sort of way!"
Don't worry, Mizjah has thick skin, but whoever adopts him better not have any pets, I noticed he has a tooth coming in!

Dear Jane Letter...

Here is my latest recycled wine cork doll.
Her name is Jane. She just got a letter from her boyfriend that reads, "I'm sorry, it's not you, it's me..."


Her body is a recycled wine cork. The rest is Polymer clay, some yarn, and old wrapping paper. Her headband is from a clothing tag and an old crystal from the junk jewelry drawer.

Meet The Mills

Here is my first custom cake topper. This is more of a gift to celebrate 22 years of marriage between my lovely friends, Mark and Suzy Mills. It was also great practice! http://www.dreamingviola.etsy.com

Here is the original (I stole it from Suzy's flickr)

And their clay characters

Now for sale!

I'm selling my wedding cake toppers online now. I can either sell the ones I have already made or I can take custom orders and create a topper that looks like the happy couple. These would also be great for anniversary parties or birthday cakes.

Happy Birthday Mr President...

OK, two things happened. First, I realized that I put Marilyn's mole on the wrong side, so I fixed that. Then, I thought she looked lonesome, so I made her a John Kennedy of her very own! Here he is with a tiny champagne glass being serenaded by Miss Monroe.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend...

Here are today's installments of "Things I made on my days off from work"

Spirit in the bottle.

Here are more wine spirits in better detail. (I took the photos with my fancy new camera!)


The idea is, that every bottle has a different personality or spirit. That is why each of these are a little different.

Back detail:

Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand...

I just finished this little recycled doll project I've been working on.
Here are a few pictures of her.

This is just before I made her dress:

I call her, Tiny Dancer.

She is made of Polymer clay, a wine cork for her body and her dress is leftover wrapping paper that was sprayed and molded into a skirt and hat.

"Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand..."
