Skelly's and Buzz

Here are the three that I just completed. All can be found at www.pumpkin-seeds.com.
Just a note. I am continuing to have serious (well, as serious as blog land goes) delaying issues here with this blog. If you are a buyer and want up to date photo's just visit daily. The email program installed here is not working correctly. I am contacting blogger to see if anyone there can help. My apologies. J

Halloween Skeletons and one bee man so what's all the "BUZZ"???

Just finished three new sculptures. Its late so I will post these guys tomorrow. There will be two skeleton figures and one bee. The Skeleton pieces are pretty darn cool! Mounted on round wooden balls painted with a spooky silhouette scene of tree's and tombstones. The bee is fun too. He's kinda funny :) So come back again tomorrow! good night...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Trip to the coast

Here are a few pictures of my quick trip to the coast with my sweet daughter. We both needed a nice little get away vacation. I love doing stuff last minute and without much planning. So I woke up Saturday morning, gave my daughter a call. And off we two went! We ended up in Yachats Oregon. One of my absolute favorites little towns to stay in. Very quaint, not much going on but the scenery and coast line is just stunning. The top photo was taken in Newport. There was some huge crab festival going on (which I ran from). The photo of the bridge is also in Newport. The hotel shown is where we stayed in Yachats. And the rainbow and photo of my daughter where taken from our balcony. Best part of all was spending time with Sierra. She is so much fun! I also loved how we got to sleep with the back door open and we listened to the waves crashing all night long. Just the BEST weekend in a long long long time.

Something new

Before the weekend begins and talk my husband into a day trip to the coast, I wanted to get this girl up and available on my site. This girl or style of girl I have always painted. This time I wanted to try her in clay. She's my little gothic style trick or treater. So "cheers" to a great weekend~~~~~~~~~~~~~ xoxoxo

carve cantaloupes? Yes, indeed!

Valentines Day was fabulous! Flowers, candy and Coraline :) I got spoiled. Loved the movie to pieces. I really loved little Coraline's outfits. If you get a chance go to Coraline.com. They have an interactive website with lots of fun goodies to view and play with. DO check out the fascinating little clip of the woman who knitted those TINY little sweaters! She used needles. Not "knitting" needles... NEEDLES!
I also updated my Etsy shop with three ACEO's and changed over a few of the older cards to the sale's bin.
Here's to a productive and creative week! xoxo
