Ghoultide Gathering

Hi All! here is just a sampling of Some of my Wicked Gals getting ready to go to the Ghoultide Gathering Halloween show. I am so excited about this years gathering as I now know what to expect and how many pieces to have. I can't wait to see all of the Halloween treasures and my artist friends once again!

Ghoultide Witches!

MIA

Hi All!! I am Back!!! After several months of not being able to log on to my blog account, we have things figured out and I am able to post on here again! I Have been busy getting sketches done for the Ghoultide show in October, and listing a few pieces on Ebay.
We are anxiously waiting for our son to return from Ireland. He has been studying at the Burren College of art this semester and has been gone since Jan. 1.
I have been exploring bas relief sculpture, altered art jewelry and miniature witches. Look for some fun funky pieces coming on ebay!!

Ghoultide Gathering!

WoW!! Back from the Michigan Halloween Show "Ghoutide Gathering"!! What A great Gathering of Artists and collectors!! I am happy to say I came home with very few pieces and several new friends! On One side of me Debra Schoch of HopHopJingleBoo

http://www.rucusstudio.com/ So you can imagine how in awe I was!! They are both fabulous artists and their pieces are unbelievable!! They were both so nice!! The people were lined up before 8 am, and by 9:30 I had sold a big chunk of my inventory! Across the way sat Pat Murphy and her husband, I have long admired her bears and they are so much better up close!! also across from me was Vaughn and Stephanie Rawson of the Whimsical Whittler http://www.whimsicalwhittler.com/index1.php Their Halloween carvings were phenominal!! I also met Carolee Clark of King of Mice studios http://www.kingofmice.com/aaa/Home.htm Her paintings were fabulous and flying from her diplay!! Paul Gordon was also there with his magical pieces!! He was a hoot! I met so many other Artist and collectors! I apologize if I haven't mentioned you!! It was a wonderful gathering and I am looking forward to next years show!!

"Halloween in June"

Finally I have a new Witch that will be listed on PFATT Marketplace. We Are All Offering Halloween Goodies this month! I have been working on some Altered Art and Collage pieces. I don't know about other Artists but when I step out of my box and try something new it takes awhile to share!! When I get up the courage I will list them.... here is a peek!

Sorry I am a BAD Blogger!!

Sorry I know it has been months since I have updated!! I am really bad at this, I get busy, start a hundred projects, run to all of the activities my kids are involved in and never seem finish anything these days!! Well my Daughter graduated from high school, my oldest Son moved home from college for the summer and my other two Sons are over scheduled for the next three months!! How does everyone do it??
Anyway, I am still working on some Sketches for the show in Michigan, and hopefully getting my piece done for the June pfatt marketplace.

Scholarships and upcoming events

Well Good news on the college search!! Abbey was offered a huge scholarship to MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art And Design) and so that is where she will hang her hat next year!! This is the same college that her brother attends, so whether he likes it or not he will have his little sister underfoot once again! It is a huge relief to have that decision made and all the paperwork processed.
I have decided to participate in a fabulous new Halloween Show, Ghoultide Gatherings!! I am so Excited and am getting sketches done and a schedule made so I can have enough pieces done for that show plus FolkWorks Gallery Halloween show! Here is the link to these websites:
