A starlit winter’s evening with a full moon shining down upon a quaint New England village with lots of snow and a stray whale cruising by…..the idea of this cooled me right down (was a very hot day).  One of the benefits of designing and painting for me is that I get to escape into my own little world. I don’t always know where I am going but the journey is always fun and rewarding.

I have many fond memories of being at the shore and collecting sea glass especially after a storm.  The blues and green shades were so beautiful!  I have tried to replicate the colors in this soap I made. The soap is made with detergent free shea butter melt and pour soap base, colored mica colorants of Grasshopper, Mint Julep and Silver White as well as Frosted Sea Glass Fragrance oil and LOTS OF LOVE!  Each bar is hermetically wrapped and weighs approximately 4.7 ounces.

I really wanted to create a swirl design that used these 3 colors and was so pleased with the results.  I hope you love them too!  This soap is made with detergent free melt and pour soap base; mermaid blue, rose gold and gold sparkle mica colorants as well as Sea Cyprus Fragrance Oil and LOTS OF LOVE!  Each bar is hermetically sealed and weighs approximately 3.8 ounces.

I found this adorable green enamel pail, spring was on its way and I thought the pail would be wonderful with spring chicks in red boots! There are three designs for the chicks and these can be scattered in whichever way you choose.  A pail or container of any size can be used!  If you have a container that you want to paint and then add the chicks, that can be done!  The green color of my enamel pail is very close to DecoArt Hauser Medium Green.

This is my original design, one of which I hope you like!

I was inspired to design these ornaments after hearing one of the songs from the Sound of Music, My Favorite Things, written by Richard Rodgers.   I decided to use the star cut out shapes as they are readily available and usually very low cost.  The front and back of each star is painted and stenciled which is a feature I really like – an extra step, but really nice!

I first came across this Scottish nighttime prayer in a very small gift shop near Seattle, Washington and it stuck with me for all these many years.  It was a small piece of wood with lots of decoratively painted flowers on it.  I was in IKEA recently and saw these wonderful square mirrors and immediately thought of the saying with a painted night scene, a candle in the window of a red house, plenty of stars and plenty of fireflies in the tree tops.  I thought it would be especially sweet in a child’s room but I could see it in any room.  Of course, there is always a "Halloween angle" to this as well (ghosts, ghouls, oh my!). This is an original design.

I have always loved lambs/sheep and when designing Christmas tree ornaments, the first thing I thought of was how do I incorporate sheep into the designs.  This is what I came up with.

Is this the cutest ornament ever or what?  The snowie is doing something I am sure everyone who has ever experienced snow has tried... to catch a snowflake on their tongue!  I saw them and had to make them.  Each ornament is sculpted out of air dry clay, painted, sealed, glittered with snow to within an inch of its existence and then an eye screw and ornament hanger installed.  These are designed by Nichola Battilana, a wonderful clay artist.  The ornament are shipped in a 4x4x4 inch box!  This would make such a wonderful gift for someone who collects ornaments, for anyone who loves snow and snowy items or anyone who likes to smile.

The ornament is $8.00 each.   If you wish to purchase more than 1 ornament, please send me an email so I can let you know what the new postage and total will be!   Thanks!

The weight of the ornament is 0.5 ounces and the shipping will be determined for the total weight for shipping.
