Go Ask Alice

I went to Denver last week and came home with a bunch of custom orders. This frame was a blast to make.

It's for a baby who will born in September. Her father is a bit of an Alice in Wonderland fan and her name will be Alice Carroll after the book and the author, Lewis Carroll. Awesome!

So thrilled I got to make this piece! My initial vision didn't come together like I thought it would, but this was perfect - I wanted it to look like it was tumbling down a hole.

This represents the potion Alice sipped on that changed her size.

White rabbit, duh!
Gotta have some mushrooms.

Tweet

Just put the finishing touches on a birdhouse that will soon be on its way to Scottsdale.

Pennies for the roof and I got the cool brass finial recently on a flea market trip.

Plastic brooch.

And of course, lots and lots of broken dishes!

Tiny, Rusty Tins

I love all things miniature. I also love rusty tins. Put the two together and I'm really happy. Check out the tiny, rusty tins used as focal pieces in my latest mosaic belt buckles.

Less Than Serious . . .

If you're in the market for some serious, stuffy art, you're in the wrong place . . .

More Mosaic Belt Buckles

More mosaic belt buckles I'll pack up today and send to Frank, the great little shop that sells my stuff in Los Gatos, California. This one is made with a tiny bottle filled with who knows what.

This one features a glow in the dark saint that I picked up on my recent trip to Jerome, Arizona.

Funky fuse box.

And a custom Captain Jack Sparrow skull sans braids going to San Mateo, California - me likie.

Can I Get A WOOF?!

I wanted to make something special for Scott and Jeff to thank them for hosting my fabulous visit to Arizona. I decided when I was there on a frame - now, if I could only get Connor and Kayla to sit still long enough for a picture. Scott had to help.

An understated "woof".

Complete with dog bones, paws, and a fire hydrant of polymer clay.
