Drink Your Big Black Cow and Get Out of Here

Been hummin' that Steely Dan song all day long because of my latest buttah dish.

A Wee Baby Snowman

This tiny snowman measures about 5" tall by about 2.5" wide.  Dad and big brother snowmen are going to new homes, but before they do, I'll photograph the whole family.  Mom's still in production.  I had a lot of fun making holiday mosaics this year.

And starting tomorrow, I'll carry a few of my mosaics in my booth at the River Market Antique Mall.  I have a small display case and it will be fun creating pieces just for the mall.  Here are a couple.  First up, a butter dish in pink with skulls:

And I tried my hand at cutting out a skull.  I love this old medicine bottle - NOT something I recommend since it contains mercury!

Another Butter Dish Brought to You by Scott

My dear, sweet friend, Scott is always thinking of me.  He was out and about recently and sent me a great butter dish that I promptly glued a bunch of shit to.  Thanks, Pumpkin!!

A Proper English Butter Dish

My dear friend, Scott, scored this butter dish at a flea market on a recent trip to Scotland.  The dish is marked "England".  Being English, I felt it needed a proper mosaic coating, so you won't find any cows, or the word "buttah" here.

This Place is a Zoo

Nuff said!




My latest "buttah" dish.




And I snuck in another switch plate.



All on Etsy.

Buttah My Biscuit

My latest mosaic buttah dish.

Boo!!!

I've been swamped with my new booth at the Mission Road Antique Mall. Please check my other blog, Eccentricities, for pics of all that's going on there. I did manage to knock out a few Halloween mosaics today, including this frame.

I love the doll head. Creepy.

And these round brass tags are cool.

Funky bottle.
And another using some great letters I found on Etsy awhile ago.


These small magnets are fun to do.

I make the ghosts and pumpkins from polymer clay.


I'm also getting ready to send a few things to Frank in Los Gatos, California.


I did this birdhouse a long time ago and just needed to reattach the bird at the top. This was one in a series of four I did that were "bird buildings". This is "Blackbird Bachelor Loft, Chicks Welcome".


I included some race cars and Boulevard Beer bottle tops.



And I want to give a special shout out to my friend Becky in Wisconsin. I met Becky on Etsy a couple of years ago and she has family in Kansas City. Every time her brother drives back to KC, Becky loads him down with boxes of treasures for me from a local thrift store where she works, including these great beads that I used today.

And countless really cool cups, dishes, figurines, and sparklies. Thanks for thinking of me, Becky!!!

And I took a few pics in Brookside today while dropping off my mosaics. The Reading Reptile has the greatest window displays!


And we're big fans of Brookside Toy and Science where they have tons of unusual stuff.
