Our Winter wonderland This February 26th 2013. I woke up to this wonderful snow that will Kill off allot of those mosquitoes fur sure this summer. I heard, (from the front porch) tree's snapping and cracking. I hope all our power stays on. Lot without it! As for my normal blogging, I have been taking a huge under taking of a New Witch dress for Halloween and my religion of Wicca. I plan on working on that for some time. here is another pic of that dresses pattern.  

It will of course be done in black silk and hand beaded. Tell me what you think?????

~Something wicked in the Etsy shop!

I have been emotionally Ill and have not been in the mood for some time to do art.....BUT, I have been working on restoration of old large Picture frames. We had our Coat of arms done years ago. I wanted to get it finely framed  and matted. So with my hard work I hope it turns out okay. As I sit here right now I can smell the paint in the air. And boy dose it stink. LOL
On the other hand, My husband and I celebrated our 12th Anniversary On February 14th. My life seams to be trying to take a turn for the better...but not sure yet. I hope so though! My husband and I did a red paint hand impression that I'm still working on. And I have to make a new Halloween Witch costume. I also have to learn to grade the pattern so it fits like a leather glove. It's a very pretty wedding dress that will be done in black instead of white. It also is from a by gone era. I am still working on my Old Widowed Frog, and want to badly do BJDs soon. So you can see I am trying to get out of this rut that I have been for several years. I am just trying to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Hi all, I have to make this short but I wanted to let you know I haven't forgot about you. I have been waiting for tools! "Yep", Thats right! We sold everything 2 Octobers ago and now I have nothing. LOL I will be getting that tool I need in soon so I can finish her. Yep she is a frog but not just any frog. She is a widow from the Gothic era. She is wise and a bit on the snobby side. She will be here and on the Etsy shop.
I have to tell you all, It is very hard to gather all those supplies I used to have on hand. The antiques I hand picked for my Studio. It hurt to sell it all off. But I am just going to try to deal with it. Being without that extra money to spend on these things can be hard to get what I need when I need it. So please bear with me and tell your friends to follow my blog and Etsy shop so when my creations are coming out they and you will be ready to see.

HUGS,
Julie

Straight up!

Ok, I know! I dont blog allot....But when October rolls around you try to get work done, "Right"? Well, some of you know I have been dealing with Occipital nerve issues. They cause me to have Debilitating headaches for months at a time. So, Getting sick of it I finally got help...Thats good you say? Well....Some of it works. The med's they got me on make me so dizzy and nauseated and my eyes do most of the dizzying work, I cant keep my eyes focused. UGH!!! I am so frustrated. I love to create.Go I do not want to think about it....It makes me sick.
But to tell the truth I want the news spread about my work. Been through some pretty hard times. And trying to get somewhat back on top, so to speak. Well being early in the morn. I thing I better try to get to work on my love.
BIG HUGS and so sorry!

Holy spookers

I know, I know, I have been MIA! Well I have been busy trying to get these headaches under control. Having Occipital nerve damage that cause these headaches can take a person out for weeks on end. So, I went to the Dr. to get some help. I hope the new meds work.
On other stuff...I am doing more Primitive Halloween art dolls. I am even doing some lil' mice. They are such cute lil' things. I think you will like them. I have plans to make goth looking cloth dolls and do some more of the sculpting I used to do but, they wont be the pretty Faries that I use to do, "NO", They will be gross dead looking post moretum  dolls or collectables. I feel that I have this need to create things dead. I don't know why It just seems like the thing I am posed to do for now. So keep your eyes pealed for future sculpts. I have been scowering the net of other artist that are inspiring me to take the leap to do spooky, creepy, gross looking art. Being an at home house wife is wonderful for this kind of work. Your time is spent all day trying to come up with ideas and inspiration from those other artist. I have even made my very own Primitive Halloween witch frog that I will be selling on my Etsy shop later. I made it from the inspiration of Soft in the head. I know she dose not sell this pattern but it is so cute that I just made my own from her pic. I don't think that's stealing is it? Well I hope she wont be mad. I didn't copy straight from a pattern cuz she don't have one.
In other news, I have three other ghoulish dolls I will try to have up in the Etsy shop before the end of the month. But you all should know I do Halloween ALL YEAR LONG! So buying handmade for next year is a great way to get those collections for that next Halloween. Please feel free to contact me about anything I love to hear from my fans.

HUGS,
Julie

Rain yesterday, was nice and we needed it badly. But, my work will be more fun as the cold weather steps into the role for fall. This is truly my favorite time of year. I want my friends to think about shopping from Hand Made Artist this season we put love into everything we make and, appreciate your support. So spread the word....Hugs, Julie
