Here are some of my penguins. They are available for sale at Craigdarroch Castle gift shop and will be at my shows.




Schnik?

Schnik

What does that mean? Where does that word come from?

Schick is in honor of my mother's nickname for me. It is short for Schniklephritz P Throttlebottom.

I am a crafty girl who grew up to be a crafty lady. I design and produce small pieces of art with my little fingertips out of polymer clay and found objects. My pieces are sold at local art shows and gift shops.

The products that I create are all original pieces, ornaments, figurines and pendants handcrafted by me, LT, using polymer clay and bits of jewelry that have broken or will never be worn again.
My mission is to create and maintain a home based craft business and sell my products at local shows, gift shops and online. I want to promote the idea of "upcycling" and craftiness in general. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upcycle

Currently I am working on a line of penguins. Originally I created them for the holidays. They were decorated with the usual novelties of the holiday season: wreathes, trees and anything red and or green! I found that people were responding to the non-holiday themes penguins. I call them "Personality Penguins".
