Wow, I can't believe it's been nearly 2 weeks since my last post! I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor day weekend. :) I was hard at work on my new projects (you may remember my post about wanting to create DOTD toys). I just completed my first pull toy, it's a custom piece for Teresa in the UK, but I'm making more! ;) Lots of trial and error on these, and a lot of help from my boyfriend who is more skilled with power tools. I hope that these are well received, and that people understand that I love animals and children (I'm not trying to scare children or give them nightmares)! These are intended for the alternative parent and the big kids that like to play with funky folk art! Here's the completed custom kitty:
My work table right now...you can see a squirrel starting to form at the bottom!

I took a break from the toys yesterday afternoon, and daydreamed this painting into creation. It was fun to just play with color, and paint something different from my norm. :) I just posted
"Light As Air" in my Etsy shop!
