Out Spider Walking

Where is the time going?!! What I thought I would have done on Wednesday finally got done on Friday...what I thought I would get done Friday is still sitting undone!!!! I'm painting everyday, except today because I'm working on my SpookyTime Jingles pages and sent out some pieces, but I feel like a snail. I know we only lost an hour for daylight savings time Sunday, but I think it feels like several days....and I had a terrible time getting myself out of bed today. What is up?

Okay, enough of the pity party, on to the positive! Below is "Out Spider Walking", that you saw as a WIP a couple of weeks ago. I was charmed by this loving little Skelly figure and so I put extra details on his collar, which is a spider web of course with a big ole' grinning spider holding the collar closed, and a tiny spider button on the shirt. Even his little cap has a tiny web surrounding the top above the 31 inside of the "O" for October. He also has the striped leggings I love putting on my figures with boots.

I tend to be a happy person so I notice that most of my figures also wear grins. The photo below shows some of the hat and collar detail more closely. Oh a Skelly and his Spider, what could be more endearing to a Halloween lover?

Bear with me about my blogging, my posting and my responses. I am so behind, and need to be in the studio a ton more this next month so that I get my EHAG (Eclectic Halloween Artist Group) challenge piece done as well as my EHAG giveaway piece...yes, another small piece will be given away by me in April (are you feeling a little more generous in spirit to forgive me now?) as well as finishing 4 works to be sent to the Halloween Convention in Pennsylvania in April and my new STJ April pieces. If I go bald I figure I can always buy a wig!! HA!

Have a great day and happy creating all!!

Blue Bow Bunny

Well, I have been painting and painting and thought I would show the bunny that was just finished last night. This is Blue Bow Bunny holding a decorated egg in one hand and a small basket of decorated eggs in the other.



Hope you enjoy him!!

PFATT Blog Giveaway and Halloween and Vine

For this week only, ending March 7th, there is a chance to register and win a number of giveaway pieces on the THE PFATT BLOG by just leaving a comment to sign up!! How exciting is that?!! The drawing will be held on Sunday, March 8th, so scamper on over to register! (Yes, there is a little something from yours truly so go give the blog a look.)



You have to love those PFATT ladies for such a fun idea!!! Don't you just love a giveaway?!!

Okay, here is the next item. For those of you that have learned a little about me through this blog you know that I love all things Halloween. I read last fall about Halloween and Vine and Ghoultide Gatherings and how everything was so magical and wonderful at these two major Halloween art events. I sighed and thought, wouldn't it be just the best thing to be a part of one of those two terrific shows. So I put the names of the events on my image board to dream big, and last week I got an email from Scott Smith of Rucus Studio. Well dreaming big is a good thing and I have been invited to participate in the 2009, Halloween and Vine.

I am thrilled, giddy, humbled and a little overwhelmed by the whole thing. It is such an opportunity I can't even begin to explain or completely take in yet. I'm telling you this because I think my frequent postings may become fewer in number and I may not be showing as many works. I will need to be building an inventory for the California show and since I work so slowly the inventory building needs to begin today. I just want to take the very best that I can, so hang in there with me as I begin this exciting new journey. I will still be producing work for sale on SpookyTime Jingles and have committed to the EHAG challenges, so I promise to work as hard as I can to keep those little jingles and spooks coming to you.



Have a fantastic day and happy creating!!!
