Two WIPS for upcoming AHA Marketplace

First is a tiny Kewpie that will have the feathers and beaded necklace reminiscent of prizes given out in early Circus events.
Second is an elephant standing on a ball. Still needs a little more clay, and eye placement  correction.

The winner is

Mila from Tuscany Italy! Thank you for participating in OWOH!

I've cleaned my studio Woo Hoo!!

After the holidays my studio looked like tornado alley! Things were piled up to my nose and covered my floor to the point, one would have thought I was some sort of crazed hoarder. I have changed my piggy ways and totally revamped my storage & studio.  I like to call it "Controlled Chaos".
  I can actually find things now, because .. well it's all sorted, labeled and in containers. So far so good.
I finally replaced my plastic folding table from Costco and invested in a Martha Stewart desk. Her new line of craft units are really awesome, I was going to purchase the MS craft table, however after reading 55 comments on the 100 something parts,  the excessive amount of time and frustration the reviewers stated they experienced was enough to make me rethink that one. I bought the desk instead, the only assembly required was screwing in the legs. That was it! It has turned out to be an excellent choice. It has 2 drawers on the right, which allows me to keep my sculpting tools in the desk and off my work surface. The deep file drawer is now home for sketch books, books drawings. The center drawer, which would be for a computer keyboard is now home to my blank canvases.

 Since I work with clay, paints,glues etc, I opted to have a piece of glass cut for the top. It cleans up easily and protects the desk top.
 And look I actually have space to get some fun stuff done! It's all good! ~Susan
