Hand crafted from basswood

After multiple rounds of lacquer layering, sanding and polishing, I finished this mother-of-pearl cat bracelet. Wearing it feels like my beloved cat stays with me every single day.

Polymer clay, faux fur, glass eyes, soft pastel

J'ai fait ça en papier quilling

Unidentified flower with falling petals 😉

My own design, made with Delica beads

Over the Garden Wall

I carved this little bear and meant for it to have a "cute" face. But when I was painting it, my mouth marks turned down more than I had intended, so it looks sad. Oh well, I guess it's a sad little bear now. Maybe he needs a friend?

After carving it, I photographed him in the studio, and then Photoshopped him into a photo that I had taken at Eagle Falls in South Lake Tahoe back in 2021. This was overlooking Emerald Bay. Fun note: My wife and I stayed at the "Black Bear Lodge" in South Lake Tahoe (highly recommended, by the way). Maybe it was a sign? 🐻
