Spring Decorating with Frogs, Geckos, and Bunnies - Oh My! Plus DIY Ceramics for Easter...

I love Spring! So many beautiful flowers starting to emerge and not too many bugs --- yet! Even in the desert here in Arizona flowers are abundant and even the weeds that have sprung up from the rains we recently had have pretty little yellow and purple flowers.

With weather getting warmer, I start getting ideas about decorating my home and garden. Having just planted a few dozen oleandars about my place (great for creating walls of colors and screening out the neighbors :) now I can take a break and get back to creating some unique and unusal ceramic wall hangings and garden animals.

My husband was busy over the winter creating new things too! Just check out his Tie Dye Gecko and Frogs at DarkHorseStore.com and pictured below. We love to create unique gifts and interesting critters!

I hope you love a few of my favorite pics here of ceramic wall hangings, garden decor and home decor pieces. They go great indoors and out. Easily hung on a wall using nails or hooks. I have a few of these critters hanging around the living room myself... :) 

My husband's creation and a new favorite of customers
whenever we show!  I think he managed to get all of the
colors of Spring into this one ;)

I call this one Lava Gecko. Black base color against the red "lava"
crystals make this one of my current favorites.
I place each crystal by hand, making each piece very unique.

Tie Dye Gecko - Long Style!

This copper frog (copper glaze) really shines in sunlight.

Warm earthy tones of brown and soft orange on this fellow!

Who can resist a Southwest classic? This hanging steer skull
is in copper glaze that reflects light wonderfully,
but when in a darker setting,
looks like a deep wood grain - really unique!

These smaller geckos are 5 inches long and make a great
addition to any space. I just love these little guys!
Kids absolutely go crazy for them - boys and girls alike.
It's great to watch kids pet them when we go to shows :)

And here's a little lava pair - aren't they sweet?

Tie Dye Frog - you will never see another like it!

What about decorating in the kitchen or office?
This budding cactus tea bag holder is useful as well as decorative.

Green leaves to add color to home and office -
great as ring holders, hold paperclips, teaspoons, tea bags and more!

Can it be Spring without bunnies?

Just in time for Easter - DIY Paint Your Own Bunny Set!
Grab the kids and paint your own memorable bunny,
or add this kit to an Easter backet this year.
Let your imagination run wild ~ why should I have all the fun painting?

You can check out more DIY paint your own ceramic kits and ceramic bisque here.  I love to hear suggestions on anything you might be interested in - for instance, the hanging steer skull was originally created as a custom order for someone who requested it and it worked out quite well! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you enjoy Spring time where you are :)
