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!
