1. Four Seasons Napkin Ring Set by Lisa of HiGirls 
PCAGOE's February 2016 Challenge

Set of napkin rings created with clay, silver, gold and copper leaf, and acrylic paints over ceramic napkin rings

2. Owls for Every Season by Marie of MarieYoungCreative

“Owls for Every Season” is a set of four seasons brown owl miniatures representing: winter, spring, summer, fall. I sculpted all of these critters by hand in my rural Pennsylvania studio in January which explains why Mr. Winter Owl looks a little grumpy!

3. Four Seasons Frames by Arlene of HarrisonHollow.

This month's PCAGOE challenge is the seasons. These 2x3" mini frames were very nice to start with but with the addition of custom mixed polymer clay they take on an added elegance. For more about how these frames were created, check out my blog entry at http://harrisonhollowdesigns.blogspot.com/2016/01/seasons-spring-summer-fall-winter.html

4. Ivory Seasons Brooch No. 141 by Susan of 11BOLDstreet

7. Seasons of Change by Beth of CreateMyWorldDesigns

Polymer wall art series, based on the theme of 4 seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter). The panels depict the growth of a plant from spring through winter, with backgrounds corresponding to the weather of the seasons.

8. Japanese Seasons Tool Holder by Betsy of StrebeDesigns
Made for the PCAGOE February 2016 challenge - The Four Seasons.  My idea came from two sources, my continuing quest to make fun tool holders for my work area, and my immersion in Japanese culture for an upcoming family trip to Japan this summer. A little more background on my blog http://strebedesigns.blogspot.com/2016/01/japanese-seasons-tool-holder.html
