Laurie Hardin: Updates

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.

In the next two weeks you will find my work available both on eBay as part of the EHAG Artists April Challenge, and at the National Halloween and Haunters Convention in Pennsylvania (click on the link to find out more...some of you have asked about it). That Dani girl, leader of the SpookyTime Jingles' gaggle of talented artists, will be hosting the STJ booth for us and I would love to attend just to see all the goodies and meet some of the STJ artists!!

Besides Big Head Benny going to PA, so is the little Halloween Skelly ornament shown below.

I also need to apologize again for my blogging absence. I have found I am bound to the studio table to paint and sculpt to try to get ready for these two events along with trying to create something for the STJ update in April. I over committed for the month of April I'm afraid, and I promise to try to get more focused in the coming months....hee, hee, hee (if you know me that was a really crazy promise)!!

Have a great day and happy creating!!
Laurie

Happy Monday!

Love both pieces that will be going to the Haunters Convention. I'm sure they will BOTH get snapped up!

Looking forward to seeing your EHAG creative challenge auction as well. It's been awhile since you've had an eBay auction on.

Have a great week!
