Halloween Witch Painting -Pale Moon On The Rise-

Pale moon on the rise

I enjoyed the beautiful So Cal weather this weekend and sat and did a painting on a vintage page from an old dictionary. I love the moon, it's what I see when I look at the moon. Is it just me or do you see the same thing. I see a sad looking young boy. My husband said he doesn't see anything resembling a face. He is colorblind and I wonder if that is the reason he doesn't see anything?

Add kicking in again

I was getting ready to do another day of the week sketch and before I knew it I was drawing a Santa. As I am ADD and a Pisces I just go where the tides take me.

French Chef new for 2012

I am supposed to be finishing up my seven days of the week drawings but this guy was fighting to get out. So here he is my very first Chef drawing. I will be putting him on my Etsy soon. I always say that and never get around to it but when I am in my sketching mode I don't do anything else. I go into manic sketching and then it goes away for a while, that's when I get it out there for sale.

Played around with a great photo of my daughter. She is such a blessing.

Three Witches

Three Witches artwork just finished and will be adding to my Etsy store soon

Mermaid shirt

This is the finished product and she loved it.

Hand painted Tee-shirt for Grandaughter

This is the first time I have painted on a shirt. I have been wanting to do this for years but never got around to it. So far I am satisfied with how its going. I just used a regular pencil to draw freehand, I only hope I can get the pencil lines off when I am done. I am going to make a tote to go with the shirt and fill it full of goodies. Shay just turned five and her favorite thing to do is draw and colour. I think we have a budding artist.

Getting there

Now all I have to do is figure out how to shrink it to fit, Arrrrrrrrh!!!!!!!

changing my blog.

I am trying to change my blog but having the hardest time with it. I am hopeless at this. Fingers crossed.

Happy New Year

It's a bit late I know but happy new year to you all. I hope and pray this year will be good for us all. I am moving into some new adventures this year. I am going to be selling at our local farmers market and I am very excited about it. Never done anything like this before. I am going to be working on my booth. Lots of I am's in this post. Anyway I will post photo's along the way.

Witch paper dolly

I was playing around today in my studio and I drew a picture of one of my dolls. I made a little paper cutout and added some glitter. My wheels are turning now. I think I am going to do some more of my other dolls.

Father Christmas

I have been painting up a storm. I suddenly got into the Christmas mode. I usually have a hard time switching from Halloween to Christmas. I just love all those yummy colours of fall. I opened a Zazzle store this weekend and will be adding some graphics there soon. This is just a sample of what I have been doing this weekend.

Halloween Humpty Pumpkin

Just a few final touches and it will be done. Took a long time to get this puppy done, I started painting it nearly two years ago or more and it sat there waiting to have a theme but I couldn't seem to get back to it. I decided that this is going to be done by the end of the year and then the idea of Halloween came to mind and then I really had to get on it. Anyway it is 99.9 percent done and it will go on eBay soon.

New Halloween Ghostie Doll in the works

This is going to be in a pram like one I just sold.

Halloween Witch Doll in the works

Almost done, just the finishing touches to do. They were suposed to be two separate pieces but the large one kept falling forward and the little one kept falling backward. I just grabbed the little one to use as a prop and voilà!

they became co-dependant on each other, so they are BFFS now. How can I separate them lol.

Lobster for dinner

How blessed I am to have a hunter fisher Son-In-Law. Now that's what I call a lobster

Too busy to craft

 I bought some Calgon and this is what happened to me

The dog ate my homework

 I have ADHD (Almost Done Housework Duties)

As you can see I am really in deep thought about my next project and it really takes it out on a woman.

Updating my blog

I am trying to update my blog and I am having a hard time doing it. Please excuse the ever changing pages. I know what I want but have no idea how to do it. I am PC challenged you see. I am also trying to get my craft room finished and plaster my bathroom walls. I don't juggle very well and I also have ADHD (Almost Done Household Duties) So I guess I better get back to the tasks at hand.

What to do with all those scissors

I put them all up on the wall above my sewing table.

Mothers Day Blessings

What more could I ask for this mothers day. I have the best Husband the best Grand kids and the biggest catch of the day. My daughter and son in law took us out on their fishing boat. We had a barbecue on board of venison from son in law's last hunt, DELICIOUS! some good wine and the perfect weather.  The men on the boat were so jealous,Go Nana, Go Nana. He He He!.

Some work in progress

I am working on this right now. Don't know what I am going to do with it yet. She looks like she  has got  lots of attitude. I have a new toy that I am playing around with on my computer and this is what I have so far. I sketched this on paper first then scanned it in to the computer. Playing around with it is so much fun. I will post my finished product when it is done.

My little Jakey Pakey Shakin Bakey

Cutest guys on the block. Cousins and best buddies. They make a Nana proud.

Best buddies. She loves her big brother. He looks out for her always. Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged. Proverbs 17-6 Little blessings from God.

Cowbabies

My Grand Babies. Growing up so fast. They petted the horses and then helped their Daddy bag a pig and a turkey for dinner. Yum Yum

Kitchen Cabinets Painted Black

My inspiration for this was the wonderful art of Tracy Flickinger. I had the apron and when I decided to paint my kitchen black I wanted the doors to have some other color and the apron gave me the idea to fill the panels with these cute guys.

           I plastered the walls and took down those awful 70's light panels. I put tin where the lights were.

As I live in wine country I wanted to add some grapes. I found these cheap resin shelves and used them for under my granite counters. I painted them black and Viola!! These are selling for $60 each in wood at my local hardware store.

                                        

This is my starting point. Orange stain and floor tiles for counters, Yuk!

The cabinets were redwood and in good condition so I didn't have to replace them.

I added bead board to the recessed doors only on the bottom to give them some texture
