Laurie Hardin: The "Spooks" Are Done

Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

The "Spooks" Are Done

Here is the group shot of the three little spooks for January's SpookyTime Jingles update. They are camera hams...I got the camera out, set them up, turned around and there they were all three smiling back at me ready for their picture. Silly little things!! The group is composed of 2 skelly figures, "I Come Bearing Halloween Eggs" at the top of the group, and "St. Skeletine" on the left; and 1 lone pumpkin boy on the right dressed in Easter attire, "Hopper", with bunny ears and all.

I'll give you a sneak peek at the little jingles for January on Monday!!

Have a great Saturday and happy creating!!!

Laurie

PJHornbergerFolkArtist.com said...: Your sculpting is very good, but my favorite is your painting! You do so much detail on every piece. Very impressive, definitely your style. ~PJ; January 12, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Monkey-Cats Studio said...: Sonia, I like my boys to be happy!!! 2009 promises a new dental plan for the group.

Thank you Joycee, I tried to make them spooky-sweet!! HA!

Caroline, I think we can use all the smiles we can get so I prefer a smile on the figures faces to them being scary.

Jackie, I am so glad you stopped by...the bunny was such fun to create...it practically painted itself!

Michelle, Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting on my "boys". Loved looking at your blog, etsy and web sites.

PJ...painting, well sometimes I think about the little girls abroad going blind from detail work and wonder if I will see when I'm old...I mean older. HA!!

Thank you all for your comments...it feeds this all consuming blog!!
