Carlton the Crow Counter

"Carlton the Crow Counter" is finished so I thought I would share. Carlton's job is to count each and every crow available for the Halloween season. He arranges their training schedules, vocal lessons, vacations, as well as their sick leave and retirement plans. He is adored by the crows so much that they even presented him with his own crow counting scepter. They recognized the many organizational skills inside that mushy seed-filled little head of his.

Carlton so loves Halloween he plans and arranges for the event year round. I met one of his little crow buddies on vacation at the Grand Canyon a few years ago and he was the first crow I ever saw fly upside down while letting out an, "Ah-ha," with each flip and roll he did. Now I realize Carlton must have had him in a special flight and vocal class. True story.

Have a great weekend!

New Blog Background Color

I made a pretty major change to the look of my blog last night. I had recently received an email from a friend that found my black background almost impossible to read any longer due to her eye disease. I had been considering a change so this was all I needed for me to finally get it done. I had to pick colors that worked with my banner, which limited me a bit, but I think it turned out fine. Hope you like the change!

Also, below are Boo T. and Bee Witched Wicked together. Boo T. is that crazy friend we all have that is the life of the party and no matter how long it has been since you last saw her, it always feels like it was just yesterday. She is a gals' gal. She isn't the beauty in the group, but she is the most beautiful person you know...that is this little character, Boo T.

Boo T. and Bee Witched are taking a trip together to Michigan this fall to Ghoultide Gathering, October 2. Check out the website link in the left column to learn more about that wonderful Halloween show!

Hope your day is going well!

Bee Witched Wicked

Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend filled with family and things you like to do when you have an extra day to rest or play. We certainly did in our house, but I also managed some time in the studio and finished up Bee Witched Wicked...Bee Wicked's oldest daughter. Like her mother, Bee Witched is a flyer of the highest order and wears her bat wings on her pearl necklace. Unlike her mother, Bee Witched likes a little more ornamentation on her garments, so she additionally wears stars from the night sky on her flying cape, hat and boots...she can be a bit of a diva.

This little witch is one of two completed over the weekend so I'll give you a peek of the second one later this week. Off to go work on a pumpkin boy that is calling to me from the studio table!!

Have a great week!
