Clean Cat

Here is a cat. Next, I'll glue the top of the base to the bottom, photograph it, and put it on Etsy.
The thing in the upper left hand corner is a microscope. There is a Luxo lamp next to that. Together they help me see my pieces better and to drive me crazy showing me minute pieces of lint that stick to the clay.
Tomorrow I want to go to Ikea and get a glass desktop. Liquid polymer really bonds with the plastic desktop blotter I have now. Nothing sticks to glass.

Maneating Plant

I'm remaking a piece because I didn't like the way the first one came out. Sometimes I don't like the second one, either, We'll see.

Cygnet

Swans are awful. Flamingos too. Anything with a long neck has to have a wire run through it for strength. It's hard to make a smooth, curvy neck when I have to work around a wire. I often end up rejecting them. This is based on one of my favorite fairy tales from childhood.

Owen & Mzee

I'm working on Owen and Mzee. I've never done a Hippo or a Tortoise before.

Nightmare & Birthday

Piece about a nightmare that I'm working on. Beautiful flowers that Nancy sent to me for my birthday today. Sweet!

Whatididtoday

This is "Cupcake Tree." I had some problems, but it should be ready to be photographed soon.

Mush

Today I'll be completing Acme cat wash and a dog sledding piece.
