It's time for GHOULTIDE!!

 I hope to see you at the 2014 Ghoultide Gathering this weekend!

The monsters are very excited.

Creatures from the black tea....

I love going to antique shops. I especially like the pretty little tea cups that they seem to have at every antique shop I go to. 

There are so many designs and I have a fondness for them.  

For a few years now, every time I see one I think, a monster would go perfect in that cup...so finally, I made what I have been thinking about.

 I got the chance to meet up with a good friend of mine, Alison, from Silent Mylo Studios, and we got to do a wee bit of antiquing and it has created a monster. Actually monsters.

Meet the creatures from the black tea.
They will be making their debut at the Mayday Underground arts and craft show this Saturday in Rochester, NY. 

hopeless and despair

two new pieces that I finished up.

 I focused on a emotion and tried to express that in the girls here.  I think I want to make two more then move on. I have a show in Rochester New York in just a mere two weeks so I need to get my Christmas mealy monster style on.

shop update and counting down the last few shows for the year.....

 I am back from Ghoultide!

 A wonderful show indeed. The art was stellar, the atmosphere dead on Halloween, the people were great! I got to see art I had only dreamed of seeing in person and was floored by the talent! Every artist there was awesome at what they do. I look forward to next year! There are some wonderful pictures online that show off the wares from the show.  

HERE 

 My pictures were taken with my phone and they pretty much looked grainy and unimpressive, so I won't share those. 

So I am back here in good old western New York. I have updated my etsy shop finally!! It has been bare for too many months.

I am also getting right back to work in preparation for the Letchworth Art and Craft show that is just two weeks away. I will be taking part the first two days of the show which is October 12th and 13th and have some new ideas brewing that I can not wait to get started on.

After the Lecthworth show Christmas will be arrive here in mealy monster land. so stay tuned!!!

what I have been working on over the weekend.

 this and that.....

a little bit of Halloween.....

 some witches brew...

three shows on three Saturdays over the next three weeks!!

My three week "tour" starts tomorrow, the 20th of April. I will be with my monsters at the LIFE IS ART FEST at First United Methodist Church, 25 Church St, Fredonia, NY 14063!! Live music, venders, food, and a great college town, should be a good time. 

then....
off to Rochester for the Mayday Underground arts and crafts at Village Gate on Saturday April 27th. A wonderful show full of awesome unique items!
then...one more show..

in Niagara Falls, New York. The ParaHorror Convention at Rapids theater on May 4th!  Walking Dead cast members will have a panel as well as some cast members from the syfy show Ghost Hunters. I am so very excited to take part!! yay

I have lots of new monster to share at the shows along with new wall pieces and everything else I have been making all winter long!!

a spell gone wrong?

 trying out some new ideas to bring to the summer art festivals this year and of course my etsy shop. 

The snails have taken a turn into zombie land, the pumpkins are making trouble with a pile up, and the witches are casting spells all the wrong way.

 Seems these witches have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble. They tried to turn the handsome Prince into a frog and it backfired. It may just be a better look for them.

zombie jellybeans? no just rotten eggs.

 A quick little post to let you know what I have been up to in my dungeon art studio or as it is commonly know, the basement. Easter, Easter, Easter, zombie Easter, jellybeans, and a little Halloween. Most of the pictured monster are available in my etsy shop.  Have a great Sunday!!
