Dragonfly Vases

Dragonfly Vases are a one of a kind art piece.
Each vase is hand painted. Clay is then sculpted onto the painted glass to create metal looking flowers, leaves and vine designs.
Whimsical dragonflies are then applied bringing life to the vase.When the clay has hardened a patina is added giving the vase its lustre.

Palm Dragons

Palm Dragons are the smallest dragons in the world.
They are so small they could curl up comfortably in the
palm your hand.
Always on their guard they wrap themselves tightly around their favourite found treasure; with their tails perfectly curled to
show off its magnificence!
A seashell or a river stone, or even a colourful piece of glass
is all it takes to keep these little creatures happy.
Palm Dragons are one of a kind miniature clay sculptures.
They have hematite eyes and their bodies are embellished with
shells, semi-precious gem stones or glass beads.
$20 - $68  Please check my Etsy store for available dragons!

Goblin Goblets


Deep in the Glens of Burnie live many interesting creatures and beasties.
Among them are the Moon Goblins!

Just after dusk ‘til long before dawn, the Moon Goblins emerge from their lairs among the bulrushes, humming and chanting their secret rituals. An enchanted expression falls upon their faces as they sip potions from ancient goblets and chalices, that I am sure their ancestors had stolen from kings and queens of long ago.
No one knows exactly what they celebrate. Nor, has anyone ever overheard what they chant. You see, our ears are not as delicately tuned as theirs, and perhaps it’s just as well.
After each gathering the goblets and chalices are left behind, hidden among the rushes, beside rocks and under branches. If your timing is right and you are lucky enough to find one, I have only a single suggestion. Beware! Sip only the occasional potion from its rim, for it has touched goblin lips!
Most prefer to use their goblet or chalice as a luminaire, using a tea candle or floating candle inside, while others protect their treasure, displaying it as a rare and unique art piece.
Above all protect it from goblin eyes!
The Moon Goblins will now be attracted to your lair and will try to steal back what is theirs. ©

Dragon Tibias

These new characters are called
"Dragon Tibias".
I have sculpted them individually out of a mixture of coloured clays, then I embellish them with semi-precious stones, crystals, or beads. Their eyes are made of hematite.
I have formed them around a "tibia shell" and they have a hemp string so they can hang on a tree, wreath or a cabinet handle. There are many differant places they could make themselves at home!
