Another Valentine's Listing

Since my owl has been getting some good hits, I decided to make a Valentine's themed owl on a cupcake. I wanted to incorporate a little bit of flowers since they've always been my first love when creating items with clay.

This little owl sits in a "love nest" of puffy hearts and two shades of pink flowers, all on top of a white frosted cupcake. So cute I want to keep it! Diane and I are coming up with a lot of fun ideas not just for Valentines, but with other items we'll be offering in our shop-so keep visiting!

Valentine's Day Penguin Just Listed...

Well, since I was busy today, doing a lot of running around, I only had a brief moment to sit in my studio and create something small. Since I had a bunch of cupcakes finished I decided to make something for Valentine's Day to list on our gofigurette! site on Etsy.

I can't wait to see what Myrna has created on her end, but here goes mine. I decided to make a pink penguin with darker pink hearts on it's body and then embellish a white "frosted" cupcake with the same mini pink hearts and embellished them with matching glitter glue. So sweet! All the pieces were handmade. The hearts were not from a mold, again, hand formed and believe me the clay I started with was super tiny. I decided to add a little "Happy Valentine's Day" sign that can be removed after Valentine's Day.
Would be super cute for your loved one who loves penguins or for your child's teacher at school. We'll be coming up with some more items soon so stay tuned. Click on either of the images to take you directly to the actual listing on Etsy!

gofigurette! Signature Cupcake - a collaborative design effort!

Myrna and I love working together. It's one of those things, we either both have the same idea or come up with an idea and the other executes. It's a fun working environment, just wish we lived closer so we could actually hang out. :)
After I designed our logo, I thought to myself, "we need to make the birds and cherry blossom out of clay. Myrna figured out how to make cupcake forms so we don't have to go out and buy real cupcakes every time we want to photograph a new figurine to post on our Etsy site. We both had the same idea, make a cupcake with our birds and cherry blossom. Myrna came up with the birds and the cupcake in the most perfect colors and she sent it to me and I figured out the cherry blossom location and created the flower. So it was a collaborative design effort from both of us. Myrna is jealous because I'm not giving her the sample back. LOL. It's SUPER CUTE!
So, we're selling these on Etsy soon, just in time for Valentine's Day. We thought this would make a cute cake topper too for someone who loves birds and loves cupcakes! We're thinking of new packaging ideas as well, but until these things really take off, they will come in their own little gofigurette! logo bag.

We'll also be coming out with a line of figurine and cupcake sets. Already gives me ideas for my son's birthday in February! So be sure to check out www.gofigurette.etsy.com for different color and figurine combinations!
