I made this little wall sconce while I was in high school. It’s hanging in my mom’s upstairs bathroom. A few leaves have broken off through the years, but it’s not in too bad a shape. I’d like to work with clay again and make another one, doing more detailed leaves.

Yay! I pretty much spent the whole weekend at Scrappers Gallery. As usual, I spent more time talking than scrapbooking. Still, I’ve done a few more layouts for my “Our Critters” mini album.
You can see the rest of the pages at Flickr by clicking the thumbnail of this Queen Hattie Cat thumbnail. The pictures aren’t very good since they were scanned on a flatbed scanner and the 3D portions of the layouts make for some blurry spots behind them. I will photograph the pages once the book’s done.

I’m putting together an 8×8″ album just for photos of our pets. This is the opening page. I made the dog out of leftover scraps of mulberry paper, gluing the tiny bits onto a drawing I made first. His eyes are two small brads, partially covered with mulberry paper pieces. I’m tickled with how he came out!
