Horn Tootin'

I've started collecting the vintage Halloween horns as I love their graphic look and shape, and they inspire me as I create my own illustrated horns and hats for my papier mache characters. In a grouping like this one on my fireplace mantel, they are bold and eye-catching, playful and fun. The tallest one was just given to me as an early birthday gift from my mom, so it's starting to feel like a real collection!
Together, I feel that my one of kind art pieces blend well with the vintage novelties of yesteryear. The witch bust pictured actually appeared in my recent BH&G Halloween Tricks & Treats Magazine article, so she's had her day of fame, and I've decided to keep her. Perhaps I'll make similar witchy busts next year as I know many folks have asked if I'd be putting her up for adoption.....Anyway, this is just a little peek from my inspirations at home..... Go toot those horns in honor of my favorite holiday!

Jumping on the Blog-Wagon!

Well, it seems that I'm about the only one out there that didn't have a BLOG yet, so the peer pressure pushed me to do it! He he! Plus, today, my EHAG friends at www.ehaag.com have been in a contagious frenzy to start blogs or help each other create their own, so here I am! Thank you EHAGers :-) I think this will be fun! I just hope that I can promise to keep my 'lil Blog up to date! Life is crazy-busy..... especially right now!

Be back..
