Happy Easter from gofigurette!

It's been quite a busy week for Myrna and me with various projects we've been working on. Trying to split my time between DK Designs and gofigurette! sometimes can be challenging. Myrna made me this cute baby chick and Easter eggs in a cute latte style egg cup and because I was running out of time to make gifts for my nieces and nephews for Easter, I decided to follow her lead. So I had these 1 inch square ceramic salt & pepper holders and decided to use them for the chick and the eggs. They came out super cute. I made one each for my son's teachers and for his girlfriend at school. My son is 5 mind you and he's had a girlfriend for over a year now. At least he's a one girl kind of boy! LOL.

Anyway, Myrna and I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter and hope that all your little loved ones find lots of Easter eggs and treats on Sunday!

St. Patrick's Day and Easter Items

I've been busy creating some things for St. Patrick's Day and Easter. I love what I do! It's so much fun and such a creative release. I love cute things but never thought I could make things that are cute until now.

My husband is part Irish decent and I was thinking I should make something for St. Patrick's Day, but not something that would be offensive to people who are Irish. He says leprachauns are a Hollywood made up thing and it's offensive to Irish because it's a celebration of an Irish saint. So I technically didn't make a leprachaun, I made a penguin, but I guess the hat makes it a leprachaun penguin. I put a little 4 leaf clover on his tummy. This first one goes to my mother-in-law because she is Irish and I know she would really find this to be cute.The 2nd item is a mini cupcake with a bunny, grasses, roses, tiny flowers, leaves, and glittered eggs. It's a challenge trying to create things in miniature size, but fun nonetheless! Will be posting new items to our Etsy shop soon!

Did Someone Say "Easter"???

Yes, it's not even Superbowl Sunday, nor Valentine's Day but Myrna and I are already thinking about Easter! She showed me something she quickly whipped up and it was so darn cute (I'll let her share it with you in a separate blog post) and her creativity sparked mine.
After finishing my penguins for my client who wanted the family of penguins, I decided that I would try to make an Easter themed arrangement. I had made an Easter bunny head, but no body a while back when we first started the company, but Myrna has inspired me to make bodies now! So going back to what I know from my theme project when I was going for my DECO certification, I did an Easter themed project. What's not to love about cute little bunnies!So I had these little wooden condiment cups from Sur la Table that I bought a couple years back and I thought they were super cute and that I would have a need for them. In the two years I've had them, I couldn't figure out what to use them for.. until NOW! I decided to make an Easter bunny in a small garden with grass, tall grasses, Easter eggs decorated in glitter in various colors and little itty bitty flowers. The whole thing probably only measures 4 inches high by 3 inches in diameter.

Soon these will be listed on Etsy. I'm thinking about maybe doing a brown bunny and who knows, maybe a penguin dressed up in bunny ears perhaps? I just finished working on a ton of flower samples and a bridal bouquet replica so doing a little creative figurine creation was just what I needed. So much fun! Looking forward to making more Easter related items to sell. If they don't sell, they'll make EXCELLENT gifts for my nieces and nephews!
