After All, It’s Kitten Season

This pendant sold fast and I don’t have another on hand. I will look for this frame and cabochon and make another. An overabundance of kittens isn’t really a thing to celebrate, but kittens are cute nonetheless. This small pendant is made with a print of my pencil sketch “Ready for Play”, inside an oval […]

“Awakening” Cabochon in Classic Black and White

This small pendant is made with a print of my block print “Awakening” inside an antique silver metal frame with a decorative edge and a 3/4″ convex glass cabochon cover. The art is my block print “Awakening”. Only the very center of the design with the cats is included inside the cabochon because the decorative […]

Be A Flower Child Like Bella

Bella is just feeling pretty mellow yellow as she settles in her little world within her basket. Bella is well aware of her charms and her beauty, and just how to compose a good photo. Here is the original photo. This small pendant is made with a print of my photo of Bella, “Flower Child”, […]

“Three Cats”, a New Design on Trinket Dishes

A new trinket dish design, and a design you will be finding on other products! I love this little brush pen sketch and I’ve always wanted to do something with it, so I had a stamp made and here is the first something. The dishes are 4″ white polymer clay but this time I’ve stamped […]

All the Pretty Cabochons

Like so many other items, I’ve been envisioning this style of cabochon pendants with my art and photos in them for quite a long time. I purchased a four pendant frame and cabochon sets with neck chains to try out so the only hard part was narrowing down the images to use, and, honestly, that […]

Black Cat Collection Cabochon Pendants Like so many other items, I’ve been envisioning this style of cabochon pendants with my art and photos in them for quite a long time. […]

My Mother’s Columbines Keepsake

My columbines aren’t blooming yet but they will be soon, and I can’t wait. I’ve always loved these unique flowers in all their color combinations and thoroughly enjoyed painting the original watercolor I used on this keepsake box. This box has my painting “My Mother’s Columbines” on the top, painted with deep forest green and […]

“The Perfect Place” Keepsake Box, a Gift for the Gardener

Just one little careful study of sun on the bench and flowers, from anothers’ garden. My own garden bench should be so well landscaped. Use it to hold seed packets, or your own collection of heritage seeds, gloves and small tools, or small books and notes to have handy when planning next year’s garden so […]

Let the Sun Shine With Hand-painted Trinket Dishes!

These little trinket dishes are 3.5″ in diameter and approximately 1/4″ to 1/2″ deep, made from natural white polymer clay. Each dish is formed and painted individually. When I first made polymer clay trinket dishes last year they were kind of lumpy until I worked out how to make the shape for “Curving Silhouette”, but […]

Time for Flowers, Crocheted Washcloths and Patterns

Inspired by the flowers in my garden as they bloom from spring through autumn, I designed these crocheted washcloths to brighten up your a or kitchen or anywhere in the house—and not just as washcloths, but to crochet in different yarns and different sizes to make items from tiny sachets to throw rugs, or to […]
