Make sure you pop over and have a look at my Shop. I have started accepting Layaway Payments, so if there is something you like and need it for the Holidays, I'll put the item on layaway for you and you can make payments. I know times are rough and I thought this would be a good way to help all my customers out!

ENJOY THE NEW ITEMS!

On to Challenges that I signed up to participate in over at "Art Dolls Only" and "Dark Artists Guild"

This is my Challenge Piece for the MMC of September. The Challenge for this piece was to make a CLOWN, and this was my interpretation of a CLOWN. I don't really like Clowns. I know as a small child I would scream my freaking head off when I saw them...things haven't changed! LOL

ADO's 4th QUARTER CHALLENGE

Here is my Halloween ADO 4th Quarter Challenge Piece!

"The Transylvania Trickster"

Over at Dark Artists Guild "DAG" our 3rd Quarter Challenge was entitled "What's In Your Closet" Well, you really don't want to see what is in my closet...however, this Screaming Goth Child Ornie was begging to come out!

DAG's -MMC Challenge for August was to create a Wand. I created THREE!

Here are my Wands that I created. Just in time for the Festivities!



I don't know what is...may be it's the Universe talking or may be it's just that you find and make the coolest friends through blogland and they always seem to be there for you when you have really crap days at work! Well, I came home and there it was...this beautiful card (check out the CROW) waiting to be opened up by ME! My friend Pattee from Odd Dolls sent me this awesome card from an Artist in her local area in Washington State. Thank you so much Pattee for making a crap day into a great NIGHT! LOVE YA!UNTIL NEXT TIME!

CHEERS!

***Art Doll Quarterly and The Eclectic Beings***

I can't wait any longer. Everyone has been emailing me and or leaving me comments about seeing my EBs in the New Issue of Art Doll Quarterly! Well, I had to contact the Editor and let them know over there that I haven't received a copy of the Magazine and that I'm getting responses from people and couldn't really comment on the article, because unfortunately I haven't seen it yet! LOL Go Figure! LOL I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COPY OF THE MAGAZINE! Thank God For CANDY from Howling Moon Designs! Candy emailed me and she also posted it on Arts A Flutter's Blog, www.artsaflutter.blogspot.com the cover and one of the pages showing my EBs, so I could at least share this with all of you! Thank you so much Candy for taking the pictures.

I know one of my team members and friend is also in this wonderful magazine, Nicole Johnson from www.MealyMonsterLand.etsy.com I can't wait to see her dolls in print and read her article. Congrats Nicole...We made the same Magazine Issue! WHOOOHOOOO! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT I RECEIVE MY COPY! LOL If I don't, I'll just grab an issue from B&N!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!
UNTIL NEXT TIME...

Sunday in the Studio---Ok...My Shoulders Hurt! LOL

I don't know if anyone suffers from this, but man do my shoulders hurt on Sunday's...What's up with that? I'll tell you...it's called a Day Gig! I know, I know, be thankful in this day in age to at least have a job, but give me a break! You could literally crack a 2x4 across my shoulders and it would snap into a million pieces! LOL This is why at right this moment, I'm enjoy a Martini...yes, VODKA! well...and splash of Pomegranate juice...hehehehehe

Ok, Studio talk...It's Sunday and normally our cleaning day is on Thursday's, but considering I had a Gallery Show on Friday, well...let's just say....the house and laundry did not get done! So, today is Sunday and I am in the studio as my wonderful husband is cleaning our house! Well...I cleaned the bathrooms and finishing up the massive amounts of laundry! I know we are just two people, but my lord, we have a ton of laundry! How the heck do two people generate so much laundry? Cosmic question out there for you all..if you happen to know, please let me in on it! LOL Oh, and why is it, that when you do laundry, you only get one sock back, knowing that you originally put two in? LOL

Now this is the piece that I have been working on for a few weeks. This piece is a Custom Order from a very special Bass Player with the Band, "Scott Marshall's Highway. This piece is for his sister, and I'm safe posting this because she has no idea who or what I am! LOL...Lucky her! I absolutely love getting Custom Work because you really feel what they are feeling and I love interviewing people before I do a piece like this. The only thing is, is that I wish I was a fly on the wall when they give pieces like this to their love ones! Thanks Joe, and I sure hope you love this as much as I have loved creating this! It's not finished....I still have 5 days from my calendar! hahahaha

Look at Mad Max...apparently he is bit chilly...Here in Pennsylvania it's about 19 degrees....brrrrrrrrr......He is work in progress!

This little EB is a work in progress....she is actually getting finished by Tuesday, because she is flying off to get her picture taken for a magazine....ohhhhhhh I can't wait to see what they have in store for her! I will keep you all informed as I find out more. I will miss her, but I know she will return to me and bring me blessings! .I just love her and she isn't even finished yet! I thought I would give you all a little peek!

Wish her farewell on Tuesday as she makes her way over the Big Pond to France! eeeekkkkkkk

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I will see you on another enchanted day!
Cheers to All!
