Pirate-Cake #2! It’s been confusing to people, that they are called Pirate-Cakes, people keep asking if they are edible…(which would be cool, but they’re not!) they are sculptures of a line of characters I drew named pirate cakes after the stick figures my sister ( aka *Mary-Cakes!) draws! ^_^
Anyhow, this one was made using wire under his arms, legs & antlers and it came out much better than the dowels used for this one. I also used wooden beads for his eyes as opposed to plastic eyes. I wanted a more irregular shape to them and these worked well! I can’t seem to get the clay as smooth as I’d like it… I would really love to find a better way to make the basic shape… some sort of mold that I could use to keep them exact and not limit the addition of things like antler’s and such… not sure what medium would work best for that, but I am going to look into it.

I did not get to update the shop last Monday as I was sick in bed with a fever +, however I did get a couple of new things in the shop including the much anticipated and requested “fill-in-the-blank calling cards!

There are 4 different designs to choose from and 8 different color combos! You can order them in sets of 10 cards for only 5 bucks, and if you order 4+ sets you get a cute little tin to carry them in for free! You even get to choose the character that will adorn the front! Would you like to see the tin for sale separately? Here’s your chance to let me know! Also, I will update the rest of the new stuff this Monday!

Here’s a little peak at some custom postcards I have been working on for Liz at Chatti Patti. I just got them back from the printer and they are so adorable! She’s super talented and was such a pleasure to work with, I feel blessed to have such amazing clients! Also in this pic is my little area around my computer, and my favorite drink! Mmmmmmm Cran-Rasberry Juice…so so good!
