A bit of a morsel....

To whet your appetite, my Dark Princess is a doorprize for this coming SpookyTimeJingles update, with her soulful eyes...



Her full crepe collar frames her face perfectly, you can almost see one of the 2 tiny
buttons I painted on her front bodice, peeking out from under the collar and I also painted an opened scalloped lace sash beneath it.

this picture shows the back detail with painted buttons.

I have to tell y'all about this:
I recieved one of the most lovely emails from a regular customer of mine, who bought my Marley. I wish I could post it all here but I will not embarrass her.
I will say that the response I got from her when she opened the package with Marley in it was absolutely PRICELESS!!!
She is one of the most endearingly funny and articulated person I have ever had the pleasure of " knowing", she makes me laugh and warms my heart...
Many Thanks,Dana!!!
Blessings,Flora

I have been looking high and low for picture postcards of my pierrot,harlequin,clown costumed logo girl to no avail!I need her picture for a project I'm doing , where I can enlarge her without the graphic getting blurry and I would appreciate it if anyone can send them my way or send the links where I can purchase them? Many Thanks
in advance.

Here kitty kitty...

This teeny tiny kitty is part of my next Imp, a Witch, she will be a hanging ornie.
I just thought that whiskers was too cute standing there by himself, that I had to show y'all!!

See how teeny he is,I see that his leg needs a bit of adjusting too.

This kinda kitty is the best kind, although I do love the live bitty kittys!!
Blessings,
Flora

Bye bye little buddy!!....

Another little Imp done and ready to go! This is " Snowman Imp and Hootie "




A doodle and a base

a rough shaped base and rolled out clay

put together and a figure emerges...actually this is already dried a little and being sanded.

Not quite right, the neck needs to be adjusted at more of an angle.

All that's needed is paint and embellishments.
Thank you Pattee!!!!

Better late than never......

I added a short description, below, of each picture for y'all.

Ghoulie Gourds

When 12 o’clock draws near
A pair of Ghoulie Gourds appear !
A rowdy, randy twosome,
Kinda shocking and oh so gruesome!
No, this ain’t no time for saints,
But plenty “o” time for haints !

Ahhhh!!! decisions decisions decisions!!!!
