Shawl Pins

I did it! I actually made the shawl pins I mentioned in my previous post. I'm always looking for excuses to pull out my Sculpey stash. I get a ridiculous buzz from making these tiny figures. I always have. But how many wee statues does one house need? Luckily, tis the season for scarves and shawls. So I made these.Of course I made my go-to favorites, a fox and a couple of owls, but I played with some new things too, with certain people in mind. A bunny and a cat for my sisters. A lion and a toadstool for my good friends. A squirrel for my mom.
And, just for me (and for the look on Beckett's face) a stout little walrus, tusks and all. I'm going to put him through some quality control testing and if he withstands it, these will be the perfect little somethings extra to go with my holiday gifts.

  7. I SO love this idea and would like to try making some flower ones. What did you use for the pointed "stick" part? Did you have someone make them for you?
