Custom paintings

I have been taking a break from the clay for a little while to work on more paintings. I am almost finished with a custom sugar skull rabbit for a wonderful customer who LOVES rabbits! I really enjoy painting the details of the sugar skulls...fun to get lost in the patterns and vibrant colors. I completed the second painting last week and delivered it to a customer in Raleigh. She is redecorating her little boy's room with a cars/trucks/planes theme and wanted his favorite animal, a turtle, driving a car down a winding road with a bible quote she had chosen. I added in a little flag with his name and put his birthdate on the license plate. She said that Tyler giggles whenever he looks at the painting which is now hanging over his bed. I think that is the perfect stamp of approval :)!

A turtle, a turkey and some chicks!

Shoowee! Where does time go????!!!! I have wanted to blog every day this week and each day has just flown by! I STILL haven't told you about my most recent TNRing and kitten rescues, and I promise to do that in the next few days. I have realized that I desperately need to work on my time management and come up with a more organized schedule for everything in my life! Otherwise, I just run around all day and feel like nothing gets completed.

I started sculpting quite a few new dolls last week...snow critters, caroling critters, holiday busts and a few custom orders. I just completed the special orders and thought I would share them with you. Here they are....a collegiate munchkin doll for some big Virginia Tech Hokie fans, a guitar playing turtle munchkin named Buckingham and a blue and green chick wedding cake topper for a very special couple!





And here's a sneak peek at one of my new little buggers, Gilly. Can you take the cuteness??? More about her later...
