Haunted Fairy Door

I had a request for a Halloween fairy door. It took a few days on paper to get it worked out just right. The person asking is so nice and full of positive energy that I didn't want to do the normal Halloween. The snakes sorta come out of an accident but learn a cool way to make them now. This picture doesn't show the reds and a few other colors good enough but I have to say this door came out rather nicely.

Check out my store http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6195895 Take some time to look around thru sold orders and my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/craftaddict02/ I enjoy custom orders and give discounts for them. =)

Week of fun with Debi

NanaDeb from swap-bot.com came down to spend the week playing in clay. We tried some new ideas together and I showed her how to make a few things I like to make. She also brought a book on how to make the cutest of characters, the witch is one of them and I'll be posting a girl I made on flickr later on today. I got behind on my house chores but it was well worth it. After losing my job and being involved in a hit and run this visit really picked my spirits back up to my norm. =) We spent much time claying, talking and lets not forget the shopping. We made faux turquoise, coral and lapis. Mind you we didn't get it right the first time but we caught on quick.

Time to mow the yard but I will blog more about our adventure later. =)

New use for old tools.

I found some cake icing tips at a yard sale and bought them. I was hoping to find some way of using them in my claying adventures. Ugh I couldn't get the clay to push through the tips so I decided to try and get them to work with an extruder. It so worked with the Makins Clay Extruder. So here you see the 2 tools combined as 1 and a cupcake I made using the new take on icing tips. =)
