Sculpey

Sculpey is a great alternative to kiln fired clay, I have been using it for the past couple of years to make gifts for the holidays. It's fun to make various canes. These pieces are small (maybe 2").

quail

goldfish with marble bubble

seaturtles

bunnies

frogs with flies

sweater bunnies
seahorses

owls
birds


Scroll Saw


The first thing I made with the scroll saw were jigsaw puzzles - spent most of the time sanding the pieces, but they're interesting to reassemble. Now I use the scroll saw to recycle old pieces of wood into ornaments. I didn't take as many photos as I should, these are the puzzles prior to painting.

butterfly and fish, approx. 7" wide


snail (and some clay bugs)
recycled wood into planter ornaments

Ceramics

I had a ceramics pottery class in college and the professor was so nice that I could use the kiln for my own stuff on the weekend. These were made 1990-1991 with cone 6 bisque clay. They are hollow inside and painted with acrylics. I kept the size small to fit into the kiln shelf (under 12 inches).

2 dragons, unicorn, 3 armored horses, small angel bunny, small griffon, small unicorn

2 seahorses, dragon, 2 unicorns, 2 griffons

Glass and Mirrors

These are the few photos I have of etched mirrors and sandblasted glass, made 1991- 1994. I used pearl and glitter acrylic paints for the mirrors.

Hi, a note about my artwork.


What is this icon?  

I use this as a stamp/watermark on my pictures. They are my initials TSI that are made to look like a kanji character. My hobbies consist of variety of craft materials (clay, wood, yarn, paper, etc), drawings and 3d renders.

Happy browsing!
