I was posting my Corgi Bobble Head video on YouTube yesterday & discovered some videos I posted a while back.  It was so much fun watching them that I thought you might like them, too!

I am working on another new design:  Corgi Bobble BUTT!!!  Can you think of anything more appropriate for our sweet Corgi dogs?!  Hopefully, I'll figure out where to attach everything to get that butt wiggling!

The Start of Corgi Keepsakes part 2

My model, Hank!

So here was my first Corgi out of polymer clay:

I posted the picture on the Facebook group Welsh Pembroke Corgi, and the response was overwhelming!  I had over 300 Likes in about 3 hours!  Wow!

People loved the sploot pose that is so typical of Corgis.  All of a sudden, I had a dozen requests to make Corgi miniatures for other Corgi owners! 

And that's how it started!

Hank hates the guitar

Hank is scared of so many things.  He especially hates when my husband, Mike plays the guitar.....here is Hank complaining to me!

The start of Corgi Keepsakes part 1

My two Corgis:  Hank, the steadfast, sweet-natured, scared-of-his-own-shadow red & white.  And Hope, the mischief-maker, never-still-for-a-minute, possessive tri-color.  As opposite in their natures as my two children always were.  And both loveable for their different personalities.

Hank & Hope are my inspiration behind this blog and my fledgling business, Corgi Keepsakes.  There's a lot more background, but for now, I'll just share how this business got started.

I had been making tiny containers for succulent plants out of polymer clay.  Called "pinch pots" because of the way they are made, I started a Facebook page dedicated to my Pinch Pot Plants.  Succulent growers are about as rabid as Corgi owners!  I enjoyed some success selling my pinch pot plants online, but it was difficult to package and ship them to be sure the plants weren't damaged during mailing.

What else could I sculpt with polymer clay?  What else did I love like I do succulents?  CORGIS, OF COURSE!!

I molded, sculpted and painted my first Corgi using Hank as my model...

This story will be continued in my next post!
