More Dragons!

Here are the latest Dragons!! I added another fandom Dragon. I hope y'all like them!

This is the Sherlock Dragon. I try to take the colors directly from the shows they are based on. I think he turned out pretty well.

This Dragon is not a fandom Dragon, but she turned out very well! She is a Sea Dragon.

I also branched out and made a little teddy bear!

Dragons!

Starting new mediums is always an exciting adventure. While I was in the hospital last week I embarked on just such a journey into polymer clay.

My nerd side reared its head while I was making these. These are based on Doctor Who and Merlin. I tend to jump into the hardest project I can think of, which is problematic for me at times. Luckily these turned out well! I would also like to thank Dragons and Beasties on Deviant Art for inspiring me to try these!

Here is how I made the Merlin dragon.

Sorry it's not very detailed, and I didn't take pictures of every step, but it's a general idea.

Hope y'all enjoy!

Newest painting

I have been getting ready for a craft fair for the past couple weeks. While I was working on one of my mosaic projects I decided to do a little painting. I'm still trying to decide what to call it!

I got the idea when I was coming home from missouri with my family. There were gorgeous thunderclouds and I haven't been able to stop thinking about them since.

More pottery

Over the past few months I have been trying to work as much as possible in the pottery studio at Laguna Gloria. I was still only able to work there about once a week but I got an amazing amount of work done! (At least for me... I'm  not always as productive as I want to be.) Whenever I was unable to go to the studio I decided to do a little hand building. I hope y'all enjoy!

Here everything (almost) is before I glazed them. 

I made these two at the hospital. Bubbles the fish and Jawn the hedgehog.

This is a flower put. The swirls took a lot longer than I anticipated when I started them. (I had to use the back end of the paint brush.. Not very conducive to making a lot of swirls at once.) 

My salt cellar. I will probably throw thaws on the wheel from now on. They take o while longer than I want to, starting from a pinch pot.

Flower pot #2.

 

These are tea bag rests.

Spoon rests.

This is the bottom of one of the spoon rests.

These are soap dishes I made using a cookie cutter.

Two juice glasses.

This is a mug I made for my grandmother!

And last but not least here is a bowl.

Projects from the Last Few Months

I have been so busy lately! Between being in the hospital, dog training, art endeavors, and College things, there hasn't been time for much else. However I have been very productive artistically. 

 My "Flower Mug". Does anyone have any ideas on what color I could Glaze it?

 This is a Bud Vase. It will probably be a light green color.

The next few pictures are Bubbles the Fish. I'm thinking of painting scales of different shades of blue and green. Any thoughts?

 This is "Jawn". He is a Hedgehog. He will be a pretty brown when he is finished.

And here is Bubbles the Fish and "Jawn" the Hedgehog together!

As a bon as here is a picture of Rori!!

She likes to swing on the porch swing with me!

 

Handmade Christmas

I know this is a bit late, however we didn't finish our Christmas celebrations until last Saturday! Anyway, we decided to have a "handmade" Christmas this year. Here are the things I made for my mother and sisters. 

I made these in a few differnt colors but I forgot to take pictures before I wrapped them!

I made my mother a mosaic hand trowel.

I still need to put a weather proof finish on it. I think it turned out well!
