Ghoultide Gathering Ad in ADQ


The Ghoultide Gathering advertisement in Art Doll Quarterly has just been released for us to share with you.  I am so honored to be participating in the show again this year with such talented artists, and was lucky to be included in this years ad!  Art Doll Quarterly will be in the newsstands in August.   (Several artist friends are scheduled to have articles in the magazine so I'm as anxious as you are to see the new issue.)  Ghoultide Gathering is on Saturday, September 28th, in Chelsea, Michigan.  Click on Ghoultide Gathering for more details!  

I hope to see you there!

PFATT Marketplace update on Monday, June 10th

BOTH SOLD....Thank you so much!!!  Another month has flown by in the studio and it is once again time for the PFATT Marketplace update.  I will have two items available for purchase on June 10th, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.  

After many requests for cat candy containers last month I decided to bring back my two crazy cats, Jake and Elwood, as the subjects for two new cups.
 
 

“Party Jake” is the first candy cup and shows Jake wearing a polka dot party hat and matching shirt with a big green bow tie.   Jake is the prankster of our boys so he is once again shown
holding a little mouse in his hand on the front of this cup with bats and stars filling the night sky behind him.  The top of the cup is surrounded by a scalloped border and has a spider and spider web painted on the back of the candy cup.


 “Party Elwood” is the second candy cup and shows Elwood wearing a Halloween party hat with a tiny painted tinsel trim and a large polka dot bow tie.  Elwood is the charmer of our boys so he is shown carrying a little painted sign to greet you with his “Happy Halloween” message.  The top of the cup is surrounded by a scalloped border and has bats and stars flying in the night sky on the back.  Both containers measure 2.25" to the top of the cup (9" to the top of the wire handle) x 2.75"x 2.75"    .  



 The cups are one-of-a-kind originals created from paper mache, and will not be repeated.  They will come signed and numbered.

To purchase one of the candy cups, please email me after the PFATT Marketplace opens on Monday, June 10th.  I will sell the candy cups to the first collector to email me with the price of the piece in the subject line.  Please send the emails to:  monkeycatsstudio@charter.net.  
 
As always, thank you so much for your consideration and support of my work. I realize I would not be able to create my one-of-a-kind originals and live my creative dream without you!

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!
