Cathy Nash ~ Tadpoles and Teacups

Every once in awhile I come across a blog that the author creates something I would have never thought of in a million years. That's the way it was today when I re-visited Cathy Nash's blog Tadpoles and Teacups. How do people make such things with only their hands? I just don't get it. These kind of people really are not good for my self confidence.

Cathy creates the most wonderful whimsical little creatures out of paper! She does papier mache. Papier Mache? Boy it never looked like that when I did it in 5th grade. Mine were all pinatas.

That's what I love about this creative bloggy world. There are so many creative people out there doing stuff that we had NO idea could be done. Well at least me........

Cathy has been an artist all her life. She has her Eclectic Company website where she does sell her beauties. Now...........I know I have thrown a few goods at you lately, but I'm not trying to push their goods when I feature someone. I don't get a commission. It's just that so many creative people are selling what they make and you what? They should. I mean, wouldn't you rather buy an original from an independent artist, a mom..........someone you possibly made a connection with online? I'm all about supporting women and especially mom's.
Speaking of moms.......Cathy is a funny funny mom. I can totally relate to a few of her stories, even though I only have one child and she has 4. Please don't tell me she home schools too. Don't these crafty wonder women know that the schools will take your children for 5+ hours? Think of the crafty time you'll get? :) :)

Ahh, how wonderful would it be to have one of these for every holiday? Wouldn't these look great under one of those apothecary jars? Oh my minds a burnin..............She of course does more than the papier Mache..............of course she does. Very vintage looking..........we love a vintage look don't we ladies?And she paints..............Gah........How do these woman become so talented? Have I mentioned lately that I scrapbook? Really.........I haven't done much lately............but I scrapbook. And Cathy paints too........... I don't paint.

She not only paints masterpieces that can be framed..........but a whole wall master piece! GAH!

Am I sounding bitter today? Well that's because I am! Where do these crafty folk get the nerve to be so.........so.........talented? I'd love to hang with Cathy for an afternoon just to soak up some of that talent. I hope you all know I'm just teasing with a bit of jealousy and I know Cathy will get it..........she has 4 children..........great sense of humor. I like Cathy.......even though she doesn't have either one of my blogs on her link list..........that's OK Cathy........I still like you. :)

Take your time, read her posts and don't forget to visit both websites. Enjoy!
