A Taste of Warmth in Winter | Teacup Sculpture
Sold out
A paper and clay sculpture inspired by the beautiful fragrant winter blooming 'paperwhite' narcissus bulbs I had growing in my home over this past month, adding spring and warmth into the house. They had soothing presence, with a similar essence to drinking tea during this chilly season. The flowers had faded quickly but have left in their wake the inspiration and frozen-in-time paperwhites in actual paper, to enjoy this taste of winter's warm beauty year-round.
As paperwhites can grow in water and rocks, I've placed the crafted paperwhites inside a teacup filled with quartz and resin for a water-like effect. The porcelain teacup and saucer are vintage and made in Japan. I have permanently attached them together for the safety of the piece. The pale snail is sculpted with clay and holds a cruelty-free, naturally foraged real snail shell.

Young Moonlit Dreams III | Glass Shadowbox
A continuation of the moonlight dreamer series. The first was a wolf cub, second a hare, and now I present a dreaming raccoon. Inspired by a leucistic raccoon named Bowie at a rehabilitating/sanctuary zoo (Big Bear Alpine Zoo) in the mountains near my home.
The unearthly blue glow near the raccoon's head is from a moonstone. The adularescence is created from light scattering between microscopic layers of feldspar. The "fur" on little Bowie was created from down feathers courteously provided by my parrot, Lily, from her natural molt cycles. The flowers are baby's breath, and the cushion moss is real and preserved.
Materials & Measurements:
Hand-sculpted and painted raccoon
Moonstone
Preserved cushion moss and dried baby's breath flowers

Glow in the Dark Mushroom Cluster
Sold out
Here’s a wee bit of mushroom magic for you. Be sure to click on more of these images to see these little ones light up. I've made these in hopes of cheerfully lightening up your garden pots, terrariums, houseplants, fairy gardens, whatever you can think of! They each have wire at the base for support. I made a few sets for my houseplant pots and terrariums a couple months ago, and I can confirm, they certainly have added a touch of magic to the spaces, especially when the lights turn off and the glow comes to life for a short but sweet time.
I have used a UV black-light flashlight for the glow in the dark photos, however a normal light or sunlight will charge these little ones up to glow in darker spaces for several minutes.
A set of five mushrooms in varied sizes to form a natural appearing cluster or to display however you'd like. The glow has a green tone.
Materials & Measurements:
Hand-sculpted glow in the dark polymer clay mushrooms
Wire support
Set of five mushrooms in varied sizes (.75" - 1.75")
Consistent shapes to the mushrooms depicted in the photos
Packaging:
This set of mushrooms will be lovingly wrapped and packaged with environmentally sustainable and recycled materials, ready for gifting to that special someone or as a sweet treat to yourself.
