The Challenge

Good morning everyone! For those people who are not following me on Facebook. I have entered a challenge, for the first time in my life. What?  It is a mixed media challenge ( so you can use anything to create your work of art). For me the first choice is paper clay. 

These are a few of my ideas, quick sketched so I don't forget, lately this happens often. The nice thing about sketches is that you can always return to your sketch book and come up with another idea at a later date.

This is the start of the paper mache,  I have been in a very mousy mood lately so I had to 

add a mouse.

Then of course the three elements which are part of the challenge, Witches hats, Black Cats, and broomsticks.

The due date is July 31st. 

If you would like to follow me on facebook follow the link, and ask to be friends.

I will friend you ASAP.

Have a wonderful day, back to Winkling!        K.

Craving Spring

Some of the new listings on Etsy

 I am truly craving Spring! I heard birds singing the other day when the sun was shining. I love the smell of the damp earth when things start to warm. 

 But, I see no sign of the snowdrops so we have a few weeks yet.

Mandrake Root

Mandrake root 

is an adorable pencil holder. 

Inspiration: Harry Potter. Caution when you pull the mandrake remember to wear your ear muffs. They scream terribly loud. 

Pumpkin Sit-upon's

It's almost here, time for pumpkins! 

Personally, my favorite time of year.

The colors of the leaves, the pumpkins and of course Halloween.

I still need that cauldron for the front yard.

New Winkles

This section of the blog (Winkles) will eventually feature all the new Winkles available.

As for now all the Winkles are new! 

The first full opening event will be at Whispering Pines in October. 

So far these little creations are a success. At 1824 Walker House Antiques a small display was shown and they all found new homes. Which made me very happy!

You may purchase or get a preview of them now at:
