First, a large plate of a relief carved winter scene with a wolf howling at the moon. It comes wired to hang on the wall but is also ready to serve snacks.
Large bowl, with a relief carved winter scene that includes a fox chasing a rabbit. This matches the wolf plate but both pieces are sold separately.
Next is a new large fox sculpture. I thought it would be fun to photograph it on a stump and managed to find an old one in the woods that fit just right.
Here is the fox relaxing on a lawn chair by the river:
Next two bunnies holding flowers, ready to hold rings or just hang out.
A close up of the bigger bunny.
New fox figurines! Though one of the two standing foxes ended up coming home with me in a box by accident.
A raccoon bowl climbing a fallen tree.
Figurines: a lion, peacock, elephant and hippo to go with the Gayla Peevey Christmas Hippo song that played a few times on CKBW while I was glazing.
Two puffin figurines
A fox bowl
Two relief-carved whale mugs:
Elephant bowl
A sheep bowl
An eagle flying through the forest, or at least that's how it looked after being hung on a tree.
Plates! First, a relief carved puffin plate, which comes wired to hang on the wall but is also ready for a sandwich or what have you.
The rest of the plates are smooth as I thought I'd try painting instead of carving for a change. Blue crab:
Whale:
Lobster:
Pirate flag:
Small whale trinket dishes. I made three of these as an experiment but think it will be a fun product for next tourist season. They are also suitable for dunking sushi pieces in soy sauce.
Another new small product I'd like to make more of, a flounder figurine.
...such a flat fish lends itself to painting messages on the back...
Next is an assortment of brand new brooches, a new product for both Jenny Jib and my art practice. These are all handsculpted, one of a kind - I don't work with any sort of mold, stamp or stencil.
And handsculpted pendants on adjustable leather cords, tied with slip knots.
These are the same two Christmas trees as in the above photo, they just seemed to go with the dove too.
And finally here are ten ornaments.
First, a shark that Jenny immediately called Hilton, I missed the news that there was a celebrity named Hilton the Shark swimming around off the Nova Scotia coast this summer.
Three fish which would probably prefer to be far away from Hilton
An 'orcament'.
And five flat ornaments: 2 whales, a puffin, a dove...
That's it! A very Merry Christmas and/or other winter holiday to anyone checking out this blog! Happy New Year and all the best for 2018!
