Halloween Candy Cups

Both SOLD.....thank youI!!!  I have two Halloween candy containers available tomorrow, Friday, May 10th, on PFATT Marketplace.  They are the first Halloween candy cups for 2013 from Monkey-Cats Studio. They feature two of my characters, "Sir Jack Spinner" on the left and "Jakey Boo" on the right.

Both pieces are hand painted on handmade paper mache cups and feature the details of scalloped borders around the rim,  painted stars and swirls and a spider web and spider on the back as part of the design along with the character's images.   The candy cups also have the addition of a hand twisted black wire handle to either hang the cup from on your Halloween tree or to just place amongst your Halloween collectibles on a shelf or display.

PFATT Marketplace opens at 10 a.m. Pacific time and I will sell one or both cups to the first collector(s) to email me after the marketplace opens up.

PFATT has so many quality artists that I thank you in advance for considering my work to add to your collection.  You keep my little studio engine running! 

Have a great Mother's Day!

Trick or Treat Stanley

UPDATE:  Sold...thank you, Nancy!!!!

I have been working like crazy in the studio for weeks tying up loose ends and meeting obligations I have had so I could start work on my new Halloween creations.    It is official, the calendar is clear and I am now working on Halloween exclusively until the 2013 season is over.  I have signed my contract to return to the Halloween show, Ghoultide Gathering, in Chelsea, Michigan, for another year and I am delighted to be returning with new works.  With that said, my brain is whirling and the pencil has been put to paper so as not to lose those precious ideas and notions.  Some works are already being translated into paper mache and paint and I hope some of them will delight and enchant you as Halloween approaches. 

I realize tomorrow is Easter and a bit early for Halloween, but the bunnies have already fled the studio the minute they spotted the Halloween drawings plus the orange and black paint beginning to replace the pastels of the season.  That is when "Trick or Treat Stanley" stepped forward with his little kitty mask and candy cup and asked to be offered early to customers....(I actually think he is secretly hoping there will be some extra Easter candy to be placed in his candy container.) 

"Trick or Treat Stanley" is a one-of-a-kind original, hand sculpted from paper mache, with wood, wire and feathers added to complete the figure.  He stands at just over 14" to the top of  his curled stem and holds his kitty cat mask (that lines up with his eyes when placed over his face) and a candy cup with his twin, Oliver's, image painted on it.  He will come signed, dated and numbered.

Stanley will be available Easter day on the EHAG Emporium, at 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.  The first person to email me at, monkeycatsstudio@charter.net, after the Emporium opens wishing to purchase Stanley will become his proud new owner.  I hope you find him to your liking!

Happy Easter all!

Barney Bunny

HE WAS DISCOVERED...Thank you Leanne!!
I have another Spring candy cup for sale, Barney Bunny, that will go to the first collector that emails me regarding this post.  I'm not advertising this on Facebook today so it may take a little while for this to be discovered.  Barney is $95 plus shipping and insurance.  If you want this little fellow email me at:
monkeycatsstudio@charter.net

Barney is holding an Easter egg in one hand and is surrounded on the candy cup by eggs about the candy cup body along with a top scalloped border and pastel orbs.  His blue eyes match his bow tie and coordinate with the surrounding blue elements in the cups design.

I hope you are the one to discover this little fellow to add to your Spring collection....they look great with pastel jelly bellies in them!  Just an FYI...these are made of paper mache so they cannot be immersed in water for cleaning.

Good luck!!!
Laurie
