Folk Art From The Heart

Fritz Frightcicle

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Fritz Frightcicle found a bucket of gold coins and has just finished decorating his tree. And now he wants to finish his decorations with his favorite tree topper. A large Shamrock. There's only one problem. He's not quite tall enough and the toadstool he's standing on just doesn't get him quite hight enough. He'll just have to wait until the next breeze brings the top bough a little lower.



Fritz can be found at
Folk Art From The Heart
He sells for $75.00

Folk Art From The Heart

Frosta Frightcicle


This piece has been sold, but you can find another just like her here,
Folk Art From The Heart

Frosta Frightcicle has just finished decorating her tree for her favorite holiday, Valentine's Day. All her little Valentine ornaments are in place and now she just needs the finishing touch, a candy heart tree topper. The only problem is, Frosta is just a tad too short for the job so she's desperately hoping that the tree will bend just a tad farther so she can reach it.





Frosta was created using custom colored Polymer Clay. She's standing on a rusty christmas bell that has been secured to a hand painted wooden base. Her Christmas tree and Valentines have also been created using Polymer Clay, custom colored as well.

Frosta stands 12 inches tall by 7 inches wide.

She has been sealed with a satin sealer to protect the piece and keep the colors vibrant for years to come. The piece can be cleaned with a dry dusting cloth

Frosta was created by me, Kim Owens, in my smoke free studio in sunny California, and will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.

This piece may be purchased by following this link:

CHRISTMAS SHOES

~ . ~



The Christmas Shoes - Newsong

Do you know the song?
I never saw the movie - but I love the music of "Newsong" and their song "The Christmas Shoes" ... it came on the radio while I was working on these little treasures (and yes, I still teared up even after all the many times I've heard it!)
Well - my little shoes are not for a Mama, but for a sweet little girl ...

This one of a kind pair will not be duplicated. This pair of DARLING Christmas Shoes was created using many techniques (See my personal blog for TONS of work-in-progress photos Dec 1)!
I prepped them, gessoed them , painted them (black, then red, then gold), then applied crackle ... next came layers of collage! then more crackle, then more glaze on glaze on glaze! and so on and on!

The Details: Darling "KID CONNECTION" shoes in a style called PEGGY - with a sweet heel! - model #6003844... in excellent condition - Little Girls SIZE 7. Velcro Closure strap.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to the lovely song - and for visiting my ETSY store :)
~joyfully,



I also have a variety of Holiday Greeting Cards!


These are from my SANTA CLAWS (ha ha) SERIES!!!

~~thank you BabyCakes...Merry Whatever!

What "Merry Whatever" is all about ?

When I was upset a few years ago at Christmas...
I started saying to everyone..."Merry Whatever"
Friends and Customers loved it.
Some even felt the same way.
With cost of living making things tough for all of us now.
It brought back the saying to my mind.
"Merry Whatever"
But this time a new meaning with it...
Every month almost there is some kind of holiday.
Get it...Merry Whatever !
Hope you all enjoy our work here... my friends and myself that is,
easy to buy, wonderful to look at. However remember
all items on here are copyrighted.
Thanks for dropping by, do come again
