I have decided to list a new piece of jewelry a day in my Etsy shop: http://basilthecat.etsy.com until December 31st. Here is my first entry. A beautiful handmade vintage terracotta necklace. I've never seen such a unique necklace before. The earthy texture is amazing and it's so versatile. I think...
i made a little squid brooch last night out of Sculpey clay! i'm still deciding whether or not i want to paint him. =] he even sports little suction cups, badass!
OK, so sorry - I have been delinquent in writing! SO very wonderfully busy this whole year! Grace is growing - STILL - I will post pictures of her later....we just got home from a wonderful trip to the Rocky Mountains with my brother and my sis in law - I always leave a part of my heart behind when...
Life is real, life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal From dust thou art to dust returnest Was not written of the soul. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow For some reason I memorized that quote in middle school, and it remains implanted in my brain. It often emerges in the swirls of clay dust which...

I just picked up Rosie O'Donnell's Crafty U from the library, and I must say, it is absolutely worth paying full price for. My kids are way too into this: ... and not enough into non-brain-shrinking activities. Enter CRAFTASTIC SUNDAYS! I decided that the entire family should craft together on...
When I went to college at USC from 1991-1995, I got really into ceramics... no, not the white premade pieces like in pottery stores. I mean, making the clay by hand, making the glaze by hand, and building all the pieces one by one. Clay you sculpt, can be an art form, not a craft. Some people say...
I'm still trying to get plenty of rest this past week from my back injury, so I haven't been able to make or post any new work lately. Today I was feeling a bit better... I was actually able to sit at my desk for an hour until I had to get up and move around. After sitting in the same position for...
I have finally gotten around to taking some photos of the slab-constructed sculpture I've been working on for several months. This is my first slab piece, and it's been an adventure!
