To celebrate Easter, I’ll post my most Easter-y creations. A totally handmade Carrot Cake polymer clay charm on a necklace with a tiny silver fork charm! I was craving carrot cake so on a whim, I just whipped this little fella up. Also, I included tiny speckled light blue robin egg earrings (they’re about a quarter of an inch tall)!
I don’t know when I’ll get to make more of these charms or anything else for that matter! I’m in the middle of a few custom orders, out in the field this week for desert riparian (river) bird surveys, and preparing for the Los Angeles Derby Dolls Vendor Village. The derby is really fun and except for the fact that Jay drinks most of my earnings in Tecate and eats them in pizza and hot dog on a stick… I do pretty well there.
Until later!

I finished these about a week ago, but finally took some pictures! I was preparing for the Silverlake Art, Craft and Vintage Market and was also listing a bunch of new stuff on my Etsy store. I didn’t make the crazy pink Sno Ball cakes and that will be later (possibly this weekend…). I did, however, make yellowy vanilla and chocolate Zingers with the authentic “plasticky” icing that you can peel off and use as a replacement for wallpaper adhesive. I also had to make some Twinkies with toasted bottoms and the three spots on the bottom where they inject the creamy white filling stuff!
I absolutely have to mention a fellow Etsean that sells the absolute most awesome-est cards! They’re kind of Terry Gilliam-esque – remember the intros to Monty Python’s Flying Circus? These way-too-funny cards are by Frantic Meerkat. This is my favorite card, I just haven’t found the right person to send it to! 
Until later!
