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!

Back from the Art Show

My husband took some of my Ornaments to his Art Show in North Carolina. Several of them sold which is wonderful! Thank You! For those of you interested several of my Halloween ornament sets listed on Etsy are now listed individually. Oliver Owl has flown home and is now listed here if you'd like to take a peek. I'm in the process of making loads of Christmas. I'm hoping to do a local show so back to work for me. Wishing you all a wonderfully creative day!

Oliver Owl Ornament

I just finished Oliver. I don't have him listed anywhere yet he is going on a road trip down to North Carolina. He may not come back but if he does I'll let you know where he'll be.
Owls I love them don't you! They have been associated with mystery and magic since ancient times. A nocturnal bird of prey who's eerie screech could be mistaken for a scream! No wonder they fit perfectly into Autumnal and Halloween decor. Owls often known as a Witches Familiar. It was also thought that a Witch could shape shift into an Owl. Hecate the Witch Goddess and Athena the Goddess of Wisdom both had Owls as their familiars. During dusk known as witching time the death of the day is called Owl Light. During this time a Witch can be transported into the other world. I just thought this was fun info!
