Over the river and through the woods!

Over the river and through the woods to Jo James place I went! I drove to Lincoln City yesterday to visit fellow EHAG artists Joee and Dylan (Cart Before The Horse). It was great to talk with them and I also met a very talented artist Deirdra Doan. Deirdra makes the most enchanting dolls.

I found that Joee and I have a lot in common and we look like we could be sisters. We had a wonderful lunch and then she showed us all her lovely eBay offerings. She is such a talented lady and her husband amazes me with his sewing. Together they make such magical art pieces.

We made some little houses from cardboard and fabric. Joee let us pick out fabric from her stash! They look so cute huddled together and made into village.

During the afternoon some deer came sauntering by her living room window. How nice a wildlife parade!

I was sad to leave so soon. As I drove home the sun went down and the moon rose and the sky was a pastel pink and purple. It was beautiful ending to a great day.

Thanks for inviting me Jo!

Thanksgiving Wish

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family!
I was laughing the other day about something I heard on the radio. A small child was asked, what is Thanksgiving all about? He said, "It's when you celebrate eating a turkey!" Too cute. I like to think it's a time for getting family and friends together, to connect with them. Life is so busy and it's a time to remember and be thankful for so many things. My thanksgiving wish for all is
to be reminded of what really counts and no matter what our circumstances are
to cherish our family and all those wonderful moments.

WIP complete!

Here she is! I made her a broom so she can fly! I'm not so sure that broom will hold her, but she says it will because it's magic! At night she is the one who is magic. Her head is a lantern and she is also a candy container! She looks great in the dark with her eyes and mouth glowing! I tried taking a picture of her with the battery tea light on but it didn't turn out.

I still haven't decided what I'm going to call this series of vintage style cats. I will ponder on this.

New WIP coming along!

Here's the whole face! Just loved how it turned out. I will be giving these kitties some personality and a little magic. I have a few things I need to do for the body and then I post that picture.

New WIP !

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been away for so long. I'm working on a new series of vintage Halloween style cats. Yes, cats. I'm really excited too! These are no ordinary cats. I should be able to get some pictures posted soon!

Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Wow! This was one of the best Halloweens ever! I think because it fell on a Saturday most people felt they could stay up late, knowing they didn't have to work the next day. I for one, slept in. ahhh.

I entered a pumpkin carving contest on Friday and I won! I put it out on the porch last night and now I don't know where it is. In the night, some one took it! I didn't get a picture of it and I am kicking myself. It was a owl. Set against the moon. Oh well, next year I will take a picture before I set it out. You live and learn. We had our first Halloween light parade downtown and a cute dog costume contest.

Now, I do have pictures of my Headless Horseman. Due to complication beyond my control I couldn't get it finished until late last night. Finally at last here he is.

He's 16 1/2 inches tall x12 inches long x 5 1/2 inches wide. If you are interested in purchasing this piece, or wish to see more pictures, you can email mail me at leahsartmagic@yahoo.com.
