5 out of 5 starsIf I could give this 1000 stars, I would in a heart beat. Maria is fantastic at communication and incredibly talented not only in the sculpture itself but in giving me something that truly represents the couple.

5 out of 5 starsI was very happy with these cute little water jars that I used to make my Atrium dioramas look more lived in.

Custom Ornaments and Toppers
Clay, Clay, Clay!
I love the feel, the colors, the imagination...and the smiles finished creations create!
My adventure with clay began over 20 years ago with beanie baby look-a-likes, then custom creations for friends and family, and then nativity sets. Custom creations (ornaments, cake toppers, and nativity additions) have continued to be a personal favorite of mine because each figure has a new and special story.
I then began creating saint figures for family members and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd sets for an atrium at a school where I worked. While designing and sculpting these figures, I developed my personal style and finally felt like I was doing valuable work. Both are such blessings that have led me to expand my hobby and be able to stay home with my kiddos and sculpt after they go to sleep!
The figures are made with colored polymer clay (not painted clay). No molds are used other than shaping with my own two hands...this makes each figure truly unique! Although I strive to keep each figure simple rather than distracting, I pay special attention to detail...somehow the clock speeds away while I inspect each figure before firing them in the oven!
"Whatever you do, do all for the glory of God." -1 Corinthians 10:31

Shop policies
There are so many possibilities with clay! This shop began with many paths and as I venture down each one, I trust in God to guide my hands in the direction that will bring the most joy.
Choose from...
...A saint statue that appeals to a child's imagination, initiates conversations about faith, teaches little hands to be gentle and respectful, and provides time for prayer through play.
...The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd clay figures bring life to Biblical stories using the teaching methods of Maria Montessori. As a trained teacher, I try to follow this Confucius proverb when teaching: I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand. What better way to develop a relationship with Christ for a child's young heart than concrete exploration of the mysteries of our faith?
...A nativity set made complete with custom additions. So fun and inviting for hands young and old! My favorite part of making the nativity sets is adding custom additions because that is truly what makes it unique!
...A custom clay figurine opens up the imagination to so many possibilities! Special memories or something you just can't find anywhere else, here is the place to create it in either a caricature or realistic style ...can you Picture it in Clay?!
