WIP's What do you think is behind door no. 1?

So I've got a few things on the go at the moment. Some I can't share because they are in swap secret mode. But I can show you two works in progress...

First, a bearded lady. This is my second attempt at a hairy gal, the first looked like a man with lady hair. Truth be told many bearded lady photos I came across looked like men with lady hair. Anyway, this fine female is coming along much better than the last time. Fingers crossed she turns out super because I've swapped her for something quite fantastical from one of my favourite artsy folk.

Next is this wee little cupboard. I really rather love it. It's just the right size for something but I have no idea what. I've been sticking all sorts in there but nothing seems quite right. Any ideas as to what might be hiding behind those doors? I'd love to hear your ideas...

...and swiftly run away, crafting them into something grand :)



Fairy File: Exhibit B

A short while ago I provided evidence of fairy activity on our property, a magic pumpkin.

For all of you who are still not convinced, I am excited to share some new evidence today.

Yesterday we saw a white ball at the bottom of our hill... the husband nearly went mad with excitement.

"That can't be. Is that a puffball? That's a puffball! It's a giant puffball! It's like finding a truffle in the garden." And so for over an hour I had to hear about the fabled puffball mushroom.

Anywho, I remembered seeing a few white spots in the back field so we off we went to see if more puffballs had sprouted. There weren't any more puffballs but there were about a zillion other mushrooms.

They are all sorts of sizes and shapes and colours. They are growing alone, and in clumps and clusters. Some were growing in neat straight lines and there was this...

Exhibit B: The Fairy Ring

Eavesdropping frogs, magic pumpkins, faerie rings... I wonder what will pop up next?



Last day for $5 readings!

Just a heads up that today is the last day that I'm offering Tuscan Witch Stone readings for $5.
As of midnight readings are back up to $20 a pop.

Tiny Bird Book

Made for the One Tiny Book Swap on craftster...

I made a second bird book at the same time which I'll toss on etsy in a few days.

P.S. For those of you magic makers out there, today is a good day for candle magic :)

A Not-So-Vintage Witch

I made this gal for the Vintage Halloween Swap on craftster. I really love her. Her wee skirt is all poofy, her legs are stripey, her hat is pointy. It was only when I started packing up to send that I realized that although she's lovely, she's not very vintage. *sigh* I should have know this gal would cause some trouble when I took that last photo. Hussy.

It's alive!!!

If I owe you an email or anything I'm sorry. I'm here, I haven't forgotten, I'm just WAY behind on just about everything. Since this time of year is always insanely hectic for us I probably should have re-thought joining four swaps all due within the next couple of weeks. Ah, well.

Here's a peek at a few haunted chunky houses I've been working on, some of which will be shipped off to my "Eye of Newt" swap partners after I fiddle with the back of them :)

P.S. A very important message for LGBT kids ... or really, anyone who is having a difficult time in high school "It Gets Better" It really does :)

Happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary ya big lug.
