I was blogged about today on Smitteniche, a very cool blog that shows off the work of indie artists and designers. They featured my Perma-Pets and I love what the writer Jess says about them: I’m one of those folks who can’t seem to keep a pet fish alive for more than a week at a time, so these Perma-Pet Sculptures (one of a kind mixed media creations by Noadi’s Art) really captured my attention!Perma-Pets are sculpted polymer clay sea creatures, suspended in clear acrylic resin inside a...
