For the month of June, the Polymer Clay Enthusiasts Team on Etsy (PCETeam) presented two 'Stretch Yourself' Challenges. The first is to create something Patriotic and the second is to create something to do with a Picnic, both in honor of the summer months and upcoming holidays. The first of my little creations for the team challenge combined the two... It's A Lady Bug Picnic! :) You can click on the images to see the listings in my Etsy Shop.
All dressed up in their 4th of July finest, these two little Lady Bugs are enjoying a picnic on their blanket in the grass. With the tiny basket of fruit for them to munch on, and three yellow roses that he picked for her, they are having a happy day!
Next, here's my little Sailor! My Grandfather served in the Navy during WWII. Through the years he shared many stories with us about his time in the Military. I was thinking of him while I created this little figurine. Saluting proudly, this figurine/cake topper stands approximately 3 1/2" tall on a 2" base.

Both of your creations are awesome, but that little sailor captures my heart.
ReplyDeleteAs always so sweet and well crafted. That Navy guy especially stole my heart and how special to have been inspired by your grandfather!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mom! I was so happy at how they both turned out! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Anita!! That little Navy guy was such fun to create and I love his little expression. I'm so glad to know you like him! I was very pleased with how he and the lady bugs turned out.
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful Trina, I especially love the little sailor. My Daddy was a sailor in WW2.
