In the works...

Here are a few of my latest projects. These along with lots and lots of new goodies will be in my Etsy shop around the end of the month. 


I'm in love with this little jar, I had some left over clay from a larger project and this happened.

I'll have several carved vases as well


And this is my 2nd needle felting project. A spur of the moment idea while on a car trip. She took me about 3 hours. This picture doesn't do her justice, she's adorable.

Little birdy

Just for the pure hell of it, I taught myself how to needle felt today. 
This was my first attempt ever.

 I did manage to stab my finger pretty good while making this little guy.

Juicers

Juicers may be my new favorite thing to make. I made these in a larger size and a smaller size and I made several different kinds of handles for them. I like the idea of a lug type handle instead of a traditional type handle like you would see on a coffee mug I'm still tweaking handles to see exactly what I like the best. Overall a fun thing to make.
One of my customers was sweet enough to take a picture of one of my pigs, this is actually the only sugar bowl pig I've made. I should do more, they are pretty cute. This is made with a vintage piggy bank mold. Instead of cutting the slot for the coins or a hole for the stopper he became a container. Cute eh?
And here is my funny for the day, I found this online somewhere. Kinda reminds me of the mouse I had living in my studio last year.
