Renaissance Necklace

I constructed these from old renaissance paintings that are copyright free. They measure about 1 1/4" diameter. I am opening an Etsy shop and will post that information when they are listed.

Snowy Kansas

Looking out towards my studio all you can see is white fluffy snow!
It's pretty, but enough already!

Father Christmas



Finally, I've finished my new life sized Father Christmas! He was a challenge because he didn't want to go on my vintage mannequin. I had to make lots of adjustments and drill out a lot inside his neck and head. I put lots of age spots on him.

Fall Arrangement


New fall arrangement that I completed this morning. I've had the antique iron planter for about 10 yrs. I built up in inside with newspaper and books so I would have somewhere to put the candle. Everything is artificial. I purchased most of it at Michael's on sale.

Scarf


Just finished making this scarf. It is all hand dyed. I used a vintage table cloth & trim. I attached hooks to both ends and thought it would be fun to change out keys, charms, etc.

1957 Camper/Trailer

Ok, my friends and some of my family think I have lost my mind this time! I bought this old camper on Ebay to fix up. I will park it out by our lake for an extension to my studio space. Think gypsy caravan meets the Beverly Hillbillies. Ha! I will be taking pictures as the work progresses. The first thing is to get it so it doesn't leak! Any color suggestions for the outside? I'm thinking maybe just a taupe color with some swirls & curling q's in a shade darker. What do you think?

Santa Head

This is my new Santa head. He is just in the beginning stages. I've finished sculpting. Next step, after curing, will be make up, hair, etc. Then comes the body. I still have to sculpt the hands. He's kind of freaky looking right now!
