Please Welcome TarZan and RiLee!
TarZan comes complete with a plump red belly and 2 seriously sharp fangs.
RiLee is one handsome alley cat.
Yes ... he looks a bit lost.
My sister Beth thinks his nose and lips look like a Martini glass.
I agree!
TarZan and RiLee are now listed on Etsy!

Check out Bob the lobster and Bentley the seahorse!
Bob is for sale this beautiful Memorial Day weekend.
Bentley the seahorse has already found a new home. I think the little dude sold in about 12 minutes on Friday. I was as shocked as he was. I am NEVER ready to part with my babies. He has the sweetest, plump belly.
Below is Bentley the seahorse.
I am working on another seahorse as we speak.
He is painted shades of banana yellow!
If you are interested in him ... before I upload him to Etsy ... email me and I can send you a photo as soon as he is finished. He will be $89 plus $5 to ship.
This is Bob!
Bob has just made is debut on Etsy.
He is so cooL!
Here are a few more shots of Bob.
They give you a better idea of the detail and texture.
I just added three new UgLee's to Etsy! Check it OuT! Click HERE!
I am now living with an entire family of Penn State fanatics. Two are alumni, one has just finished his Sophomore year AND one is graduating in just a few weeks! I'm not even going to bother listing all of the other family members and family of family that have graduated over the past 20 years. We don't have enough time or space. Let's just say I was the only one to venture off to a small liberal arts college in Bethlehem, Pa. ... Moravian College.
I digress ...
I would like to introduce you to Nittany. The first EVER BuTT UgLee Penn State Nittany lion.
Here are a few shots:
You have no idea how hard it was to create this bad boy. A regular lion is no big deal. Heck ... (you all know I really wanted to say Hell.) his fully painted lion body sat around for weeks ... yes ... WEEKS! The pressure to make him a NITTANY lion was crushing. When you think about living in a home that lives and breaths Penn State you probably get the picture.
The decision was finally made ... I would create the classic Penn State scarf and tie that sucker around his neck and pop on a BuTT UgLee tag. Sure ... no problem! NOT! I had to torture myself and create the scarf out of muslin instead of buying a simple blue and white ribbon. Blah ... Blah ... Blah ... what a whinny butt. I loved it! It also makes me feel much better creating all of the extra details out of muslin whenever I can. Muslin rocks! It also adds to the handcrafted appeal.
Did you see his WHISKERS! So cool! I took black floss and pulled a few threads through, then anchored them with a tiny bit of glue. I love them. The back of NiTTany looks as cool as the front. It has the same wave of polka dots. I don't add the dimensional paint to the back because it may get tacky and stick to the wall. We don't want to that.
There are plans to make more NiTTany lions. Remember they make great gifts for your student, graduate, alumni or TAILGATE! Each NiTTany is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, whimsical work of art.
The chicks are here! The chicks are here! The chicks are here!
You have to go see Charmin!
She was listed on Etsy this morning.
(Her story will explain the absolutely ridiculous title of this posting.)
*******************************************
This is Charmin.
Charmin is a BuTT UgLee jellyfish. (duh ... I don't know why I always add this line.)
The whole piece measures 13" wide and 15" tall.
I love, love, love making seaweed. Not the nasty brown seaweed ... but the rockin' bright green, happy seaweed. The kind of seaweed you would want to have lunch with.
Charmin (she) is a member of Fly Ate a Pie sorority. Her real name is Dot. She earned her name Charmin one evening while slugging Lemon Drops at the local Red Robin. Dot excused herself from the bar, skiddered off to the ladies room and did her business. Unfortunately ... she did not notice the rather long comet of toilet paper following her back to her bar stool. This did not go unnoticed by the rest of the crowd including her Fly Ate A Pie sisters.
The rest is history.
*****************************************************
I also added Thor ... A super handsome Unicorn/Pegasus.
I have no idea what is in his sack lunch.
Today we will be working on BuTT UgLee chicks! Wait until you see them!!!
They can hang OR stand on their own two feet!
Absolutely nothing!
Check out the newest addition to the UgLee gang.
The handsome stallion below is Kato.
There is one thing you need to know about UgLee horse's ... all UgLee's for that matter. Because my photos oh so rot ... you can't even come close to seeing the amount of detail involved in each piece. Horses are a perfect example of this. I use multiple shades and tones of different colors, these are usually softly layered so you won't see them until you see your UgLee in person.
*** This shot is way over exposed .... sorry! I'm learning a new photo editing program ... again.***
For example ... Kato's hind quarters look solid white in the photo, but they're not.
I painted the section magnolia white then layered wide vertical stripes in oyster shell.
The colors are faint but up close you can see it, giving his tush a dimensional look.
It's hard to explain. I had to hold myself back with Kato. Sometimes I get way to carried away with all of the details and can't stop myself.
