I ship ASAP so you will receive your ceramics quickly!
Whimsical porcelain animals that have brought smiles to collectors for over 50 years!
Wild Earth originated with my mom Lila Stuart who began making her cute ceramic animals in 1950 in Pasadena, Ca. known as “Lila’s Originals”. These were sold in shops along the West Coast.
In the 70’s after having a family, Lila began to use texture in the clay along with iron oxide stains minimizing the glaze for a more earthy look. By the time I was 19 I was making ceramics along with her at her Wild Earth shop in Santa Cruz, Ca. We started doing art shows in Ca and Az and selling to shops.
In 2003 my mom Lila left Wild Earth to me and I’ve continued to carry on these special creatures as long as I am able to.
I’m happy to be able to offer Wild Earth Sculpture here at Etsy.com!
If you don't see what you want in the store, please ask as I may have it or can make it for you.
Custom orders sometimes possible.
If you purchase multiple items the shipping costs may seem high, and you may be getting a partial shipping refund, so don’t be discouraged if this happens.
I ship immediately if at all possible! Your package should arrive quickly!
There are more items available, especially larger pieces, which it’s preferable that they be picked up or delivered in the SF area.
I recommend you order early for the holidays this year. I will be low in stock because of my husbands critical illness and death late in the season.
IS THIS A GIFT?
Would you like to ship your item directly to a gift recipient? Just follow these steps:
1) Check Gift Box at checkout
2) Enter THEIR name and address as shipping address
3) Please include a Gift Note. Etsy will indicate where to write a nice gift note, let them know it's from you!
4) Etsy will automatically print your message on a cool gift card and will not include a money receipt.
No muss no fuss, enjoy your gift giving!
REPAIRING WILD EARTH
Did you know? If your Wild Earth breaks, don't despair or dispose!
Save your pieces because Wild Earth breaks cleanly and can be easily repaired with Weldbond glue ( from Ace Hardware or online.) It's a clear drying white glue and easy to use, but waterproof and durable. (Small parts can be glued with super glue).
Usually the repair will not even show when pressed tightly together (put glasses on and wiggle until it “clicks” in and fits perfectly- rub your finger across break to make sure it’s fitting exactly), wipe off excess, hold or let set up for 5 minutes, and let cure for 24 hours.
For waterproof or weight bearing repairs stick with Weldbond which is good for everything. I'm happy to answer questions regarding this as even very large or "shattered" pieces can be treated as a puzzle, repaired gradually (a few pieces a day)and be restored.
If you have questions about filling in areas of missing pieces, convo me and I’ll share ideas! Folks get attached to their Wild Earth Sculpture and there is most often a way to repair them.

5 out of 5 starsItem is just as it is in pictures if not even better in person, and Lorinda was so extremely helpful and sweet. 10/10 recommend this unique piece but also buying from her because simply interacting with her was a pleasure.

4 out of 5 starsCute bird-just missing a tad bit hair fluff. Gives it character. Seller informed me and also, gave a refund right after the order. I like things that are different and it’ll satisfy.
