Meetze in teapots pt. 4

 Hello, reader!

This Meetze hanging ornament is particularly dear to me because I went with painting the animal in dark colours for the first time. And, in my opinion, it turned out great!

I will definitely repeat this with some of my future figurines.

As always, the ornament is from paper clay, painted with acrylics, and sealed with water-based varnish. It is 12 cm tall.

The ornament is for sale and you can buy it here.

I want to make more Meetze in teapots and now I'm thinking about different combinations. Let me know in the comments if you have any ideas to spare!

Until next time...

Meeze in teapots pt. 3

 Hello, reader!

I have more Meetze in teapots :)  This one I personally take to be my most beautiful work thus far. Meet the fox

What makes it pop up is the contrast in colours. Bright orange and purple, with muted green details, proved to be a very distinctive combination.

As always, the figurine is completely handcrafted, sculpted in paper clay, and painted with acrylic paints. It is 10 cm high and has a small hook on the top for making it into a hanging ornament. You can hang it on your Christmas tree or a cabinet door handle, for example.

The item is available on Etsy.

Until next time...

More Meetze in teapots :)

 Hello, reader!

Sticking to the same theme, I have created four more Meetze cuties sitting in teapots. I will introduce them one by one in this and three future posts because I sell them separately (well, some sold already), and this time the figurines are bigger and there are no "common traits" necessarily, like colours, to make them a set. 

Meet the hedgehog holding an apple. 

Obviously, this is a fall-themed figurine, hence the choice of motives and the colour scheme.

I hope you like this little guy! It has a hook, so you can hang it on a door handle of your kitchen cabinet or your Christmas tree, or just lay it on the shelf.

The figurine is made from paper clay, painted with acrylics, and sealed with water-based varnish. It is 10.5 cm in height.

Available in my Etsy shop.

Until next time...

Little blobs of clay... and more

Welcome, reader! 

I love vintage toys and old Christmas tree ornaments. The whole childish, goofy but cute vibe from before I was even born. I adore baroque-like, upcycled, ornate items like mirrors, candle holders, or picture frames. Then there is the steampunk aesthetics that really appeals to me. But I'm keen on watercolour flower and botanical illustrations, surreal oil painting, and circus as a theme in art, too. What a mess I am! 

[Inspiration, not my work, I do not own rights to the following photos or items displayed in them]

Probably that's why I make different things, trying to perfect my own, distinctive way of expression. I have been creating decorative items for years now. It used to be a hobby but it is becoming my more regular occupation.

Lately, I am mainly focused on Meetze, little hanging ornaments that I make from clay and paper mache. They are really cute and invite for a festive, Christmasy mood, and they have a sentimental, dreamy, homey feel to them. 

Here they are, this time two parachutists, a teddy bear and an elephant. 

[The following is my work. I have added the logo to the photos, please do not remove it, otherwise - feel free to share the photos and support my work that way.]

The figurines are so lightweight you hardly feel them in your hand, yet they are solid as a rock. The height without the hanging string is approx. 11 cm. This set is sold, but I can always make a similar one to order (never the same one, though!). So, e-mail me if you would like to place your order, or follow what is available in my Etsy shop! 

Or, tell me how you like my work... well, this smallest portion of it at least ❤  

Until next time...
