This is Halloween!


I have been very bad about maintaining my Blog! So no candy for me this Halloween, but on the other hand, I have been busy creating! Check out my Facebook page, Darbella Designs to see all the little projects I have been working on this past year.

I'm Baaaaaaaack......


Wow, it has been so, so long since I have been on my blog! I really have a hard time trying to manage all the sites that have my info or items for sale. Perhaps I shall make a to-do list with a different day assigned to each one! YES, I think I will try that. In the mean time, I am enjoying my summer with my art and my many animals, but for now, I will just post a recent creation to start the ball rolling. (the appropriate phrase for this piece, seeing as she is a full figured gal!)

WOW, long time, no see!


WOW, I cannot believe it has been a year since my last post here. I really must have been busy, but do I have anything to show for it? Maybe a few things which I will post more of soon. I have been so busy with chickens lately that I loose track of time, but with the snowstorms we have had over the last couple of weeks, it is giving me time to catch up on my pages all over the internet. Hopefully I will be able to post on a more regular basis as my hours at wotk have been cut back. A victim of the economy, but I am not going to let it get me down. I will work on making more items to post for sale on my etsy.com shop.

New Year, New Creations


I am a little late with this New Year's wish, But I wish I could remember to come here to my blog and add something every day. If not every day, then at least I hope to show you something new every week! So today, I will begin with this little steam punk chameleon. He is fashioned in the style of a carousel animal, holding onto the famous "brass ring" we all tried so hard to grab as a child! Here's to our happy remembrances of our childhood, and may we be happy in this New Year, 2010.

Kool Ghoulz!!!!



One night a few weeks ago when my friend Christi Friesen was here at my studio teaching an awesome workshop, we stayed up late after class and I was watching her twist out little shapes of Glow-in-the-Dark clay. One by one these adorable little monters were being created, so I asked her if she minded if I gave it a whirl? So the two of us grown adult artists sat there laughing our heads off as these little ghoulish creations emerged! I have a line of Kool Katz that are featured on HGTV's "That's Clever" and each one sits atop a glass ice cube, so I thought to myself that I should put a little of my own spin on Christis ghouls that she was kind enough to let me mimmick! So thus were born "Kool Ghoulz"! And let me tell you something, that glow in the dark clay...it glows for a long time! They are for sale in my etsy shop...seller ID, "kissmystamp".

Oh Boy...where do I begin???



WOW!! It seems like forever since my last post here. I really need to get more faithful as I know a lot of my friends like to see what I have been up to. It was a very bad summer here in NH eatherwise, but I still managed to get in my share of outdoor activities! Mainly, raising chickens! LOL
But here we are at my favorite time of year, Halloween, and I will try and post a pic a day of my halloween projects I have been working on. One of my favorites that I have done is "Bat-thomomew, the keeper of time". I created him at the request of my friend Christi Friesen for a chance to be in her upcoming new Steampunk book, due out in December....I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

Raising chicks and Claying....


I have been busy with a new hobby, well, it is turning into another little buisness venture (if I can ever part with them). I bought an incubator and started hatching Malaysian Seramas! They are the worlds smallest chickens and they are so cute! The problem is that I want to keep them all! So to help defray the feed costs, I started to create Poultry Pendants....check them out on my etsy shop (shop ID kissmystamp) here is the link:
