Touch of Spring Night Lamp

http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=250794

I was looking around the gallery at some of the great sculptures created by the Polymer Clay Smoosher Guild members (see more here-http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Guilds&op=full_product_gallery&guild_id=20). I found this gorgeous lamp! I love all the little details. I especially love how clean the basket weave lines are. I tried my hand at "clay weaving"...and well.... that little priject is best forgotten! :o)!!! Rosemary is a very talented artist and I am proud to be in a guild that she is also a member of! Below is her information about the lamp. You really should check out all the neat items in her studio!!!

About The Lamp-
ON SALE WAS US $30.00 NOW US $25.00

This is another one of my fun creations. This night light will give a warm glow to any room. The complete design was made with polymer clay over a glass hurricane bulb and wood base. The bright flowers, ladybugs and bumble bees give it that touch of spring all year round. It gives off a warm glow in the darkest of night. The basket was made wih clay . The square base was painted bronze. The finished product was multi-glazed for a brilliant shine and protection. see RfColorfulCreations for more views.
The turn on switch is on a 5' cord. It takes a 5W bulb. It has a polarized plug.
It comes with 2- 5W bulbs.

Measurements- Wood base is a 4"; square. The lamp stands 9" from base to top of bulb and 4" W.

Enchanted Garden Wedding Cake

This is my very first attempt at sculpting a wedding cake with polymer clay. The cake is 1" tall. Unfortunately I did have some red dye (from the roses) transfer onto the white cake. I plan to do some touch up to the cake. I have dusted the cake with white, red, and green shimmer powder pigments. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Rainbow Dragon

This is one of my very favorites!!!!

Rainbow is guarding her three eggs. She is already such a good mommy! Rainbow was created using polymer clay, shimmer powder and glass beads. She has embroidered fairy wings created by Cassie.(Check out more of her stuff-http://www.sewluckyembroidery.com/home.html)

Rainbow is approw 2" tall and 2" wide. She comes with a "Certificate of Authenticity". She is available for adoption on CDHM (www.cdhm.org/user/bgobbleart)

Phoenix The Dragon-Fly

This wee little Dragon-Fly has just fluttered to a stop on my porch railing. He said he is looking for a new home, but he is having trouble finding someone who wants him! This little guy is so sweet! But keep an eye on him because he does like to get into mischief now and then!

He was sculpted using polymer clay, and he has lovely wings made by Pat .

He is for sale at my gallery on CDHM-

Dragon Hair Barrette

This is the very first "BGobbleArt" hair barrette.... ever!!!! I was trying to think of a new way to take these great little friends along with me.... and this is what I came up with!

Pearl the fairy dragon was created using polymer clay. She has glass bead eyes and a tiny freshwater pearl in between her wings. The flower was also created from polymer clay and has freshwater pearls wired into the center. Everything has a been dusted in various shimmer powder colors and is coated in glossy varnish. This barrette is 2" long. This piece is pretty sturdy, but please still be gentle!

You can see more pictures of her on Etsy....
