the carpenter and the walrus

who knows and loves the story of the carpenter and the walrus?! well here it is:


i was asked to do a commission of a 4" munnyworld figure and a 3" dunny.  i came up with the idea to recreate the well known story of the carpenter and the walrus.  the beaver is a customized 4" rooz, the walrus is a 3" dunny with it's head turned upside down, making the ears the tusks, and the oyster was fully hand sculpted. it was a very fun one to make so naturally i was excited and proud when this trio's new owner over in italy gave me an incredibly kind and positive response.

i painted this for the ARTWORKS Red Dot Fundraiser:

artists are given 10"x10" stretched canvas to paint or create as they wish.  this is an opportunity to make high quality original art accessible to everyone, a chance for the novice to test the waters of the world of original art and an opportunity for the collector to build their art collection.

halloween treats

thanks to hurricane sandy, halloween has been rescheduled for today.  i figure it's a good day to share my halloween treats this year.


i found a pictures of these bloody cupcakes online and did my best to make them myself.  store-bought candy knives and strawberry syrup blood


brownie graveyard, also found online. i was lazy so instead of making gravestone-shaped cookies, i just used melting candy wafers for the graves. 

peanut butter (eye)balls!  covered and decorated with melted candy wafers

ghost cupcakes i found in a halloween magazine. ghosts made from fondant. i didn't have a rolling pin and didn't follow the directions to make these properly. i winged it, worked well enough!



jackolantern and mummy cake pops. these were a nightmare to make. i've found cakepops to be frustratingly time consuming.  these were supposed to be fast and simple but for some reason i couldn't seem to get the candy wafers to melt properly. at least they still look halloweeny!
