New Crossover Art Stack

Whimsically~Wacky~Stacky



This wacky holiday stack is sure to be a big hit with your guests this holiday season!

It cleverly blends both Halloween and Christmas, adding a touch of whimsically~funky fun to your holiday decorations.

Each member of this wacky stack is decked out in winter garb and ready to help you ring in the fall season.

This piece was created by me, using my own hand made paper clay. Once cured, this piece was then hand painted using acrylic paint.

Chalks and oils were then used to create shadows and highlights. Antiquing medium washed over the entire piece brings out all the subtle details.

Finally, a satin sealer was applied to protect the paint and keep the colors vibrant for holidays to come.

This piece was created in my smoke free studio in sunny California, standing a full 15 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

It will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.

All ready for Christmas

Christine and Company





This little snowgirl is all ready for Christmas. She's even got her little kitty all decked out. She's got snowflakes and Christmas lights dangling from her knitted hat, and her kitty has one to match. At the moment she's contemplating where she wants to hang her Christmas wreath.

Christine and Co. were created by me, Kim Owens, using my own handmade paper clay. Once cured the piece was first coated with a layer of Gesso and then handpainted using acrylic paint. Chalks and oils were used to create shadows and highlights, and finally the entire piece was antiqued to bring out all the details. Lastly, the entire piece was coated with a satin finish sealer to protect the finish and keep the colors vibrant for years to come. Christine's Christmas lights and eyes were created using custom colored, or hand painted polymer clay.

Christine and Co. was created in my smoke free studio in sunny California. She stands 11 inches tall by 7 inches deep and will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.

An aHa Challange

Madzy Frightcicle with Shire



As a member of the American Holiday Artists group I was challanged to come up with an Alice in Wonderland inspired creation. Out of that challange came this piece:

Madzy Frightcicle with Shire. Madzy is surveying his little corner of Wonderland with the help of his furry friend. Madzy is secretly hoping that Shire doesn't tire of helping him and disappear before he has a chance to climb back down from the tree.

The spooky tree was created using paper clay over a wire frame. Madzy and Shire were created using custom colored polymer clay. The pieces were then handpainted using acrylic paint and chalks, antiqued and then sealed with a satin sealer to protect the finishes.

Fiona Frightcicle


Fiona Frightcicle has just finished decorating her tree for her favorite holiday, Easter. All her little Easter Egg ornaments are in place and now she just needs the finishing touch, a chocolate bunny tree topper. The only problem is, Fiona is just a tad too short for the job so she's desperately hoping that the tree will bend just a tad farther so she can reach it because she's precariously perched upon an unstable Easter egg.

Fancy Frightcicle


Little Fancy Frightcicle had just begun decorating her tree for her favorite holiday, when she noticed Fraidy Cat stuck at the top. Ducky came by to give her a boost so she could help Fraidy down, but Fraidy doesn't seem to need any help.

Another Frightcicle

Fritz Frightcicle

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Fritz Frightcicle found a bucket of gold coins and has just finished decorating his tree. And now he wants to finish his decorations with his favorite tree topper. A large Shamrock. There's only one problem. He's not quite tall enough and the toadstool he's standing on just doesn't get him quite hight enough. He'll just have to wait until the next breeze brings the top bough a little lower.
