Baby octopus and squid on rocks

This is a baby octopus clinging to a rock (or, in this case, a pebble). The baby squid is holding a fish and eyeing it hungrily.

Piled fruit platter

I like to pile fruit, but this may be the most piled piece I've ever made. I hope it looks festive enough for the holidays!

Ericka VanHorn: The Queen of fantastical, magical miniatures and curiosities!

I have long admired the work of Ericka VanHorn. I was introduced to her work years ago, through a shared mutual friend of ours, the great Martha Puff. One look, and you'll see why!! The amount of detail she puts into each piece (and each scene) is nothing short of jaw dropping!!! I'm so happy to see that she has a blog where I can feast my eyes....and what a FEAST!!!

Yep, more meat!!

This is a leg of lamb. I like making my meat exactly the way I like eating it, so it's pretty red/pink ;-). My sister eats hers well done and it makes me gag. Hello, shoe leather??
