SnipPets in the Celebrate365 Summer Issue!

I am thrilled to bits that several of my SnipPets are featured in the summer issue of Celebrate365!! This is such a beautiful, fun publication filled with special and festive ornaments and dolls. I am especially loving the Alice in Wonderland section...fabulous! It is so neat to see many artists' interpretations of Alice's quirky characters.

Mad Catter and a Rabbit Necklace

Yes, more Alice in Wonderland inspired SnipPets...I just can't help myself :)! The creative possibilies are neverending.

So, what do you get when you cross a Mad Hatter with the Cheshire Cat?? A Mad Catter, of course! This large ornament would look great as a wall hanging too.


...and a Rabbit Silhouette SnipPet necklace. Both are in my Etsy shop right now.



Purrs to all and have a WONDERFUL weekend!!

Mad Hatter Madness for the Spookytime Jingles Update!

When the clock strikes midnight tonight, new art will magically appear on the STJ website! Here are my offerings for this month.

Mad Hatter and Friends! This piece was the most fun I've had in awhile...especially creating that wild orange mohair wig! It seemed to take forever to finish because I was definitely caught up in the details and was nitpicking everything. And when I finally determined that it was completed, I realized that I had forgotten the Hatter's eyebrows!! Tee hee. I sort of felt like Alice getting my friends all spiffed up and ready for the tea party.







This is an ornament version of the Mad Hatter. I decided to change it up and give green hair. It seems to suit him well :).

Mad Hatter and friends

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am ready for my hubby to get home so we can head to our favorite restaurant and get the weekend started :)!

I just put this piece to bed for the night. It's a Mad Hatter candlestick. I have never EVER sculpted a human face before, so I was a bit nervous about it and still am. We'll see how it goes once I get him painted. He is going to have a fuzzy orange mohair "wig" so excuse his current baldness. I LOVED the makeup on the Johnny Depp version of the Hatter, so I can't wait to use my pastels to get a similarly fun effect. The Cheshire Cat is supposed to sit on top of his hat and the Rabbit will either be in one of his hands or sitting on his arm. I am also working on a Mad Hatter ornament and have sketched out a Cheshire Cat Sweet Tooth piece...cannot wait to get started on that one!!

Enjoy your weekend, my blog buddies!
