Glimpse at some Ghoultide Goodies...

Finally, I have my one of a kind, papier mache, folk art characters completed and packed away for next Friday & Saturday's Ghoultide Gathering! I spent yesterday working on my display, choosing a few antique finds from around the house to take with me as props to this spooktacular show! To lighten the load, we opted not to take our large tabletop hutch with us this year, but you'll still be able to locate us by seeking out my jack'-o-lantern logo surrounded by a panache of black plumes! And, before I started to pack all my goodies away, I snapped just a few teaser shots to share. Of course, I will bring many more Halloween delights, so this is just a glimpse of what's to come.... Enjoy!  See you there!........

Owl-Egg-Cup

* Hoot Hoot!....

Ghost-Vase

* Love how this towering ghost, base chamber vase turned out!  He's just black & white and would be stunning as a year-round display piece.... Gosh, it's difficult to part with these guys.....

Mouse-Egg-Cup

* Eeek, squeak!.....

Pumpkin-Girls

* After much pondering, I decided to release these two pumpkin girl characters that are featured in full on page 25 of Phyllis Hoffman's Celebrate Halloween Magazine.... They are very dear to me, difficult to let go and tricky to put a value on. But, they will each be up for adoption and displayed on the same child's stove as seen in our photography in the magazine!

Black-Cat-31

* One of many black cats, going along for the ride...

Shrilling-Billy

* A rare bat bust with wiry wings will be joining us too!

Owl-&-Jack

* I spy another owl alongside a mini-bust Jack....

Hissabeth-Booster

* Just a peek at one of my favorite black cat candy containers....

Crow-&-owl
* Caw Caw..... hoot hoot..... meow.... squeak.... boo......eek!  :)


SAVE the DATE ~ September 30th & October 1 will be here SOON!
To see these characters in their entirety amongst a table-full of spooky companions, (not to mention the amazing, awe-inspiring works of 30 other Halloween artists) make sure you make it out to the Ghoultide Gathering!  It's less than a week away.........

Thank you everyone! I look forward to unwrapping each one and putting them out for you to enjoy... Your interaction with my art (in person) is always such a treat. I don't get out that much to experience the varied responses. I hope this year they will be favorable :) Looking forward to lots of bright eyes and smiles....
