Happy Faerie Day!!! It’s a day of celebrating nature and everything to do with fairies!!!
The Observer
Sitting at my sculpting table last week, I realized I was surrounded by more polymer clay leaves than I had a pile of in my back yard. After time spent of mixing clay, imprinting leaves, and curing them I had a pretty substantial array…and yet, no motivation to do anything with them. Uh oh, creative [...]
Faerie Slumber
I thought I’d share a new little piece I’ve been working on. It’s a faerie child wrapped in a maple leaf and asleep in an oak leaf cradle. The faerie is 3″ long and was sculpted using Kato clay with Genesis heat set oils for added color. I really prefer this clay now for [...]
Leaf Art ~During~
A few days ago I posted some pictures of assorted leaves I’d done and what they look like before I draw or paint them. I thought today I’d show you a progression of how some look so far. I have so many ideas and things I’d like to try but for now here are a [...]

Nouveau Tree Nymph
A unique blend of Nouveau and Nature! This tiny art nouveau style bas relief of a tree nymph is set into an imprint of a 2″ Norway Maple leaf from Rhode Island. Both are sculpted using Kato clay. The leaf has been colored with inks and mica powders and the fairy nymph is colored using [...]
Autumn Leaves
So dear friends, I’ve been away and obviously not blogging like I should. Here is a commissioned piece I’ve just finished of a very large Norwalk Maple leaf spirit. The leaf measures 6″ x 7″ and is done in the warm, subtle colors of Autumn. Enjoy!
Waning Days of Summer
Hello my friends! The spring/summer has come and gone and I’ve been a very bad blogger, so forgive me dear readers for my extended absence, but now I am back. I’ve been busy with family, spending time outdoors, working on new pieces, and experimenting with polymer clay techniques. Ah, the sweet joy of success…and of [...]
