PFATT Marketplace Updates Tomorrow Morning!!

Time is flying, and unfortunately the speed of me producing new works is not-yikes!!  Must work faster, must work faster, is my new mantra.  I can't believe we have another PFATT Marketplace update tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (11 Mountain, noon Central and 1 p.m. Eastern) already!    UPDATE: All SOLD...thank you!!

I have three offerings this month,  Baron von Spidey Bones, and two candy containers Lance Lumina and Morrie Moon.

Baron von Spidey Bones is my first full-sized Halloween figure being offered this year.  He has lots of details including his ornate rib cage and the little spiders building webs to help hold his bones together; a rather ornate back of bones, as well, with another spider hard at work;

a small little bone-tie at his neck; a large top hat and a suspicious smiling jack-o'-lantern held in his hand.  He will come signed, dated and numbered by me.  A small note, he is all hand sculpted without the use of molds.

The two candy containers are also handmade paper mache and are hand painted with my original designs.  Both characters, Lance Lumina and Morrie Moon, hold items in their hands and their images overlap a background of a sky filled with stars, swirls and a spiderweb on the back of the containers.

If you are interested in any of the three pieces, go to:

http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/monkeycats.html

then email me at:

monkeycatsstudio@charter.net

after the marketplace opens Tuesday morning with which piece(s) you are interested in and the cost of the piece.  Please remember to include the cost in your email so that I can keep it fair for all collectors.

I'm off to go mix paper mache clay now! Must work faster, must work faster......

Painting on a New Skelly Figure

It is a gorgeous day outside with lots of sunshine so the light is excellent for painting.   What am I working on you might ask...Halloween of course.   He doesn't look like much so far with things just roughed in so I will try to remember to take photographs throughout the day to update his evolution.   

Hope you like his skeletonized start!

Have a great day!

One of My Favorite Things

With Mother's Day approaching I thought I would share one of my favorite things with you...goat's milk soap.  I purchased my first bars years ago in a little shop in Colorado, and initially used them to scent our blanket closet.  I eventually unwrapped the still scented soap to use for bathing and fell in love immediately.  I just don't think you can beat this soap, especially if you have dry skin!

I love the patchouli scent (the bars on the right) and I also love the mint scent (left and front center), but I LOVE that they combined my two favorite scents into one bar (top center)!!  It is pure pampering in that little bar of goodness!! 

The bars were cut for me on Saturday and I plan on taking pieces of handmade paper and wrapping the bars as Mother's Day gifts for this coming weekend.   If you need a little something extra to give as a Mother's Day gift, consider a few bars of a special scent you know your Mother would love! (and maybe pick up one for yourself!)

Have a great week!
