Hallow Bunny




I was asked a while back by Robert Brawley aka The Halloween Fanatic to sculpt “Hallow Bunny “
one of his quirky characters , cute isn't it ? Of course I agreed, so he sent me his OOAK bunny drawing.
Which I get to keep, yay!! , well I finally finished it and sent him on his way, thanks Robert for being so
patient .











Oh you want to see all of him you say ? Well you'll just have to mosey on down to Roberts blog to do that...

Glitters is home, his new home that is, with none other than the "Halloween Fanatic"

Isn't this a sweet picture of them together?



You can see him on one of Roberts blog at "Enchanted Holidays" blog, Robert is an artist too, so be sure to take a look at all his delightful art when you visit with him, I think his hound dog is one of the cutest pieces!!!And tell him I said hello ok? Thanks !!

Busy busy busy....

and never enough time....I just barely finished my newest updates for SpookyTimeJingles

Senor Vampire




Clueless Male

A cautionary tale about a clueless male,
who took a shortcut through an
ominous trail !!
He did not tarry but quickened his pace,
heading towards his appointed place.
Much to his relief and delight,
he welcomed a stranger that fearful night.
Resplendent in costume, he did say
he too was going that way,
to the very same soiree...?

Chilly Willy



Winter Folk

Winters chill is in the air,
A glimmer here and a shimmer there!
It's frosty harvest laid out bare,
when winter folk begin to appear.
It's a time for merriment and
Good Cheer,
for loved ones far and near.
This is that time of year
for all that we hold dear.

by Flora Thompson

Cover Girl....

A while back I told y'all that I had sent a doll to Cloth Paper Scissors and they said they were interested in her? Well looky looky ....



Isn't it WONDERFUL???!!!
I was speechless..but only for a nano second, then I emailed some of my friends and family. My run of bad luck is just a distant memory.....:)

I had to show you what a sweet thing my dh did, he came home with this beautiful bouquet of flowers for me , to celebrate my doll being on the cover of the magazine!!!He also brought me some crullers along with other yummy sweets
that I really didn't need but LOVED ... notice the past tense?!!!!:)

Wips...

Absent-minded moon




Where Did I..?

Now where did I put that star ?
I saw her sparkle and glimmer from afar.
Then tucked her in safely on starlight at dawn
or was it moonbeams that I placed her on?
It might have been in stardust,very near to twilight
But still far enough from midnight !

Gentle Snow
A gentle snow has fallen over night,
for all to see in early morning light.
It's gossamer beauty blankets the land,
And I'm a child once again, catching
snowflakes on my hand.
A gentle snow begins to fall , I think
I'll make a snowman afterall.

Responding to ....

Sargent's Art Sculpt-It! clay, I figured it was better to answer this way about the comments. Although it isn't my most favorite clay, I really didn't mind it.
I tried to get better pictures to show how the piece looked after I took a wet stiff bristle, nylon brush and rubbed the entire surface firmly, it seemed to respond much better, than with the sanding for smoothing out the clay, but only after it had dried a couple of days . I did this so that the shrinkage and cracking would all be done with. I also rolled out the clay fairly thick and placed the wet foam core base on it and then smoothed out the ends.



Isn't it rather strange that this tophat stayed so smooth and without cracking,
but the head did have cracks and puckering.I think that the clay application to the head was much thinner and that's why it had different results? but the brim still needs some smoothing.

I think this clay would be FANTASTIC for Balljoint dollmaking ,So I'm gonna give that a go, soon...
Let me know if there are any more questions I can answer for anyone.
Blessings,Flora

clay...

I love to try out new clay, so when I saw this at my Hobby Lobby, I quickly bought it and began to create.
It was so yummy looking, trancelucent and creamy, but it had a strange medicinal smell ... kinda odd..iodine, that's what it smelled like, no it REEKED of it!!!

But I thought ok I'll give it a try and it was a bit like what I think a polymer would behave like? Only I could add a little water and it smoothed easily, hmmm I think I like this...

Wrong it tugged a lot and when dry, every little imperfection showed up???!!!I couldn't even get my sandpaper to work on it!!!?? So I gave my Dremel a try, no luck there either???!!!!??
Wow this stuff is pretty indestructible!!! I'm not too happy about the shrinking either, because it liked to crack? So I added a bit of fresh clay to it and that seemed to do the trick.






Well I think I know what I'm going to try with this next time...
blessings,Flora

Stay with me.....

My entry for EHAG Tombstone Challenge,I wasn't sure if I was going to make the
hand gorey or whimsical, I decided I didn't much care for gore....
I think it was a wise choice.

Simple base


clay characters added




clay letters added and painting begun


Although not a good picture you can see what it was going to look like with the bones painted to look as if the were poking out...
