Globe Ring: Caty Pury

I was commissioned by a friend to make a globe ring with her beloved cat as the subject.

It took me 2 months to start the project due to some personal affairs which made me busy all throughout the holiday season. Here are some of the pictures of the Caty Pury ring in progress until completion.

SHAKE IT! Salt and Pepper Shakers

During my wedding preparations, I wanted to give handmade gifts to my principal sponsors. I chanced upon these egg-shaped ceramic salt and pepper shakers in a home store and a light bulb lit in my head!


Here are some of the salt and pepper shakers I made:

Watch out for more of these. I may be selling them through my Etsy account, whatcha think?

Mrs. Pepper - A Work in Progress

I am sorry if I haven't got the time to blog about my claying adventures this past few weeks. I have been busy preparing for a special moment in my life and it's driving me crazy!!! I also decided to make handmade souvenirs for some special people who will be celebrating it with me. Well, good luck to me...

On to my topic...I have been an avid fan of Ms. Doreen Gay Kassel's works and hoped that one day I could try and make something, even remotely, similar to hers.

This week, I bought some egg shaped ceramic salt and pepper shakers in Living Well and decided to make creatures of fantasy out of it. Well, it did not turn out the way I was envisioning it. I did try and make a Doreen-creature but I was inspired by my ginger kitten named Tuki. I decided to make him my muse.

It's still a work-in-progress but I love how it turned out. Although I still need a lot of practice in sculpting.

Oh, I also bought myself a new coloring medium which I used with Mrs. Peppers. It's a bit expensive but definitely so easy to use!

Now, back to my creative hole! :)
