I'm Singing The Renovation Blues.....





















We're having a lot cosmetic work done on our little house, and ooooooh what a mess. I was very enthused when it all started, and as this week has progressed, I can feel the enthusiasm trickling out of me in a steady stream. Not one room in our house is normal right now, things are stacked up, or stashed under beds, boxes of stuff are placed in every available spot, and it's a hideous mess! It'll take forever to put it all back. Today is the beginning of the new kitchen cabinet installation.....all the dishes, glasses, ceramic cookware, canned and boxed food... it's all over my house! I'm getting claustrophobic! But somehow, in the midst of all this confusion and mess, I've managed to come up with two items for the August Halloween Queens Castle Bootique. That's August 1. Don't miss it, as it's not that long til Halloween now, and we're all getting fired up. It's almost the best time of year!

Coming Up...







This is my latest creation, made for the Halloween Queens Castle Bootique. "Merry Moon" will be available starting May 1.

I'm currently working on am adorable red fox assemblage, to be listed on Ebay soon. I'm very excited about this piece. It's unlike anything I've done before, and the charming storybook quality of the piece is enchanting.

Just Finished....


I've been fascinated by old carnival signage for quite some time, along with those wonderful old carny wagons. I think this interest was born while watching HBO's Carnivale, years ago. That show just dripped atmosphere. It really sparked my imagination, with its colorful carny wagons, and even more colorful characters.
With that in mind, I bought this ceramic glove form, which is fired to the bisque stage, and handpainted this vintage-inspired palm reader advertisement. The beautiful Gypsy fortune teller is taken from an old fortune telling card box. In the palm of the glove form is the "all-seeing eye", or maybe the "third eye", I think it's called.
I did this in acrylics and sealed it with matte sealer. I don't this item listed yet, not sure where I want to list yet, but will let you know when I do.
