Hobby Show Toronto

This past weekend I did a vendors booth for Paverpol. Met alot of very nice people. Hoping to get people interested in making their own out door art. My friend Susie flew in from Montreal to help, was great fun but very tiring.

Castle done til spring

My Castle is not done yet but this is the last good day , thought I best take a pic before I tarp it over for the next couple weeks , yesterday I put a nice coat of clear paverpol and sparkles on it , all the lights are working now at night. The doors are going to get changed I'm not pleased with them the rounded two are oak . the stairs are made out of wood then a coat of grey paverpol and paper towel . Have a lot more detail I want to add ,plus flags ,but that will do in the spring .

Mean Goblin

This is Reeok, he is mean through and through I found him wandering in my yard .He says he has lived in the swamps north of here, but with the new road going in ,he lost his home. Promises to behave if he can stay .

Horny Wench

Hi ! This is my very first polymer clay finished piece .This is a whole new fun medium. I had only heard bad things about polymer but gave it a try anyway. Wow what fun!! Learned a lot with this piece, only baked her once, duh cause I didn't know you can rebake polymer. Her hair, dress, wings, and stand are done with paverpol . Her name well...she has horns so she is horny and when I looked up wench on the internet I came across this web site and thought yes she is a wench and maybe I might become a member too, I like what they stand for : )

My Castle

Doing stone on addition, have a plan now for the stairs to second floor!!

Decided to add an addition, moved the planter to the outer side, also decided to put lights in the other building, the lights will look better at night if there is more .

Update tonight, it's been a very humid summer, so working on the castle has been hit and miss, hope to have it all done by next month at this time lol I'm open to any sugestions as what more to add, the lights are on but hard to see unless enlarged.

Started working on my Castle today and took some pics. Got the turrets cut today and windows marked, got electric wire, quartz rocks, now the base is almost done. Not sure what tops I should use for the turrets, maybe gourds, maybe mesh and paverpol. Want to get this done this month and looking forward to see it coming together. Miss being with nature, have to remember to enjoy it while the nice weather is here : )

My Wish Tree

Don't we all wish we could go in our back yards and have a Wish Tree? Like a money tree but better we could pick a leaf when ever there was a wish we wanted. Then it would come true. Money has never been very important to me, but wishing has more mystery and intrigue has more potential for happiness : ) She is shy and peeks through her branches to see who is coming. Her Guard is always a sleep at the job . My every wish come true for you: )

Jumoku

Jumoku was purchased by a good and helpful friend for his wife B-day. Now he is guarding their back yard. His name was given to me by a new friend and awesome artist Jean Bernard.

Ming

Ming is my second tree .

Having had Bonsai, just elegance alone was enough for me that day.

My Trees

Hommer is my first tree. His face and body are apoxie sculpt, his leaves are paverpol. The doors are gourd pieces, the owl is my totem spirit. Willows are one of my favorite trees, little people have always been a part of my life, rock hold many diferent meanings to me and I have collected them from every where I go. Naming him Hommer meaning elements close to my heart. He stands 27 inches high and 17 inches across.
