Happy Toadstool Friends

I've been cleaning my studio and trying to complete items that haven't received all of my love or attention. I made these mushroom guys ages ago but wasn't completely happy with them. They'd wobble and their tops refused to stay put.

During my cleaning I rediscovered them and FINALLY got them sorted out. Their tops are now firmly in place and they are far happier paired in a tiny mossy plot than they were plonked on a surface.

They're made of polymer clay and sit on a mound of real and artificial moss.

I do think they're much happier together.

Just look at how content they look nestled next to one another!

Except this dude. This guy wants to smell the summer air and feel the sunshine in solitude thank-you-very-much.

All the toadstool guys are available in my etsy shop HERE

  3. I love these! Will there be a tutorial? I've been looking for something I could make for someone with my own hands (for a more personal touch). I think they'd love these.

  5. I am SO glad to see these getting their moment in the sun! So lovely and I adore the new bases you've created for them! It also inspires me to look at some of the "not quite" pieces around our studio. . . there are many. :( Thank you for the inspiration and the magic!
