Awesome!

As I sit here this morning, enjoying a nice cup of hot coffee, I'm looking out our big picture window in the living room... I hear the birds chirping, and with my eyes closed, it kind of sounds like spring outside, but I open them and there it is, SNOW on the ground!!  Yes, that's right, a few inches of newly fallen snow this morning... Spring... I don't think it's going to be here any time soon.  

So, it's a good day to stay inside, and I am headed back into my studio to create a Bearded Dragon Wedding Cake Topper... But first, as I sit here enjoying the sound of the birds and the pretty look of the newly fallen snow, I am also browsing through Etsy on my computer.  I've been so busy in my studio lately, creating wonderful new orders, that I kind of lost track of time this past week... Plus, I'm getting used to a new schedule at work, and we've had some trips to the vet for our little Emmi...  

Friday came and went and I didn't have the chance to post my Etsy Finds Friday for the week!  I saw this AWESOME Sculpture by Dawn Schiller of Odd Fae and wow!  A very wonderful piece of artwork!!   Her work is fantastic, she's such an inspiration!!!  I thought I would post my 'Etsy Finds Friday' today... Enjoy!!!

He Asked, She Said YES!

A darling Engagement Party Cake Topper!  Two little Bears in the Park... He's on one knee, holding THAT little black box, open with a diamond ring, and she's looking so happy and surprised!  A very sweet scene for sure!!!  I loved creating this one, and as I was creating it, my imagination was really going on all the other Engagement Scenes I want to create!!  There will definitely be more to come, but in the meantime, here's my Bears... They would also be a darling Wedding Cake Topper and of course, they are a wonderful keepsake to enjoy always!

A Moment Captured... A Dream Come True...

Etsy Finds Friday - Reclaim2Fame

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

Reclaimed Artwork

 Created by:

Reclaim2Fame

About the Artist:

Will Wagenaar has been a professional artist since 1972. Starting in visual merchandizing management with a major Midwest retail chain, he learned at an early age to turn anything into something else. An interior design degree was next at Harrington Institute in Chicago.  1980 was the beginning of a successful mural painting business, creating wonderful walls for prestigious residences and major corporations in cities across the country.  In 1993 he opened a very experimental storefront on Miami Beach where he twisted all manner of found materials into new usable objects and fine art. A couple of years later the concept expanded to The Miami Design District. That larger workshop and gallery showcased over a dozen artist's work in reclamation art. Furnishings of all types, home accessories and fine art were displayed. Everything in the gallery was made of at least 80% recycled materials.  Those two stores are long gone but not the passion for reclamation art. Now living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, he feels like he might just be getting started. Etsy has opened a new world of possibilities for this well seasoned artist.

Gnomes!

These Gnomes were such fun to create!  They were a custom order purchased as a wedding gift for a couple who collects Gnomes.  They stand approximately 6 1/2" tall and are dressed in wedding attire.  The base was made with glitter in the clay and sparkles like newly fallen snow.  A bit of glitter is on the tips of their gnome hats and on the plaque to give the feel of winter.  The piece was antiqued to bring out the design and to give it an aged feel.  These Gnomes will soon be listed in my Etsy Shop, click HERE to see more of my clay creations.

Cowboys and Cowgirls!

Cowboys and Cowgirls are fun toppers and keepsakes!!  For that special little one in your life who loves all things western, these would be perfect!  They can be personalized just for you, here are a few that I recently created...

A Little Girl and Her Pony

Created for a girl's 5th Birthday, this fun cake topper features a Cowgirl all decked out in her western hot pink outfit, and her little pony wearing a hot pink flower in her hair!  They are standing in the grass with flowers in front of them.  The lasso was made in the shape of a number five for this special birthday celebration.  After the party, it's a wonderful keepsake to last a lifetime!

Cowboy and his Lucky Horseshoe

This little Cowboy is wearing his black cowboy boots and hat, a red bandana with his name on it, and is holding his rope and a great big LUCKY Horseshoe! 

Cowboy and his Stick-Horse

Today I am featuring the

Awesome Elf Sculptures

Created by:

Kimberly Yavuz

of Griffinwyse

I love the awesome artwork by Kimberly Yavuz!  

Each of her sculptures is incredible, unique and full of personality! 

In the Artist's Own Words:

Like most artists, I have been making things as long as I can remember. Over the years I have been passionate about designing, drawing, painting and sculpting. I have done all of these in many forms; fashion and bridal design, fashion illustration, as a make-up artist, bronze sculptor, ceramist, wife and mother. I loved it all and it didn't matter if I was "sculpting" a bridal gown or "painting" a face, the thing I loved most about the work was how happy creating these things made others. For me nothing could be more rewarding than loving what you do, enjoying the process, and then getting to see people react and smile at your creation. My daughters are my primary inspiration for creating my elves. They have kept my imagination alive and keep new stories and adventures just around the corner every day. The elves have fused my love of books and stories, historical fashion, painting, make-up artistry and creating something from nothing. I love what I do and I hope they put a smile on your face, too! 

My elves have been featured in Art Doll Quarterly and Doll Collector magazines and I consider it an honor to have my work displayed among so many talented artists.
