Valentine’s Bug
Happy Valentine's Day! My favorite. :) It's become a bit of a tradition for me to bring a little heart-shaped box of chocolates to each of my coworkers on Valentine's Day. But there's one woman there who really isn't a fan of sweets. Every year when I'm passing out the treats, I'm at a loss

Math Melt-Down
This is what I was staring at for most of the evening, and may I just say….aarrrggghh! Math brought me to my knees tonight, metaphorically speaking–but only just. I'm going to need to hire a tutor. Finding out that math is just as hard as it always has been for me wasn't surprising, but it

Woodsy Windsor Winston the 3rd
Woodsy comes from a long line of Winston's and is very proud of his heritage. He would tell you that the "www" in front of website addresses is really an homage to his family name. :) He let me take these candid portraits during his rounds of the neighborhood trees. Even though he's an owl,

Cloth & Clay Owl
Wellll….I tried making him a Snowy Owl. Then tried purples & blues. But I guess he just wanted to be a more traditional little Barn Owl. :) I'm waiting for the base layers of paint to dry, then I'll add some details and he'll be ready to fly. Or ready to perch rather. Check back

Owl with a Heart
Oh my gosh, I just love this little guy! You probably don't remember since it's been so long, but this is the owl that I started working on way back at the end of June. After I made several of the basic bodies, I kind of got side-tracked working on new paintings & other things.

Clay Hoot-Owl
I set out to make a bluebird in a stocking cap, but an owl came out of the clay instead. I tried to put a hat on him, but he didn't want one. 🙂 I like his little tail feathers. He's baking in the oven now…fingerprints and all! I can easily get caught up in

Mermaid Girl, kinda
She almost looks like she has a fish tale, doesn't she? Must be the color scheme making her look so aquatic. I like that iridescence. I think my favorite detail though is the last thing I added – her cute chubby arms! ♥

Wood & Clay Doll
Have you seen all the cute little wood dolls going around? My favorites (like the ones above from this Etsy shop) are 3.5" tall. There are also 2" dolls, but I think they'd be too tiny to get much detail into. I ordered a few of this larger size thinking they would be a nice,

Hello Dolly!
Look…she's barely off the work table and already out exploring the world. 🙂 I just love how she turned out ~ all barefoot and spring colors. I especially love her skin tone & hair…used my trusty espresso to dye the clay! Can't go wrong with that. Plus, now she smells like coffee. ♥
