Void Spirits are available for adoption now!

This image shows a whimsical display of handcrafted, galaxy-themed snail and ghost figures arranged on driftwood. The snails have vibrant, iridescent glass shells, while the ghost-like figures are star-speckled and bell-shaped. Dried leaves, pinecones, and twigs surround the scene, adding a rustic, autumnal touch.

It's finally stopped raining, and the sun has finally come out from behind the clouds, casting rainbows into puddles and the droplets still clinging to Partly Sunny's umbrella. Harold sits, impassive, drawing her attention and giving her a subject for her next adventure.

Image id:
A whimsical sculpture of a faceless girl named "Partly Sunny," with a cloud for a head and the sun peeking out from one side. She wears a layered ruffled dress, rain boots, and holds a umbrella decorated with floral designs in shades of purple, teal, and gold. She stands beside a green and turquoise frog named "Harold" with a mildly grumpy expression. Her umbrella is adorned with hanging, iridescent "raindrops," there are glossy water "drops" scattered over her clothing and umbrella, and they are both set on a base textured with cobblestones and a glossy rain "puddle." The front of the base is stamped with the name of the piece: "Sunshower."

Rainy Day

He sits heavily. He wants to scream, cry, break things. But he's tired, so he just sits.

Sculpted in Polymer Clay and painted with acrylics, Rainy Day is discouragement personified.

But every cloud has a silver lining, and rain doesn't last forever. So he waits for the storm to pass.

Image ID:
A stylized sculpture of a seated figure in a blue suit with a dark cloud for a head, evoking feelings of discouragement and melancholy. The base reads "rainy day," and the color palette features muted blues and grays.

On Friday night, the sweetest critter on the planet passed away. Lucky's favorite place in the world was in my sleeve, and I used to carry him around the house in my hoodie all day.

So, I made a sleeve rat.

Day 7 and we're finishing up with King Frog Himself!

King Frog is as royal as he is rainbow, but don't worry too much about that crown. This multicolor monarch is King in name only, and prefers that everyone have a say in the running of the pond. No tyrants allowed here.

Collage of front, back, and sides, as a polymer clay sculpted frog in rainbow colors with black stripes and metallic green eyes. Text notes the frogs name to be "King Frog."

It's Day 6! Meet Sour Grape!

SourGrape is struggling a bit with her colors and markings. They're a little brighter than she's used to, and she's not too sure about them. Maybe she'll just stay home today...

In 40 years, finding a red hat buried in a box in your grandparents attic is going to be the equivalent of finding a red armband 10 years ago.

It's day 2 of introducing my Rainbow Rain Frogs! Here's RainSqueak!

Regardless of the weather, RainSqueak enjoys a good *grump*. Sitting in a puddle, by himself, and grumbling about the weather is his favorite place to be, so next time you hear thunder, look down. It could just be RainSqueak.

It's time for you all to officially meet my Rainbow Rain Frogs! Starting with CinderHop!

CinderHop is a spicy boy. So much so that I almost named him Spicy Boy, but he insisted. With a fiery temper and a scorching wit, he'll let you know exactly what he thinks, sugar coating be damned.
