Not So Scary
Gargoyles are typically seen as forbidding, fearsome guardians. Noadi's Art Gargoyles are much friendlier, cute, and sweet creatures.Perfect to wear for Halloween -- but great year round too.
Each pendant is sculpted in polymer clay and painted with acrylics, the belly features a glass bubble gem, and the eyes are glass beads.
All Noadi's Art Jewelry and Ornaments come in a fabric gift bag or handmade box.
Gargoyles in Love
Maybe just buddies?
Stone Bonds are gargoyle pins featuring two gargoyles with arms around each other and their tails forming a heart. These are pretty big, bold pins, averaging about 3 inches across.The inspiration for these came around Valentine's Day last year when I was seeing a lot of cutesy stuff for sale and decided I could come up with something unique and still cute but not sappy sweet.
Each Stone Bonds pin is sculpted from polymer clay around a glass bubble gems with matching glass eyes, painted with acrylic paint, and sealed with a waterproof sealer. Pin backs are sturdy stainless steel.
Gargoyles to Guard your Tree
Or anywhere else.
Traditionally gargoyles have been considered to be guardians of the buildings (usually churches) where they reside. Tree Guardians are meant to be tiny little guardians for your Christmas tree, car, or wherever else you'd like to hang them.Each is a one of a kind (Ooak) handmade sculpted polymer clay ornament painted in acrylics with glass gem belly, bead eyes, and satin ribbon hanger.

About Gargoyles
In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building.
The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet"; cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, "throat"; Spanish gárgola, "gargoyle").
A chimera, or a grotesque figure, is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also usually called gargoyles in laymen's terminology, although the field of architecture usually preserves the distinction between gargoyles (functional waterspouts) and non-waterspout grotesques.
