AUTUMN

Thanksgiving was the inspiration for this one. It's a favorite of mine because I just loved the way the pie came out. It looks exactly like pumpkin pie. This one is from last year because I would take it to shows, look at it, and like it so much I would not put it out (great selling technique)

The little hay bale, 3" x1"x 1/2" purchased at a craft store can give you an idea of size, and also a cute idea for what to do with a seasonal pin when it's not being worn!
 
He and the black cat magnet, below, make a cute team, another display idea.
 

This perky cat in boot pin, shown displayed on a miniature hay bale, is a flexible design because it is suitable for Fall or Halloween. It was so popular I now also offer it in magnet size. It can come with or without the leaf. Without the leaf it is suitably cute for Fall, Winter and all the way through mud season in the Spring.

Round-body Backpacker Bunny  goes especially well in Fall display, and popped into the picture to add an idea of scale. $38

Not a holiday carving by itself, but when paired with mice pins from any  of the holidays it make a cute display. Shown here eyeing the pumpkin pie, or perhaps the mouse holding it.

 CHRISTMAS and WINTER SEASON

This small series of Sculpture-Magnets began when designing a Wreath Holding Mouse for the express purpose of use in a photograph on the publicity posters for the Old Deerfield Christmas Sampler show in 2007.

 Photography can only see a sculpture from one side, so, to get the maximum cuteness for a photo the format of a magnet works best. Designing a magnet is much like drawing,  there is one viewpoint and all the lines and details are planned for best effect to give the illusion of being three-dimensional. Then the design/drawing is then further enhanced by adding the depth of the carving.

I started adding things, the wreath, the candy canes in pockets, that took these beyond what is normally considered a magnet. Thus the "Sculpture-magnet" designation. Displayed on a narrow shelf,  window sill, or framed (see Magnets for how to do this) this format is most effective.

MAGNET MOUSE AND PAPER MACHE SNOWMAN

Meet "Toothy" and "Lumpy". Two little goofballs. I think Toothy forgot to wear his retainer and Lumpy the snowman has an abnormally skinny neck. Nevertheless they got together, and have  become friends. Must go together and selling at a two for one price.  Toothy is magnet backed so can stand, or be an ornament. Lumpy is paper Mache and can stand or be an ornament.

$21 for both
