and he'll puff
and
he'll blow
those leaves down!!

surprises!

FINISHED WORKS
wall hangings/yard art
WORKS IN PROGRESS
AND UNGLAZED
I handcraft all of these characters individually. It takes at least 2 weeks to produce each one. The process of sculpting,
drying, bisque firing, glazing and then a final firing takes time and patience.
No two pieces will ever be identical.
"RAINEE WINTERSPOON"
Well, obviously she likes the
rain more than I do! I think
she's winking at the
weatherman.........
or.....Harvey? Hmmmmm...
DON'T KNOW WHO THIS

BUT HE REMINDS ME OF
SOMEONE........
IT'S GOING TO BE A
"LATE HARVEST"
At least for this vine!!
Manny will watch over this vine
till the last chick has flown!
Approx 13" x 10"
"GODDESS OF NIGHT"
She reigns oer the skies of starry
night
ruling the ocean's tide with her
might,
all the while
showering us with soft golden light.

Approx 15" x 11"
This guy has not revealed his
name to me yet! I think he's
enjoying his little secret.
"HARVEY WALLHANGER"
If you're wondering why the smile, it's
because someone told him he looks
like a movie star...
Gene Wilder!
It really went to his head!
(he thinks he's sexy)
There is a "planting pocket"
in the back for dried
flowers, ivy, etc.
SOLD

They loosen your brain and
your tongue...at the same time!
Fiendish!!
THE MERMAID'S PUDDLE
