Decorate Your Summer Table With a Tortie Tablecloth and Placemat

Handmade of unbleached cotton muslin, this little accent tablecloth is 36″ x 36″ and has the same image, “The Roundest Eyes”, printed and hand-tinted four times, one on each corner. It is signed and dated below the design and has my handwritten “label” reading “handmade, hand-printed, hand-painted” and the year. Washing instructions are included on […]

Peaceful Nap Feline Votive

I see things others might recycle or throw away as creative possibilities. I save jars and use a fair number around the house for storage and for projects in my studio and recycle the rest. For years I’ve considered ways to make votives with my artwork just like the ones I’ve received as gifts and […]

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 […]

A few more things I’ve been wanting to make and couldn’t wait for the studio remake because the HCMT/Pittsburgh C.A.T. Spaghetti Dinner is this Sunday! 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. […]

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 […]
