The Hairy Vampyre Toad.
This freaky toad creature uses the hooked wiry hair to ensnare its prey as you will find if you try to pet it or if you are wearing a sweater when you are near it. Once ensnare it can be hard to disentangle. Beware the fangs.

Here is a pitcher of skull bouquets. A limited number of bouquets will soon be available in my Etsy shop. These beauties have been created by repurposing an old large tin container.

Here is a new creation being added to the Etsy shop soon. A little vintage pitcher with tiny lavender blooms

Spiders hanging out in the sunshine during photo shoot a few days ago.

It has been a few decades since I last read it, but I always loved the book Charlotte's Web. It has inspired me to make a number of different spiderwebs over the years and they are always a much desired creation.

Well it is finished. Here is Puppy on its first trip outdoors

It has feet.... now where did I put the rest of the head?

Hmm... a new project in the works. I wonder what kind of creature it will become?

Here is a newly finished bird. He stands about 18" tall

Here is the new little bird. Finished and ready to fly away.

Looking a bit more bird-like today. Almost finished!

Here is the new little bird looking a bit more like a bird. The metal is now feathers, the piece of wood has a bird shape and the forks are freaky feet.

This is a bird. It just does not know it yet. More in-progress photos to come!

"Mosquito Incubation". This year's batch of mosquitoes.

Look what hatched in my shop the other day. Huge mosquito. It is about 16" long.
