A Lot of Creativity from "A Little Character.com"

I am loving these creative "characters" from ALittleCharacter.com where the artist creates everything from dragons, to gypsies, to (my personal favorite) pickle angels.  Here is a description of how these wonderfully creative characters were born....

...all handmade, UNIQUE, original items that are perfect gifts for people because you know not every one and their neighbor is going to have the same thing. These items make stand out gifts, not easily forgotten.
I make and sell everything from zombie magnets, superhero pickle ornaments, Sucrose kids (sugar high little critters), abandoned jack-o-lanterns and of course the occasional pink kitty. I make castle topped mountains with secret compartments, elegant angels and dragon ornaments too.

I am drawn towards clay as my medium but other bits and pieces always find their way into my sculptures. A bit of paper that cries out to be a jacket, a scrap of cardboard that wants to be a hat, a gorgeous blue glass bottle that turns out is actually a gypsy's body...just waiting to be finished. So I have accepted that I am actually a mixed media artist. If I can glue it, wire it, paint it, sand it or attach it to a clay sculpture in some way then chances are I'm going to do it. I like to think it gives a little more depth to a clay figure, a little more...dare I say it? Character! That's what I'm all about, making little characters that are fun or funky.

 

If they make me smile then I'm pleased and if they wind up in a good home, so much the better.
I have 15 years of hands on craft-ing and art-ing experience and 15 years of *practice* before that. Oh dear....I've just given my age away......

Martha Move Over…*My* New Favorite’ist Thing

So - it's Friday night and I am bored out of my mind.  What's a girl to do?  Shop!  =) So - I click on my favorite place in the whole wide web - Etsy.com and find these sweet little pottery pieces featured on the front page. 

I was supposed to be shopping for a baby gift for my sister-in-law...but was sidetracked by the little "delight" dish that would be the cutest little holder for my earrings, necklaces and lip glosses.

Apparently - it's all about *me* tonight. Anyway..thought I'd share my new favorite'ist super dooper cute thing with you. Leesa Brinkley's store - handgrown pottery and check out all of the sweet and unique pottery designs.
