Christmas Bulb Boys

I have to attach the hangers and paint the top nub black but these guys are really coming along nicely!  The green and blue ornaments are 4" tall by 2" wide and the big angry pink guy is 4.75" tall by 2.5" wide.

 I also wanted to experiment with layering clay over old christmas bulbs and came up with this little red guy.  This one is 3" tall by 1.5" wide.  You can see the size difference here and I will add the sealant to this one most likely tomorrow.

 Hope you all enjoy these as much as I have been.  :  )

Ah the joys of overuse!

So I bought some air dry clay and I have been playing with it non-stop. Yesterday I realize my thumb has been super achey on my right hand.  My dominant hand!  Then I noticed that I have some acute swelling in my right forearm!  Awesome!  I thought I would wait it out and see if it goes away but today still there.  So now I have been ordered by my hubby to take a break from clay for a few days and see if that helps the overuse injury!  Ah the things we do for our craft!  So that is where I am right now.  No painting, or sculpting :( for a few days to maybe get this injury healed.  Oh well at least I can spend some time with my attention starved doggie Reeses.

Anyone else ever expierience anything like this? 

Have a good day

Some new stuff and a finished Hagatha

Well gang she is done.  I tried to sculpt her hat and it just looked well rediculous so I decided to sew one.  She is indeed happy with the results.

Alos I am currently working on some figurines for my kids of them in their Halloween costumes.  They are in all stages of sculpting right now and I am attempting to use air dry clay for the first time ever! 

I hope you enjoy them and thanks for stopping by!

Nightmare Before Christmas Ornaments

My favorite characters from that movie definately are Lock, Shock, and Barrel.  As I sat watching this movie this evening I decided I wanted to capture them in clay.  This is my tribute to Tim Burton who's art inspires me everyday!  My 10 year old is an expert in all things Tim Burton and these come with her seal of approval.  "Mommy, these are AWESOME!"  Thanks Kiwi!  Love ya!

Enjoy!  They will be on Etsy tomorrow, the whole set will be listed at $30.00. 

Meet Pierce

Pierce used to be such a sweet baby pumpkin.  Well all that has changed!  He no longer even calls himself a pumpkin.  He now uses the term "PUNKIN".  It all started the first time he hear Marilyn Manson being blared from the speakers of a passing car.  Soon he was wearing guy liner, black lipstick, and wearing one white contact.  Then came the nose piercing and the eyebrow... then he cut his stem into a Mohawk!  Oh Pierce what ever will we do with you?  Oh but I didn't tell you the worst thing he's done.  He came home the other day after some early Halloween shenanigans with a tattoo.  That's right a TATTOO!  on his backside! 

What are we to do with such a rebel punkin?  I know I will offer him up for adoption in the hopes that he will find a family he can relate to.  Thanks for checking out Pierce he was listed on Etsy this morning.
