Local Hub Article

Are there times when you want to pinch yourself?....I think so! Not only did I have the good fortune to be interviewed by KHAS-TV that aired this week, but I have all but one column on the front of the Life section of the Kearney Hub today. Sarah Mulder was the Hub writer and she did a wonderful job mentioning Halloween and Vine and SpookyTime Jingles and I am just thrilled!!! Plus it is Halloween!!! Now that is what I call a wonderful day!

Thank you to all of you that have put up with me through all of this and my fall madness. I wish everyone the same good fortune!

Happy Halloween to you all!!

Elf in the Ornie update

Little Phineas is making some progress so here is the first bit of paint on this tiny fellow and the ornie he is emerging from. His collar was added after the initial sculpting so it was too wet for paint, but will be painted green to match his pointy hat trim and it should give him some visual punch up against the red of the ornament. Don't you love what primary colors do when they are set up against one another!!! I'm debating about the design on the ornament...40-50's style stripes and dots is the direction on leaning at the moment. I have lots more work to do on his face, trim and ornament design, but I'm excited to get him finished. I'm sculpting this week so the painting is on hold.

You will also notice there are a few pumpkin boys in clay standing behind Phineas. They are both in the works and I hope to have one dressed for Christmas. We will see if my idea has merit or not once I execute it, and if you find there isn't one on SpookyTime Jingles next month then you will know it didn't work for me. So many ideas, so little time!!! ** giggle**

Hope you are having a great week and that you have fun plans for Halloween!! Only 3 days away--Boo!

KHAS-TV Interview is Up on Their Website

Okay, my photographs aren't done yet on the update for the little elf, but here is the link to the interview that was on last night's news from the Hastings, Nebraska station NBC affiliate, KHAS.....http://khastv.com/ I received an email this morning from an artist in Missouri that the Kansas City station picked it up and ran it as well. How fun!! I'm not sure how long the clip will be up so if it disappears in a day or two don't be surprised.

I'll be back with a photo later today after I get my hair cut.
Have a great afternoon!!
