Scherenschnitte Trees of Life

Just some life trees I've done.

This is what I imagine living in a neighborhood tree would be like.  :)

These are just some of the people I've run across in my life (the big guy is Bill :).

Experiments in Paper Clay

I got the "clay bug" a couple of weeks ago and decided to see what I could do with it.  I originally wanted to try to make hand beads/charms but could never get the fingers just right.  :)  So I decided to try faces and made some really primitive looking ones.  I tried to make their expressions as different as possible so they wouldn't all look the same. 

I made some fish cabochons as well as an ATC out of paper beads, complete with a paper tree and paper clay leaves.  I think I'll sit down today and try another one.
