Assorted Animals

leopard geckos 2
After seeing the kids fall in love with real leopard geckos, I designed these for the kids one Christmas.

This little guy was an original pattern, made of fleece with hand sewn eyes and nostrils for a friend’s son.

This little fellow was for a monkey loving family member who enjoys hot dogs. (Off the shelf pattern)

Lime green fleece and safety eyes were used on this original design for a friend’s son.
sock guys
Socks from a discount store and beads for the face. Kind of goofy, but had to try!

 

Custom Orders, Handbags & Totes

My First Commissioned Handbag

This was a special request for a friend’s daughter; she was to have something custom that none of her friends could or would have.

Ceramics, Other Stuff

Slab Bowls and Other Pieces

I enjoyed making slab bowls and experimenting with textures and colors.

blue bowl
This blue bowl has black oxide splatters & just enough engobe wiped into the textured crevices.

This was a similar design with netting for texture.

I called this piece “Space” – quasi-boxes in black with white spatters and a red shiny interior glaze.

Red & white clay with a clear glaze for this functional serving bowl.
