Another LONG while!

Okay...so I said I was going to try to stay on top of the blog...but I gotta tell you...WHEW! It is hard! Trying to do everything! Its a LOT. But I have been working and I have some pics to update with! Here we go....

First up...the toucans. I made a mini series of these cute little guys. Don't really know where exactly they came from...I just one and then it continued. I really enjoyed making them and may even make more on down the road. But I just loved them! They each have their own personality. I hope that all three are enjoying their new home with the collector in Dripping Springs, TX.



My next project was a realistic but still whimsical looking black bear. My whimsical bears in the store in Pigeon Forge really go over well...so I thought about making one a bit more realistic. He turned out good. I just wish that I had just went ahead and made him totally realistic, rather than in between. But it didn't seem to bother someone. Within 2 days of being on the shelf in Pigeon Forge...he was bought and headed to a new home!

Ahhaa..my eagle. This was a gift for my Dad. We are Cherokee Indian and my Dad's totem is the eagle. So it is very special to him. So I wanted to make him a special sculpture. This of course was not the finished picture. I didn't take a pic of the final product as I was so excited for him to get it. He was very pleased with it. I hope that you like it Dad and I love you!
I did this special painting for a very sweet woman, Sammie, in South Carolina. She LOVES lighthouses. She had asked if I would paint her something on her glass...but I think she was totally surprised with the outcome! She loved it and it really looked awesome! The pic doesn't do it justice at all! Enjoy Sammie!

This is a small scare Hyacinth Macaw. Most of my parrots are much larger than this...but I wanted to make a smaller one. I didn't skip on the detail on this one. And he was just sold on Ebay and is now off to his new home!

Meet "Ade", an adorable little fairy sculpt that I had made several months back and just now finished. For such a small scale...she had a lot of detail. After an auction on Ebay...she is now residing in Carver, MN.

I TOTALLY loved this little guy! He was soooo adorable! I just had in my head one day to do a cute whimsical mushroom...and then he came out! EVERYONE loved him! And after a bidding war on Ebay...he now is living in Northridge, CA.

Meet "Faylinn". She is a special little sculpt. I had made her months before as I had done with the other fairy and just sat her aside. I wanted to make her really special. So one day I come across a beautiful Painted Lady butterfly who had meet its doom. I hated to see such a beautiful creature wasted like that. Then it hit me! I used the wings from the butterfly and put them on Faylinn. They matched her perfectly! I put a protective coating over them so they wouldn't break or tatter...added some little details...and POOF...there was Faylinn! What a little darling!
One of my largest sculpts in quite a while....Otie. A life-sized French Bulldog for my cousin, Linda. She adores her little Otie so much and asked me to make his likeness from clay. After a few mishaps...he finally came around! She was thrilled! I hope he and his real self get along well! Thanks Linda! Enjoy! :-)So that is it for now! Keep posted as I will update as things are done! :-)
