  • Christmas in July may be irritating, but apparently it’s necessary in retail!

    I’m having a bizarrely good time making Christmas ornaments in July. Maybe because it’s not associated with the stressors of the winter holidays! Anyway. Here are a few components that will be added to Christmas ornaments for the season. I’m not posting a lot of work on social media this week. We’ve had company. But…


  • Chunky Bird Necklace will be added to the release later in the week.


  • Another piece for the upcoming release!

  • Tiny Flier

    A tiny sculpture I made recently is now hanging in my dining room window. If you want one, get in touch. I can do custom colors! #narrativeart #kelliesniderart #artdanger #sculpture #polymerclay

  • PENDANTS

    I’m making a lot of frogs lately as well as pendants, and, of course, frog pendants. Some of them are up in my booth (J32, Painted Tree Boutiques, 409 E Waterfront Dr, Homestead PA, 10 to 8 daily.)


  • Still Moving In

    We got an unexpected snowfall today, and have postponed finishing up my Painted Tree Boutiques booth until Monday thru Friday when hopefully fewer vendors will be trying to work on the weekend. We have until Friday to finish up, then Saturday, March 16 we will open to the public. These are some of the last…
