Funky Yellow Magic Mushroom Man

 Here's a little funky fungi magic mushroom man. He's definitely one of a kind and unconventional. He's in my Etsy shop if you'd like a closer look. 

Big Foot and Other Weird Ornaments

Well I only got one Big Foot made. I am working on more. I'm down to only one chenille Krampus! I have a small tribe of Mushroom Men now. Honestly I love the fungi guys best they have unique personalities!  I'm sure I have wrote about mushroom folklore before. According to folklore Santa fed his reindeer magic mushrooms to help them fly. Be back soon for more updates.

Just finished these 3 mushrooms. I am working on Kampus ornaments and I'll post those as soon as they are ready.  These guys are now available in my etsy shop.

Yeti Love and other odd folks

Hi Friends! I just wanted to share these little chenille Yeti's and Bigfoot with you. I had a request to make a few and then I got carried away and now I have a tribe. Which is fine because I like them I always have liked odd things. Speaking of odd I also made a little Magic Mushroom. I'm glad I found a way to use up all the chenille pipe cleaners. 

Winter Wonderland Forest

Hi friends! Thank you to everyone for the well wishes for my foot! It is on the mend and that is a good thing. I'm hobbling around and happy about that.
I just wanted to share the rest of the Winter Tree's I've finished up. They are all a little odd but I think the Holidays shouldn't be taken so seriously!  I've got about 19 little chenille bodies that need heads. For those of you that asked me to make some little Yeti's I'm working on those now.
Happy Weekend!

Some Tinsel Tree Ornaments

I had a lot of left over chenille and tinsel pipecleaners. I used to use them in my clothespin and other ornaments. So I whipped up these little fellows. Their heads are paper clay. I like the Bigfoot the best. I have yet to make some Yeti's. My foot is taking longer than I thought to heal. I can't get it into shoes so yep I am a leave the house in slippers person!

Lost Toys and a Shroom

I am trying something a little new. The elephant and bunny are more aged. I was going for the out of the attic lost toys look. What do you think?
I manged to finish another shroom. I'm working on a few other colors. Have a great Sunday!

A Halloween Mushroom & Other Odd Folks

I know what you're thinking! She an her magic mushrooms what an odd person. I can't help it! My obsession with fungi goes to far. There is a good reason for including mushrooms in Halloween decor really! According to folklore Witches used magic mushrooms to aid in their Halloween flights. I thought that was fun info.

These odd fellows are all made with vintage clothes pins. And yes I have started making snowmen. So back to painting for me. Wishing you all a creative week!

No Clowning Around

I'm back! Did you miss me? I missed all of you so I'll be visiting soon. It was a real nightmare being without a good way to get online! Worse than my clown nightmares. Speaking of clowns here's my latest Creepling. He needs a name any suggestions?  Let me know. Great to be back see you soon! :) Becca

What to do with a Harvest of clothes pins

If you're like me many things inspire you to be creative. Recently I was doing some basement exploring looking for inspiration. I came across a harvest of vintage wooden clothes pins. These clothes pins were my Nana's(Grandma's) and Busha's(Great Grandma's) they were used and really show their wonderful age. I don't hang many clothes and when I do I don't use clothes pins. After all we have dryers now. So this got me thinking what could I make with these clothes pins. I remember I once had a clothes pin doll. I'm not sure where she is now, I suppose she's hiding out in the basement.
So that brings me to a childhood memory of funny faced fruit refrigerator magnets. Do you remember these I'm not sure if they were from the 50's or earlier. I just remember loving them and their quirkiness. I remember a pear and a watermelon and apple guy. I'm not sure where they are perhaps they are playing with the clothes pin doll.
I decided I would take that inspiration & make some ornaments. So I've made a few batches of Halloween and Harvest Creepling Ornies. Most of the Halloween ones have sold which I'm thrilled about! I know it's only Spring but I'm having fun with Fall right now. Where do you get your inspiration from?

A Magical New Year!

What do Magic Mushrooms have to do with "Happy New Year"? I found some fun and fascinating folklore!
The Autumnal Magic Mushroom or Amantia Muscaria has long be associated with elves, gnomes and fairy tales. Just look inside a children's book they pop up everywhere. It's history as a hallucinogen dates back 10,000 years. Often used by Shaman and mixed with other ingredients to ward off potentially deadly side effects. Magic Mushrooms are associated with Midwinter, Christmas and New Years. Folklore says Santa used these Mushrooms to aid in the flight of his reindeer. Santa an elf himself is dressed in the same colors as the Magic Mushroom.
The Vintage postcards above are just amazing! They are French "Bonne Annee" meaning Happy New Year. "Prosit Neujahr" which is a German toast to the New Year! Slovakia "Stastlivy Novuy Rok" Happy New Year. I love the last one which is the money bag holding the Magic mushroom umbrella.
So on that thought I'd love to end by saying "Happy New Year"!
May 2011 find you and yours: Health, Happiness, Love and Prosperity! These are my Wishes for us all!
