Bookworm Polymer Clay Desktop Buddy


This little bookworm desktop buddy is handmade from polymer clay. It's an apple with an adorable bookworm sitting on top reading his most favorite book. The book is leaned up against the stem of the apple and is marked to his favorite chapter with a bookmark. There is a red heart stamped on the bookworm and a green heart stamp on the apple.

Brussels Griffon Polymer Clay Dog Ornament

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I'm getting in the mood with my Christmas ornaments. I just love to make these little guys, they get me in the spirit so expect to see lots more until Christmas!

This ornament is a sweet little Brussels Griffon and she is holding her very own ornament to put on the Christmas tree. She can't wait until the tree goes up so she can place her ornament in a very special spot -- right on one of the front branches.

The Brussels Griffon is hand-sculpted from polymer clay and is holding a large green crystal ornament. She has a sprig of holly at her ear and sits on a red base in a silver cameo setting. The ornament hangs from green satin cord. Approximate size of the ornament is: 2-1/4" long (with satin cord 4-1/4" long) x 1-1/2" wide

Bookworm Polymer Clay Christmas Ornament


This year I decided to take some of my favorite beads and make them into Christmas ornaments so I'm here to introduce Ms. Bookworm, she is a little bookworm who loves nothing more than to read her books. She always has her nose in one book or another.

The entire bookworm ornament is hand-sculpted from polymer clay except for her hat, which I crocheted.

The approximate size of the ornament is:
2" top to bottom (hangs approximately 4" with cord)
1-1/2" side to side

The ornament would be great for any book lover, teacher or student.

Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Polymer Clay Dog Snow Globe Ornament

Here's the start of my Christmas ornaments. I have hand-sculpted my little dogs and encased them in round globes along with various bits and pieces. This one is my first, my Yorkie Christmas ornament.

There are purple, green and blue feathers behind her and the globe is sprinkled with purple glass shards along with a few flakes of "snow" at the bottom. The globe has two purple ball charms at top of the neck along with a blue bow and hangs from lavender satin cord. These little balls are so hard to photograph though because of the glare; they are much cuter in person!

Noid the Chinese Crested Polymer Clay Dog

Meet Noid, he's a sculpture I recently did. He is a Chinese Crested and his mommy wanted the sculpture to look like the caricature he's sitting on in the first photo so I tried to do a cross between the real dog and the cartoon dog.

Sparkles is the first one in pink, made for a very lucky young girl who just got the Pomeranian puppy and the other is Traum a Cardigan Corgi, the pendant was made for his mommy.

Dachshund Picture Frame

I'm happy to say that this little guy sold pretty quickly. The frame is a metal frame with a hand-sculpted Dachshund across the bottom giving a ride to four ladybugs who are trying to get up the flowers that the little pup is holding. The frame holds a small print of my artwork of a Dachshund with her own fairy. The dog, ladybugs and flowers are all hand-sculpted from polymer clay.
