Here are a couple of pictures of my pots, and some other crafts.
I painted the pot, but Mr. Funbug made that little clay turtle for me one day when he went to school with Curlybug.
Hand painted clay pots & paper mached pringle can vases & pencil holders. I paint these both free hand and with those little spongy things. In the upper right are anella's (sp) they originated in Hawaii and use garden cuttings and dowells to make little angles.
OK This is my antique birdcage that my mom gave me when I was a kid. I don't really want a real bird so I made my own! I make these little birds mostly as Christmas ornaments. I make them with a modeling medium called crayola model magic. I roll the stuff around in my hands till it looks like a bird, then let it dry, then paint & let dry, then glue on feathers with a hot glue gun.
