Another new face! This one I used a tsunami cane with red and orange gradient, with transparent white/gold/transparent white swirls. I really like how the petal's came out, even though propping them up was quite a challenge. The leaves are a small simple cane of green and copper. This one is for my friend Cilia who's fighting lymphoma right now, I hope he helps her out! |

These are my polymer clay sculptures and thier inspirations. |

This is my wind chimes finished, there are closeup pictures below of the sun/moon faces at the top. The chimes are copper pipes that hang from a lily pad and lotus flower. This took me a long time to get together but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Click the picture for more. |

This I made for my best friend Nikki. She wanted the moon with lotus flower's and dragonflies. His face and the petals of the flowers I mixed glow-in-the-dark clay in to make it black light responsive and give it more of a nighttime presence, since he is the moon! They were the first flowers I made, and the first flower petal canes I made, and still have. The seed pod's are also canes. |

Here's a green man I made for my friend Megan. He is autumn, so his leaves are changing color. His leaves are inspired from a Staghorn Sumac, my favorite tree, they change to all the brightest fall colors, its branches a furry reddish color like his face. I made a transparent glaze with copper metalic to antique him and took a torch to brown leaf edges. |

This
is eventually going to be wind chimes with copper chimes. He is
the night side, below is the sun. Here I experimented with caning,
for the stars around him, that's my first clay cane. It was pretty
intense and it wasn't exactly how I pictured it but it turned out
sortof dreamy and distorted so I kept it. In the end I like the
effect. He's also my first one with his eyes closed. |

This is the day side of my chimes. He's my absolute favorite! I love his teeth, his bright eyed vibrance, he just cracks me up every time I look at him. His little flame things are my second clay cane, it turned out much better than the first, and i messed around with the shapes of it. I love the teeth... |

This
was my second project. He took me a long time to finish. His leaves
are modeled after a hackberry tree from my back yard, a few of
them i tried pressing the leaf veins into the clay for the texture
but in the end it was just as nice to make it myself. He was made
for my sister, and he brings her personal growth and patience. |

He was my FIRST project. His arms and legs are connected with elastic cord to make him move and position, his head would have moved but it didn't end up that way. He took me 2 weeks to finish, and was pretty frustrating because I didn't know a lot of the things I do now. I gave him to my mom, I think she named him after that bald star trek guy... |

This
guy was an experiment with a lot of things also. The petals are
made of translucent clay, which turned out amazing when you hang
him in a window. My mother-in-law liked the big nosed goblin and
wanted somebody with a big nose of his own, theres an entire ounce
in that schnoz of his... |

This is Skyla Starchaser, she was an experiment with a lot of different things I wanted to try out. She is also my first female sculpture. Her face is transparant, glitter, and metallic clays swirled together. The effect took a bit to figure out and I ended up using a thinly rolled out texture blended in as a veneer. Her teeth were my favorite, teeth are so cute... |
