League of Extraordinary Felines

Having been dragged kicking and screaming into steampunk by Christi, I find that I now really enjoy it, so I'll be creating with gears for a while. At the IPCA retreat, we had a competition to embellish a small round tin. I decided to do a steampunk cat because I hadn't seen one before. Well, one thing led to another, and with the advice of Rob Yost of Polymer Clay Express, I created... Macavity! He is the companion of Professor James Moriarty. Do not call him a nice kitty.

He is going to have nemeses though- The League of Extraordinary Felines will oppose his evil schemes. Look for Cheetah, the Kitten of Dorian Gray, Lucy, and others to appear!

He will have

Speedy Steampunk!

This is Speedy the Steampunk Dragon. He is a member of the SteamPunk Delivery Service (SPDs) so everyone calls him Speedy. Right now he has to deliver this important mineral to a very important scientist so he can make a very important potion in his super secret lab on a super secret island. He doesn't have time to talk so bye!

(I made him in a workshop with Christi Friesen)

Looking forward to July!

Definitely looking forward to July- I've got a great idea for a project to share at the International Polymer Clay Association retreat! I got a brand new pasta machine- thanks Mona! and am ready to show off my stuff. Christi Friesen will be there (note to self - bring much chocolate) and I am looking forward to it.

It's nice to have something to look forward to, since they just closed all the schools in our district for a week - 1 confirmed and several probable cases of H1N1, so everyone gets to stay home until the little buggies die on the surfaces.
