Hummingbird Sculpture

I haven't done one of these in quite some time. Sculptures like this used to be one of my biggest sellers before I started doing the custom orders. But I had a little hummer...just hanging around just needing a home. So two hours later including sculpting and painting...I have a complete sculpture. I think he turned out really well. And obviously someone else thought so also! Within 5 minutes of being posted...he was bought!

This little guys is going to a very special person whom I feel blessed to have met...who's mother, who passed away, LOVED hummingbirds! So thank you Judy! I hope this little guy enjoys his new home in Highland Mills, NY!

Hummingbird Pendant and Earrings

Etsy has been going like WILDFIRE here lately! I am excited! And this listing was to a WONDERFUL person who started out as my first collector, who LOVES my hummingbirds, that has grown to be a very dear friend of mine!

These little guys Went to Jenny in Pioneer, Ohio! Thank you Jenny! I know you will take good care of these guys! Thanks for being so wonderful! Love ya!

Proposal Piece

So it was getting crunch time with my pregnancy when I was contacted to do a piece. I explained I wasn't doing anymore orders due to having so many complications with my pregnancy. Then he explained what he wanted and why. He wanted a sculpture to use in his marriage proposal to his girlfriend! How in the heck do you say no to that?!! Well, I couldn't say no. So we talked about what he wanted. He loves polar bears and she loves penguins...so we had to have the polar bear proposing to the penguin. After working on it for a couple of weeks...I finally made his idea a reality! Here are the pics....

This turned out so well...I was even impressed with myself! So I carefully packaged it up and shipped it to Reno, NV on 6/25 at 11:54 am....and 24 hours and 18 minutes later....I had my son! Talk about cutting close! Thank you Eric for choosing me for such a special piece! I know she will say yes! Enjoy!

Calypso

This sculpture was for a very sweet woman. She was a pleasure to work with through the whole process and was very understanding with my situation. She was getting the sculpture done for her mother who had lost her dear dog Calypso.The dog turned out perfect and she and her mother couldn't have been more happier!

Calypso made his way to Reynoldsburg, Ohio safe and sound. This is what she had to say...

"OH MY GOD! The sculpture is AMAZING! Its alot bigger than i imagined and the pictures just didnt do it justice..I am SOOOO impressed. We got it about a week ago i just hadnt found the time to e-mail you. Seriously it is amazing. My mom cried..she thinks it looks so much like him that she misses him now. Definitely the best gift shes ever gotten. I will definitely be using your services again. Thankyou soooooo much!"

Thank YOU Melissa! I enjoyed working with you and making such a special gift for your mom! I hope she enjoys it for years to come!

Basil

This order come via my website by a woman who lives internationally. She has a very handsome Golden Retriever named Basil. I had never seen a white colored Golden before. He is just adorable! Most of my sculptures are around 6 inches...but she wanted a larger sculpture. So the sculpt itself ended up being 14 inches long and 13 inches wide! A large sculpt indeed!

The Real Basil

Sculpted Basil







Basil is headed to Halifax, West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom as a gift for the customer, Susan's, husband. Thank you Susan...he was a joy to sculpt and I think he turned out really well! I hope that your husband loves him and that it is the highlight of his birthday!

Red-eyed Tree Frog

Okay...so my frogs have always been a HUGE hit and I love to make them. Well, this order came from Etsy where the customer didn't know exactly what color she wanted the frog. Well, I have done several different colored ones...but never did a Red-Eyed Tree Frog. I have always wanted to...but had never done it. So I suggested, she agreed, and here is the final product....




He turned out so cool! I hated to see him leave! I may have to end up making myself one! hehe! But this little guy is headed to Bronx, NY as a gift for the customer's daughter. Thank you Kathy! This was so much fun and I hope your daughter loves him!

Guinea Pigs and Hamsters

This order come via Etsy and was a first for me. Guinea Pigs and Hamsters! What fun these little guys were! So check them out...






These adorable creatures now live in Morganton, NC with a wonderful woman named Mariedy whom I had the pleasure to meet in person. With what I do...I don't get to meet many customers face to face. But when I do get to meet someone in person...it totally makes my day. I love watching their faces as I unveil the sculpture. So thank you Mariedy...it was such a pleasure and I am glad to have made a new friend! :-)

Wedding Cake Toppers

The person who ordered these, is a returning customer. She is a wedding planner. She sent me a pic of an idea she had for cake toppers. Because of her location...these were perfect! Great idea for a couple who's name and date would go into the heart. There were two different ones...one with just the stump and flowers and the other one with an added White-tail deer.





So now these are being sold in Hilham, TN by Ms. Iris. Thank you Iris! These were a lot of fun to make and I hope that we sell more of them!

Charlie the Jumping Show Horse

This was a very long process in making this order. I have never made one with such complexity. But the results were outstanding! I have always loved horses all my life. I used to draw them non-stop. One day someone told me that I would never make a living from drawing horses....and you know what? They were right! So I will sculpt them! hehehe!
So meet Charlie and his owner/rider Mike....
