Elysian Field Originals

Art and Adornment inspired by Nature & Fantasy

New Holiday Art on Etsy!

Elysian Fields Etsy Miss Mouse loves Halloween! As I sit and sculpt she patiently sits and watches squeaking away about being too small to join in the Halloween festivities, but wanting to dress up. I felt so badly for her that I stitched together a wee witch hat of softest ultra suede dusted with black [...]

Miss Mouse meets the Zombie Kitty

Quick post to update one of my WIP pieces I’ve affectionately dubbed “Miss Mouse”.  I’d gone back and forth over whether or not to have her in Halloween or Christmas attire, and I think she’s decided Halloween. I’ve got pumpkins and pieces drying all over and she wants to be part of the fun! The [...]

Curing Polymer Clay Deni 10400 Convection Oven Review

I get a lot of emails asking polymer clay questions and one of the most frequent is what do I use to cure my clay. I’ve been using and sculpting with polymer clay for almost 12 years now and through trial, error, and many burned ruined pieces I have found a convection oven that works [...]

Zombie Kitty, Mad Jack & the Boneyard

It’s a gorgeous sunny Saturday and I’m working on a few new pieces using my air dry clay, updating my Esty shop, as well as revisiting my “boneyard” to finish up on an old piece I started and let sit for two years.  Then it’s off to the races for the evening and some time [...]

All Hail the Popsicle Stick!

A few hours ago I was playing around with some old scrap clay trying to become inspired and on my table was a popsicle stick left by my grandson, Aidan. Why a marriage of two most unlikely items could make me so happy you ask? I didn’t see clay and a stick…I saw a tool, [...]

WIP Wednesday

While we’re getting ready for our AHA Marketplace opening in a few hours, I thought I’d share my newest work in progress. A little mouse sculpted of air dry clay. I can’t decide if this little one should be a Halloween mouse or a Christmas mouse… What do you think??

Do you like Halloween?

I do!! Thought I’d share a quick couple  pics of 0ne of the pieces I am currently working on.   Halloween decor is so colorful and a blast to decorate year round with.  I know in my house I always have a few little goodies on display. Little pumpkin is sculpted using paper clay with a [...]

Wearing Two Hats

The moment I decided to support myself as an artist I began to wear two hats, one of  artist and the other as  businesswoman.  Blending the two has had its challenge to say the least.  Being creative for me is not being restricted and allowing myself to flow like a stream wearing out little nooks [...]
