My Work Table. The Forest Shroomtopus and the Pumpkins Family...

Hello, folks!

Here are the latest news from my work table! The April was just one crazy month, I was very busy at first, then I got cold and fell out of life for a couple of weeks, and then I needed to finish my bookkeeping (taxes) for the previous year, so I simply couldn't find a couple of minutes to post here something. But now everything is sorted out and I'm finally here! 

Here are my newest creations - a strange yet lovely Pumpkins family and another mysterious creature from the Forgotten Forest. Right now there are only three members of Pumpkins family ready, but I'm planning to bring to life more of them. I enjoyed making them very much! :)

From left to right - Bert Pumpkins, Isabella Pumpkins and Todd Pumpkins.

A Forest Shroomtopus is another newest addition to my store. He is a quite interesting creature, which looks like an octopus-like being, with only five tentacles, covered in moss and mushrooms. His skin is a mixture of pale blue, beige and white, it's eyes are dark blue and shiny. It slowly crawls through the depths of the forest, seeking the answers to questions asked by nobody... I truly like him! :)

Isn't he lovely? :)

I have also a lot of new drawings, but I will show you them in the next post!
Thanks for staying with me! :)

Finally, pendants!

Finally, I finished them all! And it took me much longer than I expected.  I had some custom orders in between and made some sculptures too. But here they are - little whimsical pendants, 9 at this moment. A lovely tree log, a mysterious potion, a little ghost, a curious tooth and a whole bunch of mushrooms! They all will be added to my store within this week. And the log pendant is already available! I'm planning to create more when I will have enough time... :)

My Work Table (part 2)...

Hello again, dear friends! :)
I've made a lot of things lately - polymer clay ornaments, small and medium sculptures, a plenty of miniature potion bottles, painted wooden pendants, whimsical polymer clay charms. Some of these creations are already available in my store, but some of them still need some finishing touches.
A little bit info about my wooden pendants... I live near forest and each year we (me and my husband) look for fallen (during storms) trees and branches and collect them. The pendants from the pictures below are made from a fallen pine's branch, which we found and brought home two years ago. Usually I use them as stands or bases for my sculptures, but this time I decided to make something else from them. My personal favourite is the green guy with a red background! :)
In the beginning of January I made a list of things and ideas for ornaments and business card/paper holders. I started with ornaments and hopefully I will finish the whole list till the end of August. The Screaming Bones are from that list! :)
Right now I'm working on little charms - mushrooms, ghostly creatures, tree logs, vegetables, etc. I will show you the ready ones in the middle of upcoming week!
Thank you! :)

My Work Table...

Hello, friends!
I have a lot of things to show and I will start with my latest drawings. I started drawing last year (started again - would be more correct) and now I draw something almost every day. And I like that! :)

Usually I write down my sculpting ideas (like - to make some wicked zombie heads), but now I draw them too. And it helps a lot to imagine and create the final look of a future sculpture or figurine. Hopefully, some of the creatures from the pictures below soon will get the real physical form.
Not all of the drawings listed below have titles yet, but eventually I will give a proper title to each of them. If you have any interesting ideas - just drop me a line in a comments! :)
Tomorrow I will show you some of my latest figurines, so stay tuned! :)

Jump!

Happy holidays to everyone!

My Latest Drawings

Hello, dear folks! :)

This is the promised post about my newest drawings. I won't show you all of them, only those I like best myself. The first one shows a strange and wicked company ready for an adventure. Can you guess which book has inspired me? I bet this will be easy to guess... :D
The second one shows a little proud cook, who has finally mastered the Perfect Cupcake recipe! I guess I need to master this skill too, I really love cupcakes! :)

The third one is a portrait of a small genie, who spent most of his life in a tiny bottle, but now is free and ready for some mischief...:) 

The fourth one and the fifth one are also some kind of portraits. The Winter Mandrake (the fourth drawing) is ready for a cold winter, just look at her new knitted scarf! :)
And the strange creature from the last one is a truly rare water being. Legend says that everyone who will meet or see such a creature, will be blessed with the everlasting luck! :)

The road is calling...

Here are some of my latest creations, mostly ornaments. I started making them last year and liked the idea very much! I started with birds - with parrots of Doom (they inhabit the Forgotten Forest) and with some real species such as chickadee and bullfinch, but now there are mushrooms, vegetables and unknown beings and creatures too! :)
My second craft show slowly approaches (it will be on December the 20th) and I'm working constantly on new things. Right now there are 7 unfinished sculptures on my table and I need to make a plenty of them... So there is no time for long posts right now, but I hope it won't last too long.
I will  show you my new drawings in the next post, on Monday! :)

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate! May this day be peaceful and full of joy!

Printed Postcards, Original Drawings, New Zombies and Amazon Handmade

September was the best month ever in the whole history of my Etsy store, I was very busy, had some custom orders too and basically had no time to write here even a few words. Lets hope that October will be at least the same or even better! :)
Recently I printed some postcards with my drawings in a very limited edition and I'm very happy with the result. Soon they will be available in my store... :)
Again, I drew a lot and decided also to offer some of my watercolour and ink drawings for sale too (you can see them on the last three photos). Some of them will be available in my Etsy store and some in my newly launched store at Amazon Handmade. By the way, the assortment in both stores will be different! :)
Right now I'm sculpting all the time - I've created a list of things that should be ready (sculpted, baked and painted) till the end of this year. The list is very long, but  very interesting. I will show you my creations from there, one by one, when they will be ready. And I will start with two zombies that I finished today! Hope you will like them, there are more to come! :)

My Latest Drawings...

Finally, I'm ready to post and write again! Please, excuse me for such a long absence here! Now I'm back and here are some of my latest drawings. All these creatures live in Erinle's world, which is quite colourful as you can see. They all are very friendly and very curious and I hope that you will like them as much as I do! :)
In the near future I plan to classify them (they - inhabitants of Erinle's world) somehow... I think that it will help me to organize my imaginary world a bit and I really need that! :)
Enjoy!

My Work Table...

Here are my latest creations! And even more to come! My sales always go up at the end of the summer, so I need to be prepared for that...:) Pumpkins, mushrooms and shroomplings, spirits of nature, unknown creatures - this is just a short version of my to-create-list. I decided to start with pumpkins (mainly). I love making pumpkins, there is something magical in their diversity of forms and colours. Erinle grows different kinds of them in her garden and below you can see some of them. Then I created another Silent Watcher, this time a little bit bigger and I can say for sure that I'm in love with these strange creatures! So there will be more of them in the near future. Then comes another shroompling and I think that you all already know that I'm in love with mushrooms too! :D

The last picture shows something new - the Raindrop Spirits. As you know, the Mossy Swamp is full of different creatures and beings. It is a very moist place and there is no day without a rain. But even rains there are unusual. The biggest raindrops can easily transform into naughty little spirits known as the Raindrop Spirits. They are quite mischievous but still can bring a lot of joy and luck. They represent the element of Water, and soon there will be little spirits for each element - Fire, Air and Earth.
That's all for now and I'm going back to work! :)
