Oh Happy Day! My dear friend Lisa Lambright and I are going to be in the audience of the Ellen DeGeneres show, and on her birthday. I made today's lid in tribute to her love and commitment to animals. As an animal lover myself, it's a theme that's bound to appear in my blog entries at least a few time this year. The background of the lid was made using blended scrap clay. The paw setting is a rough prototype of a new bezel for my line that was misinterpreted by the factory (back to the drawing board!). I was glad to find a use for it. I mixed teeny tiny glass beads with my Magic Glos UV resin and packed them in the recesses. The dog and heart charms are Tierracast findings with the jump loops clipped and filed off. I printed the rim's clay border with black ink, using a paw print stamp. I've had a lot of experience with designing pet motifs since last year. I was commissioned to design for A Keepsake Company, makers of a wonderful pet product devoted to preserving memories of beloved pets.
Love this paw lid! It's adorable.

What a cute one.....and I'm sure Dexter gave his paw as a model. Ellen should love it. Marty
