Send in the Clowns or Send Them Away

When making this next series of Clowns I had a few interesting memories come to mind. I was thinking about a certain abandoned home from my childhood. The home was off a dirt road called Lone Tree Road. You could not see the home from the road only corn fields. The home was very spooky and said to be haunted. The man who lived and died in the house was a Clown who preformed with the Ringling Brothers Circus. I only went into the home once it was a very short visit!

The song Send in the Clowns was written by Stephen Sondheim in 1973 for the musical A Little Night Music. The song was not actually about clowns but how we as humans can be foolish in life.
The song was made popular by Frank Sinatra and Judy Collins.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
          -Stephen Sondheim


Well I think I may have been foolish as a kid to go into that house. The house where the clown lived.
And just maybe these clowns will be adopted and I can send them away!

Clowns and Hags

Here is a little trio of Clowns I finished. They are grubby and prim and made with found parts of all sorts. I'm not sure which one I like best.

And here is a few of the Hags. I like their noses which are metal screws of different kinds. Back to painting and staining for me. I hope to share the candy box soon. Thanks for stopping by be back soon!

Custom Order Acorn Man & Candy Corns

Hi Friends I hope you are all having a wonderful Summer! I wanted to share this Acorn Man and his peeps with you. He is a custom order for a wonderful collector and valued customer. I have made several Acorns but I think he is my favorite so far.
You see for one night only on All Hallows Eve acorns can become enchanted and grow to giant proportions. They roam the land looking for Candy. They enjoy playing tricks on their fellow non-enchanted acorn brothers!

I also wanted to share a couple of Candy Corn Ornaments. They are on ebay if you like to take a peek.
Wishing you all a wonderful and creative week everyone!
