We are working on today....

 

...TURKEYS!!

 It's turkey day here at the studio. We love these little gobblers and we were just thrilled when our mini turkey sold out fast with the launch of our Halloween collection back in September. 

But after receiving many emails requesting more we decided to swirly up a new batch before turkey day.  So everyone who has already placed your order we will be in touch next week to let you know when you can expect your little turkey or turkeys.  

Have a great weekend! Gobble Gobble!

These are our Swirly turkey ornaments waiting for their painted touches.

Our popular turkey holders with their newly revised swirly holder.

Gobble these up before they are gone

Thanks for all the nice feedback we are getting for the Turkey greeting holder we created for Polyform. We are so happy people are enjoying the how-to projects we are making.
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays to decorate, even if it's only up for a few weeks.

We couldn't help ourselves and went a little over board making the samples so we thought we would offer a limited number of these little turkeys to you. Perfect for a hostess gift or to display family photos (see below) along your table. The Turkeys are all SOLD OUT!

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Holiday How-to Thanksgiving: Let's talk some turkey!

Thanksgiving Treat!
Here is another seasonal how-to project we created with Polyform for their website.
Take a little break from all that cooking preparation and try making one or all of these designs to adorn your Thanksgiving table.

Even though we called these place card holders they are so versatile and can be used for many creative holiday ideas like... for a menu card for your buffet station or dessert table to identify your pies or you can display family photos along your table runner or just as a Thanksgiving greeting.

How neat would these make for a house warming gift to celebrate the Autumn season.


You can create just one turkey or even better a whole rafter of them. Your guests will be so impressed knowing you made these yourself.


Make a half dozen of these cute acorns to showcase your kids' artwork along your table.


Make one on these Pilgrim hats for each place setting or have your guests write down all the things they are thankful for and display them.

We would love to hear your thoughts on this how-to project. You can leave a comment below or on our facebook page.

And for any of our clay-challenged followers—who we love very much ;)— we did create a few extra Turkeys holders that we will we have for sale this Friday on our website!

Gobble... Gobble... Gobble!

What we are working on

Happy Friday everyone! It's such a beautiful day here. Nice breeze coming through the studio window, and we're listening to some soothing music ahhhh. But really it's the calm before the storm as they say....

This will be an extra busy weekend for us here. The kids are away (Yipee!) for the weekend so we really need to work extra hard and accomplish as much as we can in a short time. The studio is full of fall ornaments waiting to be painted and tiles full of ornaments waiting to be swirled so we can can bake them. We are the thick of creating our new Halloween/Autumn 2011 collection.

We are also working with Scupley (the material we use to make our ornaments) on a fun spooky how-to project that will come out in September. So we have to make the project in many stages so we can photograph it. Hopefully we will have nice weather for the pictures sake:)

And after all that we will be transforming our studio into a winter wonderland for an upcoming photoshoot. Crazy we know, but we still wouldn't trade it for anything.


Our growing pile of new designs waiting to be sanded so we can start painting.


Our swirly turkey is making another appearance this season.


We are trying something a little different with a few of our ornaments.
Can you tell what (or should we say who?) these are going to be?

Here is a closer look. If all goes as planned you will see them in this years Halloween collection.

Look who stopped by the studio today

We were greeted today at the studio by some feather friends... Mr. & Mrs Turkey and their two little turklets (what are baby turkeys called anyways?)!

They must have gotten wind that we were busy working on our new fall ornament collection and stopped by to check up on our progress.




We by no means live in the country or even farmland to witness this odd site. So to see these large birds just causally walking around our yard is just a little weird.





They even left us a little, well actually rather large, gift. I think they were mad that we weren't making more Thanksgiving designs. Yes, we're sorry but we had to post actual turkey poop. Gross I know!

Gotta love the turkeys! Come back in a few weeks to see the final designs.
Gobble Gobble!
