Blue Moon for a friend

A friend did a really nice and helpful thing for my family. She loves moons and suns so I'm making this "Blue Moon" sculpture for her. You can sorta see my aceo of the moon I did awhile back and that's what I'm using as a reference .... kinda. My hubby took the base to work to try and find a screw for me to use so I can attach the dowel to the base and then finish sculpting the base. Once that's done I'll paint it and then take it over to my friend. Sure hope she likes it.


It's sculpted in polymer clay and you can see that it's going to be a really nice size sculpture.

At 4:30 this morning I was in the mood to create. I wanted to try something that wasn't creepy or spooky. I sent a picture of my new pendant to my daughter so she could give me an idea for a name and her boyfriend took one look at it and said "Witches Willow" Sigh, guess my dark muse was having her way this morning. I still like it though.

Size: 1 1/2" tall x 1 3/4" wide
polymer clay, acrylic paint and mica

Another Heart pendant

Okay, so my dark, creepy muse keeps popping out and getting into my work. It's fun to see where this muse is taking me, (although I don't want her to know that).

The title of this piece is "Love Bites". You can take that to mean whatever you want .... lol ..... I have no control over the things that crazy little muse pops into my head.

Heart Pendant "Captured"

I'm interested in creating a whole series of heart pendants. This is my first.

The heart is sculpted in polymer clay with a real fresh water pearl that's been "captured" with copper wire. The bail is also handmade with copper wire. I've painted thin strips of gold with a polymer paint that I make myself. It adds a bit of texture to the heart. I really liked the look so I'll use this technique again on future pieces. It's size is : 2 inches long x 1 1/2 inches at it's widest point.

Zombie stitch markers

After a long, unproductive break I'm back to creating again. My art seems to be turning darker these days so I've decided to go with the flow and see what this darker muse inspires me to create. Here's the first of what I hope will be many steps along this darker path.

Red Skulls hair barrette

Something new for halloween. I sculpted the barrette from polymer clay and then finished with a polyuretane finish to protect it.
Size: 3 1/4" long x 1" wide

Grapes II

I made these barrel beads one day, just to see if I could do a new technique. The beads turned out nice but where just so plain. They sat on my work table for a few weeks and every time I looked at them I just could not figure out what to do with them. Well one night while drifting off to lala land I suddenly had these images of my beads with sculpted flowers and leaves and grapes. Next morning I went to work on a few and this necklace is the result from those dream-like images that float around in my head late at night.

Potter's Shards pendants

I wanted to create something that conveys hope so I sculpted broken potters shards with life blooming from the broken pieces. Both have real fresh water pearls in the centers of the flowers.
