Halloween and Vine is this weekend! Who's with me?!!

Hi Everyone!

The time is almost here when I pack up my van and bring my ghastly ghouls with me to Halloween and Vine!  A wonderful Halloween Art Collector's Show!  If you have never attended, you are truly missing out on walking into Halloween Heaven.  So much gorgeous Halloween artwork under one big roof.  I get giddy just thinking about it!

Here is the link to check out the show details.  www.halloweenandvine.com    This will be my third year attending and selling my artwork.  I am so thrilled to be one of the artist there.  Truly, I work all year making my little beasties just for this occasion.  Sure hope you can come if you are in the area.  You won't regret it and will certainly be back each year.

Here are a few things I am bringing with me!







There are so many more pieces, but not enough time to edit all the pictures.  If you follow me on facebook, keep watching there as I will be posting pictures of the whole adventure.  Soooo much fun!

I will be loading up all my girls (Family and Friends) and we are off to have a wickedly fun girls weekend!!  

Wish me luck!

Halloween merriment is only 2 weeks away!! Time to catch you up!

Hi Everyone!

I'm finally back to blogging after spending months at my worktable working my little heart out on my new lineup of Halloween characters.  I tell you, it has been a whirlwind of sculpting, sanding, painting and dressing up my little spooky/sweet gang.  So much has happened since my last blog post.  Time has ran away from me, but I will try and catch you up now.

First off, I am sending you a BIG HUG and hoping that you are all well and happy in your corner of the world.  Our favorite season is rapidly approaching and I can finally feel it in the air!!! YAY!!!  Leaves are falling, the nights are getting cooler, and the moon is big and bright in the night sky!!  Halloween items are in the stores and my heart races a bit to see it all!!  I hope you are enjoying it too!

I am excited to say that my article in Art Doll Quarterly Magazine looks amazing!!  My sweet coffin doll, Sophie and Sebastian were published in the August 2016 issue!!   This piece will be available at Halloween and Vine on Saturday, September 24th in Petaluma, CA.  Go to www.halloweenandvine.com for more info.  Below are some pictures of my article!

 Pretty cover of Jennie Helper-Takens pumpkin girl!  





It never gets old to see your art in print!  So happy to have been selected to write an article for this incredible magazine.  Congratulation to all the artists represented!  
It is a keepsake issue for sure!

Here are some pictures of a few things I have been working on and bringing to the show.  

A sweet, ghostie lantern that lights up!  I caught him out in the back yard and locked him up safe and sound!


I will be bringing some new ghostie lollipop grabbers with me.  
Some sweet ... some sour!!





There are lots of new wands!!  Skellies, Cats and Eyeball wands.  Need to still take pictures of most of them.   Below are a couple of the skellie wands!



I am also bringing a whole gang of sweet and sour ghosts with me!  Below is a sweet girl next to the Halloween and Vine postcard.  So excited to be going!



And it wouldn't be Halloween for me, if I didn't make some Ghoulie Cakes to bring with me.  Below is a picture of the Candy Man!  My tribute to Willy Wonka!!  


Well, I think I have caught you up on quite a bit!  I will be posting more pictures in the coming days as I get ready to pack my bags and get ready for the show!
