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.
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!
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!
Some more happy news! Look for me in the latest August issue of Art Doll Quarterly! Below is a picture of what the cover looks like. Sylvia Smiser's day of the dead doll is on the cover. Isn't she fabulous! Love her expression!
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!
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.
I am thrilled with this issue of Art Doll Quarterly. So many of my wonderful friends are in the magazine! Congratulations to them all!
I am happy to say that my first bat, Barnabas, has been completed and flying to his forever home soon. Such a happy bat and my first to boot! I am thrilled at how his wings turned out! I will miss this little fellow!
A backside view! Pretty all the way around ... just like I like it!
Well, don't be a stranger and say Hi! I would love to hear from you (if you are out there). Leave a comment and say hello!
Here's to a wonderful and productive weekend! Until then ...
