Colourful Autumn Squashes...."To Autumn"
I've been busily weaving more baskets whenever I get the chance & as it's definitely Autumn here now, with those lovely misty mornings that turn into hazily sunny days with the leaves starting to fall, my inspiration has turned to the wonderful shapes & colours of the Autumn squashes that abound at this time of year. As Keats famously wrote it is the ..."SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness"........"To swell the gourd"...& my gourds in the veggie patch have definitely excelled themselves this year. They have now been turned into jars of chutney that will last me at least until next Autumn!

I'm sure you hear this a lot, but Wowowow! These are beautiful. Absolutely charming... as a polymer clay artist myself, my mind boggles at the thought of working so small.
(I found you through a post at Polymer Clay Daily).

Just found your blog today. What a treasure I've found! You are so very talented. Words can't describe how amazing your work is. Thanks for sharing the photos in your blog. I've emailed several friends telling them "You've gotta see this"!! I look forward to seeing your future creations. Tina
Congratulation on your feature at PCD. So glad you were because it introduced me to your work, and WOW, what amazing work it is! Your tiny fall baskets full of the gourds are just gorgeous, as are your perfect little miniature cherries. You must have the most nimble of fingers.
I am in awe. All that tiny food is amazing. I fear I would have tiny squished food all over the house if I tried making something that small! It's hard enough for me to keep up with all my beads. :-)
Thank you so much everyone.....I'm blushing! I had no idea that anything was in PCD, so thanks for letting me know too :-)) Mini hugs
