New Castle boutique opening!

I am so excited to announce the opening of the Halloween Queens Castle boutique! I have been a member of the Halloween queens art group (AHQU) and boy, are we a lively group and have soooo much fun. This is the grand opening of our selling blog and I am proud to offer one of my hand sculpted witch ornament. I am particularly proud of this one. I put a lot of extra time in to sculpting all her features and wrinkles for a very cronish looking witch. Love her two tone hair especially. I am only showing one side view picture, hoping you will take the time to come visit and take a peek at all of my fellow artist as well. New work will be featured on the first of each month. Should be some spooktacular art!

Just an update that the opening was a big sucess! I sold my witch and I am posting a full picture of her so you can see the entire old crone. If you haven't visited be sure and check it out. there is still plenty of goodies left.

Santa Tambourine

A very sweet and patient customer has waited over a year for me to complete her request for a tambourine with Santa and mice. FINALLY...I got it done and am very happy with how it turned out. These tambourines are so much fun and I love finding all the ribbons and such. Thanks for sharing my art with me.

STJ Easter Hootenanny Sneak Peek!

It has been so long since I have had something new to feature on my blog! I am so proud to present my Easter Bunny in his beautiful Easter egg home. The egg is a real large Ostrich egg! I have had several of these for years and wanted to do something with them. I must say he is eggceptional! I had so much fun sculpting him and of course lots of glitter and spring colors. He will be available for purchase tonight at 12 midnight Eastern time. Make sure and visit the SpookyTime Jingles website (link at top right) and see all the eggcellent goodies from my wonderful artist friends. As always, thanks for stopping by. Tammy

STILL filling orders!

Yes, here I am still plugging away trying to get all my Christmas orders done by Christmas. It has become obvious to me that I won't make it in time. Some of them just take way longer than expected. I hate to disappoint people. Especially since most asked way back in the summer. Life happens though. I did just finish two that I wanted to share. One is a Blue jay for a woman whose husband loves them, should be beautiful on a tree. Don't anyone write and ask for one though! It was incredibly time consuming. the other is a silver tabby ornament with mice. I never knew that a silver tabby was a separate breed. Gorgeous cats! I learned a lot from both of these ornaments and that's always worth it.

Spooky time Jingle update on the 13th!

Yep, it is that time of the month again and I have a Santa ornament that I have been thinking of doing for awhile. I made him a yummy gingerbread hat with lots of candy. Really fun to do! He'll be listed tonight on Spookytimejingles at midnight Eastern time. Be sure and come and check out all the Christmas goodies!

Filling orders!

I have had a fe w people ask me why I haven't been posting new things and I wanted to let everyone know I have been very busy catching up with requests. I am still far behind. Here are two that I am very pleased with and thought I would share. We have a beautiful snow falling today and it is really getting me more into the Christmas mood! Hope you are all enjoying the season.

Carved Santa listing on Ebay

I recently listed a large Santa on eBay that has some fun jumping Jack nutcrackers and other toys. His face, hands, feet, and hat are all hand carved from wood. He is a recycled Santa! I love to take older items and give them a face lift and make them special. I re-carved parts of him and then painted him. Love Santa!

Spookytimejingles

I am so excited about this months new update for spookytimejingles Market place. We have some wonderful artists and have just added 4 more and they are some of my very favorites! I am also excited to introduce my first Christmas item for the season. though small I think he has a real presence. He is loaded with details and special little surprises. He is also my first roly-poly Santa I have done. Of course his body is a small round gourd. Be sure and visit my spookytimejingle link (At right) on the 13th to see more of him and get more detail.

Whooooo...Whooooo...2 owls!

I just completed two custom orders for owl ornaments from different customers who wanted the same thing. I have never done an owl ornament before and I am so pleased with how these turned out. They were time consuming but fun! You probably recognize the inspiration from one of those old vintage postcards from the 20' s and 30's. I am going to have to do more of these! Thank you for dropping by and sharing my work, Tammy
