He's tiny - only about 2.5" tall

A gift I made for a fan, but I really wanted it for myself =)

Here are some little creatures I have been working on. I plan on selling them at a craft fair in December.

He is the oldest snail



My little whales with their funny teeth and barnacles



Manta face - I have some touch ups to do on him...



He is going to be mounted on a board for hanging





She is not a sea creature, she is just a sad little creature

That is all for now!

I've started making jewelry from Sculpey and I'm really enjoying it. Here are some things I recently made...

The bigger one with the dog is a brooch. The other silvery metal looking one is a pin, and the other smaller unpainted ones are earrings.

Ah, you see?

My boyfriend brought home this wonderfully ridiculous chair from his work a few weeks ago:

It was dirty as hell, but quite comfortable! It required some primping so we headed for the fabric store. Here is what it looks like after some much needed reupholstering and spray paint:

[a model or pattern of excellence or of a particular excellence.]

I made this little creature over a year ago for a friend. I also wrote a short story to go along with it. It was called, "Paragon in Bibelot"

His story is a sad one, if you'd like to know it you can read it here: http://fleshmechanics.org/bibelot/

There are also additional photos there too.

I made this little thing from a little bit of clay and some left over wool I had. To me, he looks like a spot of soot from a candle, so that is what I call 'im.

I also made a larger one, that I named Singe, but I like Soot better.

This was my first project using sculpey. Prior to this, I used an awful, awful stinky clay. Unfortunately, I still have pounds of it left.
