Moon and Mermaid on Monday



The Mermaid Chair my husband made and I love her. I love the richness of the walnut wood she's made of. She will soon be on her way to a happy home in Arizona. I'm not sure how the economy is affecting any one's art sales. I can tell you how very happy and grateful I am for those wonderful people who are still supporting the Arts! :)
I took the moon shot from my kitchen window. I just love the way she was peaking through the trees. Have a wonderful and magical monday everyone.

White Morning Glory & Not a pumpkin



I snapped this shot of a white morning glory after the rain we had. I love these vines sometimes they come up on their own. The other pic. is of a paddy pan squash I think. It's in the pumpkin patch and will be eaten instead of carved!

New WIP's Owl, Witch and JOL


Here's what I've been working on. The Witch is taking longer than I thought. Her hair soaks up paint like you wouldn't believe. I was going to mount her on a spindle but her head is too big. The Jol box is almost done and I hope to post his happiness on ebay later today. Lastly, I'm happy with the way Mr. Owl is coming along. He's about 7 1/2 inches high. He's holding two Jol buckets one grumpy and one happy. I love Owls! If he doesn't find a Happy Halloween home I've got the perfect place for him! Have a Spooky Day everyone! :) Becca

Flower Power




Just what's blooming. The picture of the blacked Susan's is my the front of my home. The other side has mint which is in bloom. The bees love it. I was told if you plant mint in your yard it helps bring wealth. Well I have a lot of it as it is very invasive and spreads. I should be winning that lotto any day now! :) The lanterns are blooming and are a wonderful orange! I was happy to see the chipmunks did not eat all the lilies! Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

Another JOL box and Acorns for magic



This set is now in my Etsy Shop. The acorns caps are real.
I found some interesting folklore on the acorns. They were used as a divination tool on Halloween night. Lovers would take 2 acorns and each would place 1 in the same bowl of water. If they floated together they would marry. If they floated apart they would not and if they sunk death! Mine are not ment for this game but I thought the folklore was fun!

What's the story Morning Glory


Sometimes you just have to put the paint and paper mache down and step into the garden! I think this Morning Glory is called Grandpa Ottis.
