My Little Girl and Ladybug Cake Topper

It's 'Show and Tell' today! Here's my newest custom order, created for a little girl's first birthday. The theme for her party is ladybugs. Created entirely from polymer clay, this darling little girl is sitting in the grass surrounded by leaves, vines, and pretty little yellow flowers. There are three sweet little ladybugs visiting her... One in the flowers, another on top of the number one, and she's holding the biggest ladybug of all in her hands. Wearing a pink dress, shoes and bow in her hair, she looks very happy to be turning one year old! The sunny yellow number one beside her is stamped with a floral and vine design to match the flowers and vines on the ground around her. The number one has also been lightly antiqued to bring out all the detail in the design. The piece sits approximately 3 1/2" tall and is on a 3" diameter base.

My Polymer Clay Sailor and Lady Bug Picnic!

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.
