Ghoultide Gathering and A Halloween Blog Sale

Ghoultide Gathering is this weekend, October 4th in Chelsea, Michigan.  If you are in the area and love Halloween art it is some of the finest in the country, which  I am humbled to be included as a participant.  I have been working for months sculpting and painting and hope to have created something magical for collectors to enjoy.  I hope to see you Saturday, and please grab my elbow to tell me hello if you make the journey!

 Above is a photograph of Milton Mouse and a few other characters in the works.  They are now all painted and bundled in bubble wrap to make their trek to Ghoultide.

I have a new Frankenstein figure this year that is designed more off of the Boris Karloff portrayal of the monster, and also new this year is  the "Bride." Her hair looks better in person.

Count Siegfried Overbite will also be at Ghoultide to Trick or Treat this year....something tells me he is more of a trickster so I think I need to keep a watchful eye on this character!!

Edgar will also be making an appearance on my table this year....with a raven on his wrist of course and.....

Burton Bat will also be flying in to take part in the festivities.  Burton is my first fully sculpted bat figure so I'm excited to add bats to my repertoire. 

Many other figures and lanterns and new candy containers will also be joining the group this year.

I hope to see you in Chelsea.

For those of you unable to attend Ghoultide, I will be hosting a blog sale here on Sunday, October 12th, at 8 p.m.  I will sell the works to the first collectors to email me after the sale begins on Sunday evening on a first come first serve basis. I will be posting more about the sell in the following week.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you liked what I was sharing!  Hope to see you at Ghoultide!!

Peter Peter is Available

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!   Peter is already sold.
 
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her, he put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well.

Peter made a lovely pumpkin shell home for his wife and here she is popping out the roof to survey everything around her.

 

Peter is actually quite smitten with his wife and keeps a pretty close eye on her to assure she stays in her lovely abode.

Peter has the perfect hands and fingers to dig out the pumpkin seeds from the structure he made....which I guess sort of makes him a vegetarian cannibal of sorts since he and his wife are also pumpkins.  Oh dear, I guess there is a slight twist to the story!!

Peter and his lovely wife are $395 plus shipping.  I will sell the work to the first collector to email me following the opening of the EHAG Emporium with the price of the piece in the subject line of the email.  Email me at:  monkeycatsstudio@charter.net

Thank you for your consideration and support of my work!

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,

Had a wife but couldn't keep her;

He put her in a pumpkin shell

And there he kept her very well.

I love this old nursery rhyme and and gave it a Monkey-Cats twist and turned Peter and his wife into pumpkin figures.  

For those of you unfamiliar with my work, my figures are hand-sculpted of paper mache, painted in acrylic paint and sealed with a matte polymer varnish.  This figure stands 15.5" tall and measures 7" in width.  The figure will come signed, numbered and dated.

 As part of the EHAG Emporium Challenge, I will be offering Peter and his wife for sale at 9 p.m. (ET)  tomorrow night, April 30th.  I will sell the work to the first collector to email me after the Emporium opens with the price of the piece in the subject line.

 I hope you like my little interpretation of the nursery rhyme!!

Thank you for your consideration!
Laurie
