SpookyTime Jingles Updates Tonight!!!!!

At midnight tonight STJ will update!!!! I have been working on Halloween and Vine's inventory this past month so I will not have anything new to offer tonight, but I do have a little fellow below that is still available for the Christmas collectors. I apologize profusely, but I really needed a month to focus on the big show in California and nothing else. I promise to be back next month with new Halloween works!!!

Have a great day all!!!!

Beatrice, "Bee" Wicked

This is Beatrice, or as her friends call her, "Bee" Wicked. She is a sister in that line of witches known as the Wicked family, which also includes Sorta, Pretty and I.M., that you have had previous introductions to over the last few months. "Bee" is the flyer in the family. Never seen without her magical broom, she flies everywhere and carries celestial symbols on her hat to denote her love of the night sky, and also to distinguish her from other witches without her flying skills. You see, if a witch has been noted for exceptional flight aptitude (loops, touch and goes on Halloween night, flight catches of Halloween bags, etc.) they are then given stars and crescent moons to acknowledge their skill level to be placed on their hats. You will note that "Bee" already has been given two stars and a crescent moon awarded to her for her exceptional abilities. It is also partially the reason she received the nickname "Bee"...besides the fact her name is Beatrice, it is said she can fly with the agility and purpose of mission like a bee, so her nickname actually comes to her in two ways.

"Bee" is shown here with her broom, Cassandra. Cassandra has had some racing stripes placed on her handle to designate the speed in which she carries "Bee". The full figure view also shows the details on "Bee's" belt, socks and striped shirt, and the pin on her chest that is symbolic of the Arachnid flying team that she is a member of.

Hope you enjoy the peek...she is flying to Halloween and Vine.

Have a great week and we will chat at you later!!

Augustus Lumina with Cyrus, His Cat Scepter

I had a good day yesterday and finished the painting on another new figure for Halloween and Vine. Let me introduce you to little "Augustus Lumina", a magician cousin in the Lumina (pumpkin) family. He loves Halloween and wears the number 31 proudly on his magician cap, as you can see below, to honor the date of Halloween. He also is shown carrying his trusty-rusty cat scepter, Cyrus, to help him perform his magic.

Augustus isn't a magician of the dark arts....he likes to think of his magic as falling somewhere in the light to medium gray area. He does relatively harmless acts of magic such as turning gummy worms into actual worms in children's candy (no sugar so it's healthier for the teeth), turning cell phones into frogs (you don't need to be talking on them all the time anyway), removing the white stripe on a skunk to make it look like a cat (they need a little scratch behind the ears too), and making naughty children grow horns until they change their ways (an incentive to be a better person)...things of that sort. You might actually refer to him as more of a magician of mischief more than anything else.

Augustus had his mother decorate the back of his cape and wanted to show off her handy work so here is a back view.

Such an innocent little face for such a mischievous little fellow. Keep an eye out for him on Halloween night because your bag of candy might not end up being candy after he cast a spell on it, so look carefully as you unwrap each piece!

Have a great day!
