Hand Carved Characters: Week Two

I'm keeping up with the #CarveDecember challenge.


It's been wonderful thinking up a new character each day :-)

Lots of weird and wonderful lives in my head.

And I've enjoyed bringing those characters to 'life'...
or at least to rubber.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Warmly,
Nicole

It's #CarveDecember

CarveDecember created by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer  of Balzer Designs is easily my favorite challenge of the year.

This is my third time participating and for an added layer of excitement I decided to do all original characters that I might merge together into an art journal style picture book. 

It's scarily ambitious :-)

Here's my first two:



Jerry



Kenneth' mad scientist turned astronomer searching for a girl with galaxies in her eyes.

Mushroom Gift Toppers


These were such a blast to make. 
And so simple I did them sick in bed.

Add an eyescrew to a half ball.
Paint.
Glue to candle cup.
Varnish tops with sparkle Mod Podge
Thread with bakers twine.

See... easy :-)
