My Teeny girl, a sneak peek and a sheep!
Teeny's centerfold spread!!! Tee hee...
I realized that i have not yet written about my Teeny girl! She is the one who started all of our cat madness 12 years ago. She doesn't have a wild and crazy story like the rest of my gang members. It was pretty simple...we adopted her at the Atlanta Humane Society as a kitten and she has been utterly spoiled ever since. She has developed asthma and a particularly grouchy demeanor over the years. Teeny hoped to be an only child and instead gained 5 adopted siblings and a constant barrage of furry foster chidren. She loves ONLY one creature...her mama....and i love her to pieces.
NEWEST ARTWORK~~
This sweetly spooky frog will be available on the Spookytime Jingles site on the 13th.
And Daisy the Sheep will be posted in my etsy shop later today.

Sneak peeks and such!
Happy sunny and bright Wednesday to all my art and animal loving peeps!
Here are some new WIPs as well as some of the ones i posted before...the chick on the sheep has been a challenge. I have never sculpted an animal on all fours!! They are always stanging upright like humans. Go figure! The piece in front is going to be the party chick train!! I think it will have a patriotic theme and the chicks will be holding mini flags. The frog holding the pumpkin will be on the next SpookyTime Jingles update.
Here is a 6 x 8 gallery wrap canvas painting of my catfish sculpture. A fun project to do while the clay dries....
I just took a break out on our back patio with Missy, one of our feral cat tenants. Well, as you can see, she's not so feral anymore....i can pet her and rub her tummy any time :). I force her to let me pick her up. She squirms and rolls that round body around, but i know she really loves it. Tee hee. Isn't she beautiful?
I made this mosaic table a few years ago at a class at the John Campbell Folk School in Brasstown NC (a fabulous place...check out their site!). We learned how to make ceramic tiles and sculpted pieces out of clay, fired them and then incorporated our handmade pieces into mosaics. I etched one of my favorite quotes into the center piece. "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that i can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now." One of the cats is usually sitting smack dab in the middle of this table, so I thought i would get a photo in while i had a chance.

SnipPet WIPs and Show and Tell
A Catfish, a Party Chick and two Sheep in process! These silly SnipPets are drying and should be ready to paint by the end of the weekend.
I received a fun package of goodies from my mom yesterday, so i thought i would share the quirky contents with you. She found a woman in Raleigh who recently bought a warehouse full of trims, ribbons, millinery flowers, folk art treasures, etc. from an 80 year old couple. The lady can't use it all, so she has been having big warehouse sales over the past few weekends. So cool! I have found a few spots around the house for some of these odds and ends...and the rest may end up incorporated into my artwork.
My hubby's mom and dad are on their way to Kentucky from Georgia right now! The weather is FABULOUS here, so it should be a lovely weekend visit. We will be heading to our favorite restaurants, taking a scenic drive through some horse farms and enjoying some jazz and wine tastings at a local vineyard. Oh, and I also want to go see that new Earth movie...hope we can squeeze it in!
I hope all of you have some fun plans for the weekend....what are you up to??
Hugs to all,
Carrie
