Classic Juggling Dog

This is a new balancing and juggling dog - this time she is juggling 4 rolling-pins - at the same time balanced on an upside down cup. This piece is about 12 inches tall, made from Vermont pine and cedar.

Dachshund - juggling

This Dachshund is very talented - his name is Pretzel and he is juggling 3 balls while balanced on one leg. his ears are made of leather - he stands about 13 inches tall (at least vertically!)

Dog Box

This wooden box is the base for a small juggling dog. He is juggling 3 hearts - looking up with a nice smile. The box is made of wood - bottom lined with felt and measures about 8 X 6 X 3 inches - the dog is about 4 inches tall.

Blackbird on Wheels

A new piece - this is an antique looking black bird set onto wheels. She has beautiful glass pendant 'wings' and an interesting metal bead eye. About 8 inches tall.

Trout

This is a new piece - a little different from the usual but lots of fun to make.

Someone recently showed me their collection of fish folk art and I was inspired!

This trout is about 10 inches long and sits on a wood ball base that is painted in blues and greens.

New Angel Folk Art Doll

This is a new folk art doll angel! She stands about 7 inches tall and has a great face - just like you'd expect from an angel.

The colors are earthy and complement each other - one of Marlene's gifts is her choice of color, fabric and texture.

A few fancy buttons are sewn onto her dress and she has a little lace collar.

Acrobat Dog

This piece is re-worked from an original I made a few years ago - I love those but the original dog was not quite right.

This time around I changed the barrels - made them tipped - and the dog is re-done.

I also painted a big gold star on the base.
