Moonlight Magic Tambourine STJ Update

Hello everyone, It's that time again for the Spooky Time Jingle artists to roll out all the wonderful creations.  I am so excited to offer up this fun tambourine.  I love to paint these and it's been awhile since I have dine one.  This has over 30 feet of beautiful ribbon on it.  It is a one of a kind original hand painted by me.  No stencils are ever used in my work. Feel free to contact me with questions. 
Take care, Tammy

More Moonlight Laughter

I thought I would share a new set of gourd eggs I painted for a customer.  She wanted a set of my moonlight laughter eggs only in non Halloween colors.  I thought they turned out well.  Thank you for stopping by, Tammy.

I'm back! New Cat for Spooky Time Jingles

Hi everyone, After a three month illness, I am finally back in my studio creating.  It feels so good too. I finished up a black cat roly poly I had started months ago and I like him so much I am going to do an owl next!  I did something different on this one by sewing some dyed corn husks together for a collar. It turned out so vintagey! Wait...is that a word? It is now I guess.  Be sure to drop by the Spooky Time Jingles website for the May 13th update. Lots of fun new creations.  Thanks for dropping by and sharing my work with me.

Easter eggs for Spookytimejingles update!

I love these large duck egg sized gourds but find them hard to come by. I painted up some Easter eggs in some original designs using old Victorian postcards as my inspiration. So fun! Come check out the Holiday Hootenanny art on Spookytime Jingles on the 13th. I know there is some wonderful goodies to be found.

Here comes Peter Cotton tail...

I have always loved vintage rabbits and wanted to try my hand at making one, complete with pack basket, for Easter this year. What fun details too. I handmade carrots and miniature Easter eggs and even little flowers in his flower cone. Loved the German Easter grass I got from Blumchen and company. I have lots of ideas for Easter this year, so stay tuned.

Valentines Day goodies!

I am not usually working ahead of time enough to get something done for Valentines Day but I surprised myself! I have always wanted to try making some cookies from clay and I think they turned out great. Only problem is everyone says, "Yum" and wants to eat them! I plan to make more as I sold this batch right away. Wish I had some real sugar cookies....

Spookytimejingles update!

I have just finished my Santa for the Spookytime update and I know, Santa? I just had a few more things to finish and I do love making them. The one I will be offering is a nutcracker Santa. The other is one I finished and sold a few weeks ago. Both of these are hand carved wood with a few sculpted details. I love adding all the goodies to them. I hand painted 5 tiny unfinished nutcrackers for the nutcracker Santa and love how they turned out but they took me hours and hours of painting. These are fairly large Santas and the largest is 16" tall. Now on to Valentines day goodies. I have some ideas... Thanks for sharing my art with me!

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!

Just taking a minute to share my newest Santa that I will be putting up for sale. Also wanted to wish you all Merry Christmas and hope that all your wishes and dreams come true this year.
This is one of my hand carved wooden Santas. I am trying to finish up projects started years ago and never quite finished. It takes forever to carve these from wood. I love the addition of the giraffe in his basket, kind of wild but fun. Thanks for sharing my work with me, I appreciate your support and comments throughout the year. Tammy

World domination Plot?

Okay, they are probably just planning Christmas present quotas but they sure whisper a lot when I am working. Just finished these little hand carved elves and will be shipping them off today. They have the cutest little ears and bottoms, I will miss these little men! Hope you are enjoying the season. Thanks for stopping by.
