Tiny Sock Monkey Tea Party

My studio is full of sock monkeys. I started out with one simple ornament, then he needed a friend, then the cake toppers emerged, and now mini monkeys are having a tea party on my studio table!

These three monkeys just love to play games. Today they are having a tea party. Suzie is playing the mom, isn't she proper with her tea and her legs crossed? (it's really hot chocolate) Bobby is the dad, he is trying to be so cool. Lucky little Jerry gets to be the birthday boy, and that's why he has the cupcake. Yum!


These little monkeys would be great in a dollhouse or on a shelf. There are three monkeys in three chairs, each monkey is attached to the chair, but not to the table.The table stands alone with two tea cups, also not attached.

Table 1" high; 1.25" diameter

the tallest monkey (birthday hat) is 2" including his chair

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from SpiritMama and the Sananda-Morris Family!

Can you believe how cute these "boot" socks are? I found them at a local baby boutique called "Baby Bugaloo" and I couldn't resist. They are made by "Dolly and Dimples", and they came with another pair of socks that look like English riding shoes.

Many blessings to you on this beautiful Christmas day!

Santa Sock Monkey

Santa Sock Monkey ornament has been a big hit so far this holiday shopping season. Selling for $13.99 in my etsy shop, he is quite a bargain!

La Catrina with Chihuahua

This is Catrina, the popular skeletal lady figure often seen in La Dia de los Muertos celebrations and altars.
La Catrina represents the upper class and the understanding that no one, not even aristocrats, are immune from death when it comes calling.
I also see Catrina as representing fun and play in afterlife, as she is so often dressed in fancy, colorful clothing adorned with flowers and smiling gleefully.
This Catrina art doll is made entirely of polymer clay with a bit of Tibetan lambs wool as hair. She is 7.5" tall.

I made her for the PCAGOE (polymer clay artisans guild of etsy) October challenge. The theme is "Dia de los Muertos".

I posted the "making of Catrina" pics on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spiritmama/sets/72157607277632713/

And she is now available for sale on etsy:
