New Cat Commissions Completed



Three cats owned by a friend. She gave these portraits to her husband for their anniversary. 
I used real fur from each cat in it's portrait.

This is Jooge. His stripes were a fun challenge!

This is Tyson. I loved creating this pose. So inspirational.

This is Tailhook. Sadly, she passed away in 2011.

I was about to give up sculpting cats as they had been quite difficult. However, working on these helped me become more acquainted with the form of felines. So, I'll keep taking commissions for cats. :-)

Just A Little Press

This article ran in my local weekly entertainment guide. Andrea Brill interviewed me and did a wonderful job writing this article. She's a wonderful writer and great person.  Enjoy!

My Sheepies!!

Last night I made some "toys" for my sheepies! This morning I took them out to their mobile shelter and tied them around. Really, just a couple of empty milk jugs and a couple of old tennis balls attached by nylon cords. Of course they were rather sheepish about having strange things in their pasture! Silly sheepies! But then they started nudging them around with their curious noses. If sheep can have fun, mine were doing just that!
