Thinking Aheart...errr....Ahead!

I am so tired of the snow and cold. Then I was thinking, "Oh well, soon it will be Jan., then Feb, etc...and they will be here before you know it. Then, I got inspired by looking at CF"s new book when i saw these funny face hearts she had made. So I decided to make some of my own, and naturally I have to be anal and try and sculpt real looking faces on them. I really need to work on just letting go and be more free with my claying so things can be more whimsical looking. I think these are a bit creepy as far as hearts go, but I like creepy, after all, who else decorates for X-mas with a black tree and a santa skull on the mantle?????

Ch, Ch, Ch, Channges...and chilly....

Well, it snowed here yesterday, and was about 28 degrees. Today the weatherman is claiming we are going to have a major jump in the temperature to the mid 50's. So I thought I would post a picture of this little snowcat before he melts away! (not really, he is another polymer creation in the Kool Katz line!). He is for sale on my ebay shop if you follow this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=230313236182

Meowy Christmas.....

It sure has been a while since I have been to my blog! Actually, I do visit it, thinking it automatically updates itself! Anyhow, I have not been in much of a claying mood lately, but when I did get my mojo back, I decided to add some Hoiliday Kool Katz to the Kool Kritterz line! Here are just a few ideas I came up with. I also am now incliding an adoption certificate with each one that is signed and numbered and packaging them in little pet tote boxes for shipping to their new owners!

Beaded Beauty! (to me anyway)

I set up at a bead show this past weekend. I made 52 Day of the Dead skull beads, and only 3 sold! Hello people! These are all the rage now and so I decided to take out my beads and make a couple of necklaces with them. I then proceeded to list them in auctions on ebay to see if the rest of the world is up on this trend! I hope they are or I will have to wallpaper a room with the leftover skulls! Anyway, I like them and think they are cuties! Hope you do too!

New creations in the studio!

It has been a while since I posted, but it is almost here....Halloween! I have been feverishly trying to make up a skull design for some beads. Then I thought to myself, I said "Self, why not try and make some of you favorites!!! Day of the Dead skulls". So, after repeated tries at different ways to create them in Polymer clay, these little guys are what I came up with. Another addition is more of the Kool Katz, these are the Trick-or-Treaters! They are all part of the Kool Kritterz line that I developed. I have also added some Kool Kidz to go gather up some spookie goodies! Enjoy them!

My Favorite Time....

My favorite time of the year is getting closer and I have been focusing on all kinds of creations to make! I love the color pallette of this time of year and can sit and stare aimlessly at the changing leaves, all the while memorizing colors I want to blend with my clay! Here is a "little devil" to start the mischief of the halloween season. I call him Diablo!

A Pair of Puppies!!

I had a custom order for these 2 cuties. It is to be an anniversary gift for her husband. I wanted to keep them they were so cute when I finnished! She ended up liking them so much that she ordered another set for his office! now that panic is setting in to be able to make them look as close to each other as I can! Wish me luck.
