Protector of the Patch






The Pumpkin Patch Protector is on the job making sure no one picks his friends out of the patch! The pumpkins are comfy and cozy, knowing he’s on the job.

This piece was created using my own hand made paper clay. Once dried, it was hand painted using acrylic paints. Chalks and oils were added to create highlights and shadows. The whole piece was then antiqued and then finally sealed with a satin sealer to protect the finish and keep the colors vibrant for years to come.

This piece stands 8 inches tall by 4 inches wide and will come to you signed, dated and ready for display

Salem, the cat, is 4 inches tall with his tail and made from coffee stained muslin with embroidery thread whiskers he was painted, sanded, stiffened and grunged to prim perfection. He's a leaner or bowl filler if you prefer, but Cackle will hold him since she has wired arms. Broom is 10 inches tall made from three different harvest colored fabrics then botanicals were added to the bottom and tied with rusty wire.
All three just $29.99 and they all would look great sitting in a bowl among Harvest bowl fillers. All three handmade without the use of a sewing machine. If you would like to see more pictures and a sideview of Miss Cackle check her out on my site on Etsy.

This little OOAK, Primitive, Art Doll is 9 inches tall. Abby is something new I am trying out ... an art doll made using primitive techniques. She will kneel or sit for you. Her body was made from the constitution of the United States material and her arms are wired to position nicely for you.
Abby's face and hands were made with coffee stained muslin and her face was hand drawn using water colors. Her nose and lips are also needle sculpted. Abby's face has been sealed to resist dust and retain its colors.

She's pulled up her skirt for you so that you can see that her legs are Americana red and tan fabric, her skirt is an Americana reddish brown with mustard color stars on it and her loons are little American Flags over tan fabric. She also wears a tennis visor made from the same fabric.
Abby is very patriotic and hand made (without the use of a sewing machine) in the USA. If you would like to purchase her follow this link to Etsy

Fiona Frightcicle

Fiona Frightcicle has just finished decorating her tree for her favorite holiday, Easter. All her little Easter Egg ornaments are in place and now she just needs the finishing touch, a chocolate bunny tree topper. The only problem is, Fiona 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 because she's precariously perched upon an unstable Easter egg.
