Happy Halloween from Duck "It's A Nickname" Newton.
...or a forest ranger, inf you're not a TAZ fan.
Still to add - name tag, Beacon belt, Darryll's Bait and Crossfit t-shirt.

Fifth in a series of Moona ornaments, a tradition that I'm so happy to continue every year. Thanks, Tim!

Found this on the community board of the Y and I have a LOT of questions.

Buffalo Love
Not the topper I'm currently obsessing over, but a cute one that shipped out a few weeks ago.
Also a good reminder that I still have dummy cakes for photography, as much as it is tempting to bake one every time....🍰

Repostober Catch-Up, Day 11 - Yellow Submarine Escape
Another obsession of mine - small scenes in resin, no doubt inspired by @leslielevings.bsky.social's little underwater monster scenes. I still have a giant box of shells, too....

Repostober, Day 10 - Mica Leaf Artwork
I spent a few years obsessed with this technique, pressing leaves into thinly rolled clay and coloring them with mica powder. Spring was "Sparkle Season," and any work caught in the crossfire shone, too.

Repostober Catch-up, Day 9 - Dragon Mountain
Here's another I'd like to revisit with my current skill set to see if I can do a better job conveying the scale of the dragon; I'd like him to look more mountainous, with just a bit of his back above the treeline.

Repostober Day 8 - Nessies in Love
More music boxes - I was a collector as a kid, and obsessed with making them as an adult. Adding movement is difficult - this one, a bottom-wind, is one of the simpler methods for rotation.

There are so, so many ornaments I would bring back if I only had the time, and Giuant Squid is up near the top!

Repostober 6 - Accuracy
Not strictly a piece of art, but this particular "T-Rex" cookie cutter upset me so much that I spent a whole day bending it into something less offensive. Never even used it.

Repostober Day 5 - Boggle Music Box
Perhaps the best example of my "overkill mode", where I made clay mice, painted and decoupaged a wooden box to look like a Boggle game, made custom dice, bulk purchased sand timers, AND added a mechanism with music from The Fantasticks.

Jewelry, a Thing I Used To Make! As you can see, my obsession over teeny tiny detail has always been a factor in my work.

Repostober, Day 3 - Cat Tree Ornament
From 2010-ish, one of my most ambitious early ornaments. I'm not sure I could recreate it now, but it is a hell of a design.

I still love the idea of a little robot playing computer games on its own face.
Please disregard the fact that it's playing Mario with a PS3 controller.

Repostober, Day 1 - Gingerbread Man
From one of my very first craft shows in 2014, notable for the crafter who came up and asked if I was a "miracle", or "breast cancer survivor", his only evidence being my short (not even buzzed!) haircut.
Ornament's cute, though.

I've only made one nude sculpture myself, but I support NSFW artists wholeheartedly, and the upcoming TOS changes are Garbage Town, USA.
