Love them Bones!

Yesterday I got a pleasant surprise I wanted to share with you all. A friend of mine called a couple of days ago and said he had " a thrift shop find he said had my name all over it". I said great would see hem Sunday, thought nothing more of it and went back to work.

Sunday came around and so did my friend Carlos. Well Lo and behold the surprise.

A vintage scale model of a human skeleton! Isn't he wonderful! Not only is he a great reference for my work he is a great decorative item for my home and studio. Not to mention a great Halloween decoration. Can you imagine him all spruced up as a centerpiece on my Halloween Buffet table.

Can't wait till October comes around, love them bones.

Don't forget the update on the EHAG Emporium tomorrow evening.

This I'm most excited about since I'll be introducing my first attired figure "The Widow Jones" following is just a sneak peak, so do stop by for your chance to get your hands on her.

Come back here mañana for detailed pictures of my contribution to this event, made up of talented EHAG artist.

Well it's back to the production line for me.

WIP Update and EHAG Emporium Debut!

WIP Update and EHAG Emporium Debut!

First off, don't forget about tomorrows debut of the EHAG Emporium, January 31st at 9PM . I am proud to be a part of EHAG (Eclectic Halloween Artists Group) a wonderful group of artists. These artists specialize in creating one-of-a-kind Halloween collectibles. EHAG is now opening the doors to the Emporium...a special blog dedicated to showcasing one work of art from participating member. Here's a sneak peek at my offering.

Next is an update of for the Valentine pieces I was working on. I swear I feel like I am working as slow as molasses! There are two candy/gift boxes that I've finished as well. They are also bobbing heads.Hopefully they will be posted tomorrow on eBay under hohohalloween of course. That is if the cold doesn't slow the molasses further.

I think they came out rather nicely if I do say so myself. You've already seen Mr. Heart who is holding flowers and is hiding a ring box behind him.

Of course you all remember the bunnies I started last week.

They now are joined by a little chick.

Well at least that's what I was going for. Actually I think it looks like some kind of killer chicken or "Kung Fu" chicken. Don't know please tell me what you guys think.

Don't forget to check out them out next months offerings at STJ's Holiday Hootenanny.

Well back to work for me.

WIP update, New WIPS and wishful thinking?

Hello everyone, been trying to stay busy and productive. Thought you might enjoy an update on the recently started WIPS.

The luminaria, and witch seem to be coming along just fine. I like the colors and patterns on the witch. Need to get her hat done, then I can get her opened up to work on the container part. The teapot is almost ready for paint. I put it aside to start some basic shapes to keep going once these are painted. I seem to work better and more productively if I have enough materials to keep shifting from one to the other. It also gives me a better feel for where a piece is going. I mean, If I get stuck on one I can alway switch to another, then come back. that way I don't feel unproductive and the flow keeps coming, in theory anyway, LOL. Sometimes you just can't get blood from a turnip!

One of the "other" pieces I started are my bunnies, very rough shape right now, gotta go back to the drawing board on them.

Luckily I found some fun bits and accessories for them that should point me in the right direction. I think the ears are too big!

Speaking fun bits, while making the rounds for those serendipitous treasures I cam across this little ditty.

Which leads me to wonder. Should I try growing him in the bathtub or the local swimming pool? I figure the more room to grow... LOL.

I guess that's were the wishful thinking comes in to play. I dare say I'm not the only one!

Lastly don't forget the EHAG Emporium Venue premiere sale this January 31st. Featuring many of our favorite and talented artist from EHAG. It will be a monthly event on every 31st of the month. Hope to see you there!!

Thrilled New Member of EHAG

Im sot thrilled to have been invited and accepted into this talented group of Artist. It was'nt that long ago that I noticed that most of the artist work I admired and inspired me had these funny little initials in their listings. I soon realized it stood for outstanding craftsmanship and creativity. Just recently I congratulated Johanna Parker on her wonderful design for the new EHAG logo, now I get to proudly post it. This is wonderful news is just the thing I needed to boost my spirits before my surgery Thursday and the rehab to follow. My plate IS full but now it's got dressing! LOL. Thank you EHAG.
