Wow, what a long over due post! I'll try to get caught up soon. I haven't made a ton of things this fall, and I get so hung up on taking pictures. Not even so much taking the pictures, but actually taking the time to put them on my computer and sort through them! Enough excuses I suppose.


Back in September I made myself a new keychain. When I first saw Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie children's books, I thought that Elephant looks just what Henry would look like if you drew him as a children's book character. I mean that in the most loving way, in that Henry is the most adorable nerd you'll ever get to meet. I decided to pay homage, and make myself a keychain of Elephant. We took this picture after using the keychain for a while, so its a little beat up. But its still pretty cute right? I made the head out of sculpey, added the glasses out of wire and sanded it as smooth as I could get it after baking it. 


For Henry's birthday, I thought I'd make a keychain for him as well (this shows how late I am in making this post!) I wanted something to make him smile so I made a walrus. We've had an inside joke about walruses since high school, and have collected them ever since. Again, the picture was taken after a few months of use. Maybe I should add a layer of glaze to these so that they would be a little harder and scratch resistant.
