White Deer Head, Don't Mind if I Do

I designed this shape and have cut it out of plywood about six times now.  It's about 21" tall by about 9.25" at the widest point.  It's $128 and going to the Designer Showhouse in KC on 4/16.  Please contact me before then if you are interested in purchasing.



Antique ceramic house number.




I'm a Little Teapot

This little teapot is going to the boutique at the 44th Annual Designer's Showhouse in Kansas City on April 16th.  Price is $68, so please email me at curiousgirl525 AT yahoo DOT com if you're interested in purchasing before it goes. 


 This vintage sparkly brooch is just the touch it needed.


Beads along the bottom that my dear friend, Mamacita, gave me!!

C is for Caroline . . .

This is a very special custom job for a girl named Caroline.  Her favorite color is purple - obviously!


 Her mom gave me this great purple Buddha to include.


Her mom also told me that Caroline loves math and science.  She means the world to her parents, and Mom wanted me to include something to convey that.  I consulted with a PhD chemist friend of mine and decided on the word Carbon.  Carbon is the only common element starting with C. Everything organic has carbon in it. Without carbon, there is no life.  Compressed carbon results eventually in diamonds.  Carbon is one of the elements in sugar.  A very meaningful and science-related sentiment!


Sand dollar.

Sea shells.


A fish because Caroline loves to swim.


She loves dogs!


Shark teeth Mom gave me to include.  I set them in heart shaped resin so they'll last forever.


A horse to represent the family's heritage.


 This was a fun one and can only be for Caroline!!

Mosaic Sunflower

I just finished this large sunflower - about 22" tall.  I'm working on my Designer Show House pieces this week, but soon, I'll be making some giant cherries.  More fun kitchen art!

R House

My latest custom letter is for a soon to be newly wed couple who love their black lab mix puppy. 

 
Amico!



I've watched three seasons of Downton Abbey in less than a week, so maybe I'm feeling a little more sentimental than usual, but I love the idea of a newly wed couple building their home and life together, so I included this dish.


And this one.





I hope my customer's daughter enjoys this R as much as I enjoyed making it!

Another Giant Veggie

I had asked Facebook followers awhile back to suggest more giant veggies.  My sister-in-law and my buddy, Elle, wanted to see an eggplant.  This one measures about 20" tall by 10" at the widest point.  Eggplant parm, anyone?  You can like my Facebook page HERE.  Next up, a giant pea pod.  Let me know if you'd like to see a giant veggie in mosaic form.
