Kitty, kitty and another kitty

I've been working on ornaments again, this time Christmas kitties. Here are my 3 newest ones:

You can them them in my Etsy shop If you have a kitty you love and would like an ornament painted to look like your pet please let me know as I am taking orders for them. Price for a custom painted ornament is the same as the ones in my shop.

Finished WIP Ghost and cat.

I finished my newest ooak art doll. He's the first in a new series called "Oopsied". The series will be dolls depicting weird and wacky ways some of us leave this world.


Title: Cat-astrophe

I like to write stories or poems for some of my creations and this poor fellow deserved one. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cat-astrophe

Melvin's wife was quite the nag,
he stopped listening to her long ago.
He never heard her yell, (the old bag)
"The light's blown out, the stairs are dark below!"

With his tummy sounding a rumble grumble
he put his bunny slipper's upon his feet
Sleepily to the kitchen he began to stumble
not knowing the fate he'd soon meet.

At the top of the stairs he found no light.
"Forgot to mention the bulb?" he said with a shout.
"Not that it matters if I have no sight,
I know this old house inside and out!"

He lifted his foot to take the first stair
when he hit something soft and furry.
The next thing he knew he was high in the air
And then everything went kinda blurry.

When he opened his eyes he found he was quite dead
but the universe would show him no mercy.
The voice of his wife was no longer in his head,
now he spends eternity with a pissed off cat named Percy.

Updated WIP Cat-astrophe

I still have a bit to do. More stripes to paint and then "ghostify" and antique.

Yes, those are pink bunny slippers. Yes, I know no man in his right mind would wear them, (according to hubbahubby). They are staying pink, they make me laugh, that's all that matters .... I have spoken! :)

Painting the day away

I plan on spending most of the day working in my studio, now that I can find things again ... :) Started painting on an ooak doll that I've been working on for some time now. Actually, he would have been done long ago except for a slight accident involving a too curious child. A dear friend of mine stopped in one day and while we were chatting away said kid stole into my studio and picked him up to look at him ,,,,,,,,, and then dropped him! Broke both of his arms, darn it. So I had to CUT off his arms, (good thing he's a ghost and he didn't feel a thing). But he's good as new. In fact, he's even better than new and my studio will now be locked when said child is visiting.

Here he is with a coat of gesso.

Furry little cat

I use to sculpt miniatures, in fact, at one point in time I supported my kids sculpting dollhouse miniatures. I've wanted to try furring a mini for some time and decided that while kinda stuck at home with all the snow and a cold it might be fun to try. Wow, it sure is a lot of work!





Kitty is available at My Ebay

Peek a BOO!

Somehow I managed to finally settle down after all the craziness around here and create a new ACEO. I haven't made one of these in a long time and it was relaxing to curl up in my recliner and paint while my poor, injured hubbahubby watched tv.

This is painted on 140lb. watercolor paper with acrylics and Prismacolor pencils. I love combining the two materials.

Peek a BOO!



You can find it at my EBAY

Merkitty

I finally finished my Merkitty and now have it listed on Ebay.



This one was a real challenge for me and I must admit I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I love, love, love working with paperclay. It lets me sculpt more complicated pieces then when I was sculpting in wax and making my own molds. I also like creating one of a kinds because recreating the same piece over and over makes my brain freeze ... lol

You can find my Merkitty here. Ebay.

Jack B. Rotten ornament

Jack B. Rotten is my new series of Halloween pumpkins that have a rather rotten attitude. These pumpkins are just plain not so nice and don't want to be anyone's jack-o-laterns. I have several more in the works but wanted you all to see the first one. The title of this ornament is "What Kitty?"





Okay now, no hate mail from cat lovers. I too love the little fur balls but you have to admit that sometimes those fuzzy cuties can be a pest and this pumpkin wants nothing to do with Halloween or those cute little black kitties.

You can find this in my Etsy shop

Halloween cat in paperclay - finished

After a few days of not feeling so great I finally got my little kitty finished. I'm calling this one "Boo and friend". The sculpture is 5 1/2" tall so you can imagine how much fun the little mouse was to sculpt.

I'm really liking paperclay and am going to order a bunch of it soon. (So many ideas popping into my brain!)

Thanks for looking!
