<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi Friends and Followers of my blog!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thought it was about time to sit down and update my page to show you some of the new dolls I have been working on for my upcoming shows this fall. I decided to call my collection of dolls "Bitter Sweets". In keeping with the Charmed Confections candy theme, I thought the name suited the dolls. I'm liking it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last year and in previous years past, I made various dangle dolls ... witches, skeletons and such. I loved the process and wanted to get back to making a few of them again. I am super proud of these three. These dolls are reminiscent of some of my Trunk Monster characters in the past, now with full bodies. Sure hope you like them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am finishing up another on my worktable today. She is very different, but I am loving the challenge. I'll post pictures when I finish. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am happy to announce all three will be published in the upcoming 2017 August issue of Art Doll Quarterly Magazine. I am honored and excited to be in the publication once again. This year's Halloween edition should be a very special one. I am looking forward to it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is Gertie and her skeleton dolly. I love how her lower legs and hands turned out. Her sweet Mary Jane shoes were a must and really add a nice touch to her sweet and sour little girl look.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lola was so fun to create. I wanted to keep with the ice cream sherbet colors for this piece. She looks really yummy. She is holding a picture of her dearly departed (but very much loved) Aunt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted to create a clay corset for this doll and Lola (the day of the dead doll above). Using the same technique as I did on my coffin last year, I was able to whip out a corset in no time. I am loving the look ... the lacing up effect turned out perfect! I couldn't be more happier with my attempt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Belladonna's tiny shoes are adorned with a teeny, tiny skull. I felt like a shoe cobbler for a few days creating little heels for all these dolls. My new doll I am working on has high heel boots. Wait till you see! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my last post, I mentioned that some of my Charmed Confections will be able through Bethany Lowe Designs. Such a dream come true for me that my art will be available at fine retails stores. I am still having those moments of disbelief that it is actually happening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, a couple of days ago, I received a copy of Bethany Lowe Designs 2017 Catalog. Here are a couple of pictures for you. Seeing is believing! I'm so honored to be part of the Bethany Lowe family of artists! This is such a beautiful catalog and the works of the other licensed artists within are simply outstanding! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have a retail shop, you might be interested in becoming a wholesaler of Bethany Lowe items. You can find them at <a href="http://www.bethanylowedesigns.com/">www.bethanylowedesigns.com</a>. Request a catalog!</span><br />

There is nothing better to me than being in a crowd of people who love Halloween!! The excitement and magic was truly in the air that day! So much to see! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you haven't been to the show, you really need to take the time to visit! Here is the link for the show this year. The name has changed to All Hallow's Art Fest, but it is still at the same location and same time as years past. I am happy and honored to be there again for my 4th year! Get ready for some new changes for Charmed Confections ... some sweet, creepy things in the works! </span><br />

Who's with me?!!<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">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!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is the link to check out the show details. <a href="http://www.halloweenandvine.com/">www.halloweenandvine.com </a> 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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are a few things I am bringing with me!</span><br />

Time to catch you up!<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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 <a href="http://www.halloweenandvine.com/">www.halloweenandvine.com</a> for more info. Below are some pictures of my article!</span><br />

I<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t 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! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is a keepsake issue for sure!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">More good news? YES!! I am now the newest artist to be signed by Bethany Lowe Designs!! If you know of Bethany Lowe Deigns, you know them for their incredible holiday collectibles that you can purchase right in your own local retail, specialty stores. I am so excited to be a part of their family of artists, and can't believe that someday (hopefully, Halloween 2017) some of my Charmed Confections will be in stores for the collectors!!!

A new skellie head sculpt which I am loving. I've done quite a few of these now. They are all ready to go, painted and ready to mount on some beautiful wands. Fun little jingles have been added inside the skellie heads. When you shake the head in your hands it actually jingles!! Eeeeee .... so fun!!!<br />

My new ornaments this year! Skellie bats, cats and mice are almost done! The above pic is a work in progress. Head still needs to be painted, bones shaded and final touches to be made, but I am thrilled with them so far! Stay tuned on these!<br />

The witches are coming! The witches are coming! Yes, they are and I couldn't be more pleased to see them. Of course, I will be painting these witches green. I think most of my witches are green. Who doesn't love a green witch? These little hags are now sculpted and will be added to their bodies shortly. Exciting!!!!<br />
<br />
So much more to show you, but I will stop for now. I have been sanding and painting away for the past month, so the month of July is a month of assembly and completion. I am exciting to meet my new creations and I hope that you will stick around to see them too!<br />
<br />
Well, I should get back to my worktable! Until then, I hope you follow your dreams ... they just might come true! <br />

Turn the Page!"<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's been a few months since my last post, so I thought I should catch up my blog with what has been happening here at Charmed Confections, and with me in general. So far, this year has been a "year of change". Lots of changes in my life and I am trying to deal with them as they come. It is not always easy to do. I am a creature of habit. So, when my apple cart has been upended, I find myself regrouping, re-evaluating and searching for a new direction. When this does get the best of me, I am glad that my art keeps me somewhat sane.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is the latest piece of art off my worktable. It was made for a very sweet customer of mine that I met years ago at a local craft show. She has always wanted a one of my cats. I have to nervously laugh, as I am still somewhat shocked people love my art and want in it their collection. Don't think I will ever get over that. I was thrilled to meet up with her and hand deliver this piece. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When they say the gift is in the giving, it really is true. Her face lit up upon seeing it and it warmed my heart that she was so happy. As with any customer purchasing something from me, I want them to be truly happy with their purchase. Making money is hard! No matter what you do. If my customers are going to spend it on something from me, I want them to love it for years. That is probably why it takes me a bit to get anything done. :) She was delighted and I was relieved and honored that she wanted to add another piece to her collection. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here are the pics!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So what's with the apple cart up-ending? I recently decided to quit my day job. Yup, I did it! If you have been following my blog, you know that I have dreamed of doing this ... waiting on my Fairy Godmother to whisk me away. Well, dream no longer. It is a reality! Truly a blessing! So now I am a full time artist trying to navigate through my day and still be productive. It is a big adjustment. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After working a day job since the age of 15, I'd say so! My last job, I was there 22 years working for the same boss. It was time to leave and I am excited to ... "ding, turn the page" on this new chapter of my life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lately, I have been immersing myself in art. Art really does soothe the soul and takes your mind off your woes. I am sure I will find my feet in this new endeavor and excited to do so! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Exciting News!!! I will be at Halloween and Vine again this year!! So thrilled to be going to Petaluma once again to show off my Halloween art. Go to </span><a href="http://www.halloweenandvine.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">www.HalloweenandVine.com</a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> for the details. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm also, happy to say that my sweet coffin doll, Sophie (see her in the post below this one) will be featured in the August issue of Art Doll Quarterly Magazine!!! Yup, she will be featured along with an article on the process of her creation. So thrilled about that! You can find Art Doll Quarterly Magazine at Barnes and Noble bookstores, Michaels, Joanns or you can order one directly from <a href="http://www.stampington.com%20/">www.stampington.com </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, lots of changes going on. I am confident that they are good ones. I am going to follow my dream and see how far I get! I just need to learn to relax and be confident this is where the Lord wants me. One foot in front of the other, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hope you are well and happy in your world. Sending out BIG hugs to you all!!</span><br />

<br />
Hope this posting finds you well and happy in your world. As you all know, I love Halloween, but before all of that, I was born with a love of DOLLS! If I think back to my childhood, I always had a little trinket of some sort in my pocket or in my hands. I was completely in love with Kiddles. Do you remember those dolls? Tiny, little things and you could hide them in your pocket, they were so small. Big headed dolls with tiny bodies in comparison. They usually had big hair, big eyes and smelled good too! I loved them!! In fact, I still have a few in my personal doll collection. What has this to do with my latest piece? Well, at first ... nothing. But as I stand back to admire my newest piece, I find some similarities and have to giggle.<br />
<br />
When speaking of my art with family, friends or customers, the most common question I am asked is, where do my ideas come from. It is a very difficult question for me to answer. The truth is ... it's just pops in my head. I find my art and ideas are mostly pulled from past feelings and memories. I'll see something and it sparks a thought and it grows into an idea from there.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago, I went to visit a cemetery close to my house (out in the middle of nowhere) that dates all the way back to the early 1800's. I love cemeteries! I find them to be a wealth of architectural beauty. I love reading the headstones as sometimes you can gleam a little knowledge of the person to whom it belongs too. <br />
<br />
It was a glorious day! Gorgeous and mild. I spent a few hours roaming the stones and visiting with those I past. I met three sisters, several soldiers, entire families, children gone way too early, and small, baby girl who was on the very outskirts of the graveyard. She was very endearing to me. Born 1865 and I am sure her family is long gone by now. I hope that I will be able to get back there someday soon and bring her some flowers to cheer her. I guess, I feel that motherly affection for her.<br />
<br />
Where is all this talk leading? Well, I would like to introduce you to Sophie and Sebastian! My newest Charmed Confection. In past posts, I showed you pictures of a coffin I was sculpting on. This is the final product. My sweet ghostie girl, Sophie, who is not by any means tiny, but reminds me somewhat of a kiddle doll I use to play with. Her sweet, shy, but possibly worried face, ties into my trip to the graveyard for inspiration and how a small child ghost might behave. <br />
<br />
I do hope you like her. Since I did not want Sophie to be lonely out there on the outskirts of the graveyard, I needed to make her a tiny kitty cat for company. Cats are good companions and sooth the soul. <br />

This piece is almost 18" tall and 12" wide. Sophie and Sebastian are sculpted out of clay, painted and then shaded to give them a ghostly appearance. The coffin is handcrafted out of wood by the very talented husband and wife duo, Mark and Rae Davis of Calaveras Coffin Co. You can find them on Facebook under that name. They make gorgeous, wooden coffins in all sizes finished and unfinished. You can even ask for a custom size, as I did with this piece. If you are looking to use a coffin in your art, I would highly recommend their's. I purchased an unfinished coffin and decided to sculpt side panels, roses, skulls, leaves and vines on it.<br />

Here is a close up picture. Each rose and skull was sculpted one at a time and then assembled on the coffin --- kinda like a puzzle. I added the leaves and vines after.<br />

Here you can see how beautiful those side panels turned out! Love them!! Pretty pleased with how the coffin turned out. The stone block work on the base is out of clay too. Hours and hours of sculpting time here. Sophie carries a tiny lantern with a real candle inside to light her way through the night. Sebastian the cat is darling with his tiny painted bones --- always by her side.<br />

A cute picture of Sebastian's backside. He was so fun to create! </div>

So, in closing, where can you draw on inspiration? Just about anywhere. From my love of Kiddle dolls when I was a small child, to graveyard where I met new friends. <br />
<br />
Where do you draw inspiration from? Drop me a line and let me know. :)<br />
<br />
Until next time!<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hope this blog post finds you well and happy in your corner of the world. The holidays are over and I am now settling back into my art and plans for the new year. This year, I am thinking full bodied dolls ... and much more ... winged things! Kinda excited to put my plans in motion. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last year, I met a wonderful lady by the name of Rae Davis at Halloween and Vine ... the Halloween show I participated in last year. She and her husband, Mark, are the owners and artists of Calaveras Coffin Co. (Their link is below.) They specialize in handcrafted decorative coffins and unique Halloween decor. They also feature various artist's one of a kind creations too! If you love Halloween, you need to check them out!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.32px;">I was so in love with their coffins, I just had to buy an unfinished one to see if I could sculpt on it. Roses, skulls, leaves and vines! Tedious work to say the least, but I am loving the results and hope you like it too! I will adding one of my characters to go inside. This piece will be offered for purchase at a later date.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I started with an unfinished coffin, beautifully made by Calaveras Coffin Co. I sculpted all the roses, skulls, leaves and intertwining vines. All hand done and very time consuming, but I love the results! Now to paint, distress and spooky it up! Then on to making the doll to go inside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The coffin had these beautiful cutouts on the sides. I used stamped clay and placed them in the cutouts. Clay tends to shrink when dry, so it was tricky to get it in there just perfect!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As mentioned in my last post, I wanted to share some of the works that I took to Halloween and Vine last year. These charming characters are all hand sculpted and placed in wooden trunks that I have aged using an array of mixed media. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All these trunks are sold, I am thrilled to say. It is truly a "pinch me moment" when your art sells. I am so very thankful of my customers and collectors. You keep me going!</span><br />

<br />
Hopefully this post finds you well and happy! Things have settled down in the Charmed Confections' studio and I'm back to blogging. Nice to come back and look at my site and see how this year has unfolded for me. Blogging reminds me somewhat of a diary ... (that everyone can read) ... but it also is a wonderful reminder of where I've been and where I am headed. Looking back at the art created and my progression, I am so very thankful to be able to do what I love -- even if it is only part time due to the day job. :)<br />
<br />
But, before I get ahead of myself, I would like to say, "Thank You" to all of my followers and collectors. Without you, my art has no wings! I truly mean this. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing someone delight in what you create. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this opportunity to share a little of me with you!<br />
<br />
Since I have not blogged in a while, there is so much to catch up on. I will have to do it in a few postings. My Halloween shows were wonderful! Halloween and Vine in Petaluma, CA, once again, was a huge hit! I just loved seeing my fellow artists and their amazing works! This year the art was incredible! Loved seeing some of my collectors again and meeting new ones too! I have much to share on my Halloween art, but will post about that soon, giving you finished pictures of some of the art you didn't see here.<br />
<br />
As for today, I would like to introduce you to "A Wink and a Smile". This sweet Santa is going to be displayed in a local gallery here in Sacramento, CA. The gallery is called, The Art of Toys. You can visit it by going to <a href="http://www.artoftoys.com/">www.artoftoys.com</a>. I belong to a local artist doll group called, DollWorks. We have been invited to show and sell our art at the gallery. I am really excited, as this will be my first piece ever in a gallery. Sounds fancy! Ha! Ha! In all seriousness, I am thrilled by this opportunity. Who would have thought my art would take me there? I still consider myself as learning this art form. I don't think that will ever go away. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you like him! Santa is 15 1/2" tall - sculpted out of paper clay.<br />

I also wanted to mention that I did a really dumb thing lately. In deleting my spam emails, I happened to delete my entire inbox. Yup! Gone! So, if you sent me an email in the past that I did not respond to, please forgive me. I am starting from scratch again. Drop me a line and I will get back to you. Promise!<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Sending out big hugs to you all!<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The above picture is a work in progress of some heads that I have created for my line of Trunk Monsters. These trunks will hold the happy couples in them. Can't wait for you to see these! Still finishing them up and time is raging on. Only a week before the show - I'm cutting it close. Say a little pray that I finish these!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, guess I should be off. Hope all is well and happy in your corner of the world. I will try and post more pictures as soon as I can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

Come see!!<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guess who? Yes, it's me, LeeAnn - returned from the dead. I know... I can hardly believe it myself. LOL! It has been forever ago since I have last blogged. I am glad, I still know how. Hope if I have still any followers out there, that you are happy in your corner of the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been living a solitude life at my work table, sculpting away the hours in preparation of the upcoming show - Halloween and Vine. Go to www.halloweenandvine.com for more info. A wonderful, upscale art show hosted in Petaluma, CA, featuring some of the best Halloween artwork! I am always excited to go and see all the goodies there! If you are a Halloween lover like I am, this is Halloween Heaven on earth!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, after working the day job, I come home each night to work the night job of creating my Charmed Confections. It is a labor of love for sure and I am excited about the characters I am bringing to the show! A lot of mischief and merriment happening around the studio right now!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can find my skellie couple below on Page 6 with an article write up on them. I love this little couple. These two love birds will be available for purchase at Halloween and Vine! If you are going to the show, it is first come first serve. They will come with a copy of the magazine! How fun is that?! I can't wait to meet their new owner!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I do have a couple of other pieces --- My Midnight Magic Cat and my Scaredy Boys are published in the Show and Tell section of the magazine too! These will be available at Halloween and Vine as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am thrilled with this issue of Art Doll Quarterly. So many of my wonderful friends are in the magazine! Congratulations to them all! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thought it would be a good idea to post in my blog and catch up where I left off? Hope you all had a blessed Mother's Day! My daughter was working, so she spoiled me on Saturday with flowers and my favorite perfume. I cried over the card ... that girl know just the right thing to say to make me feel special. I hope you were spoiled a little too! I spent Sunday with my sweet Mom. We had a BBQ over at her house and she and I worked on ornaments for the Halloween and Vine show. My finished cupcake ornies needed their hangers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wanted to catch up my blog on the latest happenings here in my studio! Halloween and Vine (A fantastical Halloween Art Show) is approaching and I am so thrilled to be in the show once more selling my Charmed Confections. You can go to<a href="http://www.halloweenandvine.com/"> www.halloweenandvine.com</a> to check out the details. They are celebrating their 20th Anniversary! I am thrilled! I remember when I was just standing in line to get in and now I am actually an artist in the show. Crazy!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is an update on my bat! He is my first one, so it is slow going until I work all the kinks out, but he is now primed and ready for paint! I absolutely love how his wings turned out! I studied so many anatomical bat photos that I think he is pretty accurate! Even has a tail and all! I will have to post a picture of his cute backside. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now that I have him figured out, I will make a few more for the show!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Geesh! I should really kick myself for not blogging more. Well, I will give you no excuses. Not this time. Life has been happening and I just pushed my blog to the side. I do hope that you are all well and happy. Speaking of happy ... happy St. Patty's Day to you all! This day always reminds me of my sweet, Irish Dad. I am sure my Mom is cooking him up some Irish dish tonight. Corn-beef and cabbage, perhaps? I, on the other hand, will be hoping my hubby cooks for me. Not likely, but a girl has to dream. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, what's new? I have been working on some new pieces and I have a couple of photos to share of my most recent art. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first is a sweet Skellie Trunk called "I only have an eye for you." </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdL_TTSSyfcvFN7QT2gwT_XskrUz-IE6SvrnX6budoJh3vzx3oO2Lv8hK6xEWCz7EL4v-879qCP8obgKUv3KtkMuxYEp4DQFQUmvXJlx81WkUXYxaoOqQlp5dKnyv-98PqYjtB2WMqqxnj/s1600/Skellie+Trunk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdL_TTSSyfcvFN7QT2gwT_XskrUz-IE6SvrnX6budoJh3vzx3oO2Lv8hK6xEWCz7EL4v-879qCP8obgKUv3KtkMuxYEp4DQFQUmvXJlx81WkUXYxaoOqQlp5dKnyv-98PqYjtB2WMqqxnj/s1600/Skellie+Trunk.jpg" height="640" width="416" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love how this piece turned out. It was quite a puzzle trying to get the two skellie's to fit together. The gentleman skellie has his arm around his gal. His hand is somewhat on her waist. You can see it better from the side angle in the below picture. Do you see their tiny eyeball olives in their cocktails. hee! hee! I couldn't resist!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love how the skellie girl's hair turned out. Love the Gibson girl type bun and curls. She is quite the lady, this sweet skellie girl! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also have been working on a cat and mouse duo. This is my first attempt at a cat (and mouse) for that matter. I hope you like them. The hat they sit in is hand flocked. Something I taught myself last year. LOL! I am always trying to learn something new. Keeps me thinking and dreaming up ideas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently, I am playing with resins. Already had a couple of disasters, but then finally, success! More on that later. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdbgQh590P7gRMUDnxnb-xNBbzcWVazoK6GGuu3-es64E-2Cpb3kgeHVbwJ4btBN58EjS93_n76v5fIbVFxu0YnKQtvfheF-cVTRyImpqzP5s0mqkihQKTNraoxAzHJ3nNKbs2L4oFQs9d/s1600/Cat+Magician.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdbgQh590P7gRMUDnxnb-xNBbzcWVazoK6GGuu3-es64E-2Cpb3kgeHVbwJ4btBN58EjS93_n76v5fIbVFxu0YnKQtvfheF-cVTRyImpqzP5s0mqkihQKTNraoxAzHJ3nNKbs2L4oFQs9d/s1600/Cat+Magician.jpg" height="640" width="402" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The little mouse is removable from the piece. He is jointed at the arms and hips. The cat is doing a magic trick. I think he is trying to guess what card the little mouse is holding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next is my Bat. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He is still a work in progress. (Sorry about my messy work table.) I am still sculpting his legs and feet. His wings are just the skeletal frame. There is still a lot of work to do on them. They will look completely different when finished. But this gives you a look at the inside framing. This guy is a challenge, but his face is downright sweeeeeeeet!</span><br />

Sharing the love!!! Can you say ... GIVEAWAY!!<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi Friends out there in Bloglandia!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Can you believe it is almost time for Valentine's Day? Where is the time going? Someone please slow down this carousel ride, I can't keep up. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hope all is well and happy in your corner of the world. Are you looking forward to this year? Have you already made your goals and plans? Do you have something special that you are looking forward too? Drop me a comment, as I would love to hear what you are doing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Making plans --- I have been trying to do just that. Plan out my year, set some goals (both personal and creative-wise), and find the time to keep learning and trying new things I've always want to. However, with all my good intentions, I am off to a slow start. January flew by for me and then I caught a wonderful flu bug which lasted about three weeks! UGH!! Guess, I should be thankful that I got through Christmas without a hint of a cold. I'm not really sure why I always get my flu shot, when that flu bug seems to find a way to bite me. This year, that little bug is a nasty one. Hopefully, you did not meet up with him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Things at Charmed Confections are looking up though! I am excited about a few things I have in the creative process. Last year was such a big year for my art, I wonder how I can even top it ... if it is even possible for this year. Happy to say that new characters are emerging on paper which I will transfer to clay. It is kind of exciting to think of who will emerge this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my quest for continued artistic knowledge, I have learned some new polymer clay techniques. Definitely not a pro at them, but I am working on perfecting them to the best of my ability. I have been learning how to create canes in polymer and how to reduce them to the tiniest of sizes. I find it pretty fascinating. I am also developing new techniques with paper clay. As soon as I have something I am proud of, I'll share. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the meantime, I wanted to let you all know about a sweet<span style="color: #351c75;"> GIVEAWAY</span>! I am honored to be in a group of talented artists called "<span style="color: #990000;">Folk Art and Primitives</span>". This group is on Etsy and on Facebook. Lots of talented artists, selling wonderful handmade items. This month, the group is celebrating their 2nd Anniversary. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm back ... and it feels good to be back too! I am giggling that my last post was about Thanksgiving. Gee, am I a little late on getting this out or what? I do hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year to each of you! Here is hoping it is one filled with health, happiness, love, a little wealth would be good, and maybe ... a little "happy" excitement too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last year was such a roller coaster of a ride ... super highs and super lows. The highs being that I felt like my art was finally taking off and the lows being health issues in the family (not with me, but with my loved ones). My entire family and extended family have really taken some heavy blows last year. Happy to say that we are slowly on the mend, by the grace of God, and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year, I would like to ride the carousel (not the roller coaster) ... fun music, riding my pretty pony, nice and steady with the wind in my hair ... maybe even catching a brass ring or two. :) One could only hope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am happy to add, that I am back at my work table sculpting. Funny, but when I am away from it for a time, I am hesitant to sit back in my chair. Crazy ... don't know why. I find myself looking for other things to do, but sit there and create. So, I have pushed myself to sit down, turn on my light, and after a few seconds I am like a duck to water. Just need to get my feet wet again. Don't know why I hesitate, because I love it when I create. I know ... I think, I'm nuts too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyway, I am already getting ready for Hallowbaloo and Halloween & Vine 2015!!! Two national Halloween shows that I attended last year. I had so much fun bringing my Charmed Confections there!! Can't wait for this year! I have the dates so mark your calendar!</span><br />

<br />
Well, it has been a whirl wind of fun so far this Halloween season, hasn't it?!! I am sitting here just smiling as I write this, feeling blessed to have had such a wonderful time preparing for my beloved holiday. My sweet doggie, Jake is sleeping under my chair. <br />
<br />
This was my first year participating in two national Halloween shows, Hallowbaloo (in Seattle, WA) and Halloween and Vine (in Petaluma, CA). I have done lots of shows in the past, either working with another artist or showing my art, but both of these two shows specialize in high end Halloween art for the collector. I was, and still am, so excited to have had my Charmed Confections there. It was such a wonderful and memorable time.<br />
<br />
My sister and I drove to Hallowbaloo. 14 hours from where I live, but my sister and I had a great time. Laughing all the way there. If you follow me on facebook, you might have seen all our posts on the trip. I tried to keep you all with me by posting our journey there. So much fun! Check out my Facebook page and see for yourself. Meeting all the artists there, was so fantastic! I have admired them from a far and now, I am so happy to consider each and everyone of them my friends! Such a great, wonderful group of talented, and super kind people. It was a great experience.<br />
<br />
Halloween and Vine was the following weekend! So it was unpack from one show and repack for another. Crazy it was like being on tour ... ok ... in my dreams, if I was a rock star! LOL! Halloween and Vine is such an amazing show. If you live in the area, you sooo need to go! I took my Mom to the show with me this time and we met up with my sister in Petaluma. I have to say, that I loved being with both of them. It was work, but we had a wonderful weekend all together! The show was Fantastic! A huge crowd, fantastic art and artists! Wonderful show hosts that I just love to pieces --- they made me feel so welcome! A frenzy of customers and collectors! It was a cyclone of Halloween madness that I was swept up in. I could have stayed FOREVER!!! There is such a thing as Halloween Heaven! Been there!!! <br />
<br />
When those two shows were over, I came home unpacked and got ready for the next show the following weekend. I know ... three shows - three weekends in a row! The last show was held in Sacramento, CA. A fun show that I do every year. My inventory was really low, but still was happy to have something to offer the folks. It is funny, I have done this show a few years now and meet those sweet customers who keep coming back to buy something new from me. Such a treat! I am beginning to remember their faces and names now. How nice to have someone actually look for my booth spot! It's crazy to me! <br />
<br />
So, to wrap it all up with a pretty, wicked bow, I have to say that this year is one I will never forget. The Lord has truly blessed me in my endeavors! I am so thankful to all the friends I have met along the way, to the collectors who continue to amaze me that they even want a piece of my art, to my family who is always there .. come hell or high water ... I know you got me, and to the rest of you who would take time out of your busy day to read this. I so appreciate you all! <br />
<br />
Lastly, thought I would show you some of the pieces I still have available in my Etsy Shoppe or on Giggleswick. I made a ton of art this year and this is it! WOW!! To think all my pieces are in others homes. Now, that is something to smile about!<br />

<br />
Well, it has been a while since I have been on my blog, so I thought I would step away from the worktable and update my blog on what has been happening.<br />
<br />
Bet you thought I'd died at my worktable ... right? Well, I can honestly tell you, I have most certainly fallen asleep a few times. Ruined a few good brushes that way too. Woke up to find my paintbrush stiff and crusty - lol! My sweet doggie, Jake just looks at me like I'm a crazy, fool staying up all night into the day. Preparing for two Halloween shows, while working a full time job is exhausting ... in a good way ... don't get me wrong. I am "over the moon" thrilled to have been selected!! It is such an honor!! Who would have thought? I just really want to make a good impression. Time and sleep have not been on my side during the process. However, I am happy to say that see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just need to finish up a few more pieces today and then I am done!! YAY!!<br />
<br />
Wanted to share just a few pictures of what is headed to Hallowbaloo and Halloween and Vine this year. For more information go to www.thehallowbaloo and www.halloweenandvine.com --- two fantastic shows!! If you can go, I would love to meet you!!<br />

Well, I guess I need to get back to my worktable. Need to finish up 5 more pieces before the show! Good thing they are almost done.<br />
<br />
Hope all is happy in your corner of the world! XOXO<br />
