Pewter Creatures!
Did I tell you I did some pewter casting over the summer? It's a little involved, but very rewarding. Watch this space for a Making Of video!
Pewter Creatures
Making silicone molds from the sculpts.
Getting ready to melt some pewter!
Then and Now
To the left, the very first mouse I've made, a year and a half ago. To the right, now. Not too shabby!
New Series of Reapers
Reaper Famine is now on sale on Etsy!
California Academy of Sciences NightLife
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be vending at the NightLife event at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco on August 27th! I'm making mouse prints just for the occasion!
Steampunk Gun
My first Steampunk gun out of my son's broken Nerf gun. It's fun to work at full-scale for once!
Black Axe Mouse
Commission for a Mouse Guard Black Axe Mouse. I love him! I might make more.
Le Heart Design At Clockwork Alchemy
I'll be vending in person at the San Jose Clockwork Alchemy Convention this Memorial Day Weekend, May 22-25! Come meet the mice!
Little Red Riding Hood Diorama
I had saved one of the Little Reds, knowing I'd want to make a forest diorama for it. Here it is, months later. My first time doing papier maché, too!
Here's a very short turntable for it:
The Captains
This is pure Steampunk. They're all named after famous captains though, check them all out in the gallery!
I made this specifically for the Clockwork Alchemy Bazaar, where I'll be vending through Memorial Day weekend, May 22 to 25, 2015 in San Jose, California. Come meet them in person!

Sherlock Holmes now on Etsy!

I'm getting used to working with fabric, even though at that scale, the draping and fraying is still tricky. Sherlock turned out pretty good though!
Check out all five in the Gallery!
Wild Care Center
I regularly visit the San Rafael Wild Care Center to drop off my mouse bodies, so they don't go to waste.
It was feeding time for the owl, and she gobbled up four mice for her supper. Apparently she always holds on to one of them for a couple of hours after being fed, and they call it her "blanket mouse".
Testing cross-posting
You will feed me now, even though my bowl is full from five minutes ago, but I have Catzheimer's...
Ironing Tiny Shirt
This is for a wedding gift commission, and you don't want a wrinkly shirt...
I'm testing Squarespace
I'm migrating my website to SquareSpace. It certainly looks much nicer than Blogger! I guess you get what you pay for...
I made a new batch of goggles and pipes for Sherlock this week, and about to start on a wedding gift commission!
Little Red Riding Hood
This was a commission, and I absolutely loved the idea, so I made it a series. You can find them on Etsy, and at Paxton Gate.

I wove little baskets out of waxed thread and made loaves of bread out of polymer clay
