Slacking off

Sorry I've been such a bad Blogger lately. It seems there is always something going on here that takes time away from being creative. I did manage to finish up a new little Ghostie among all the turmoil.Poor little Mistress Maude,
always seemed a little odd.
She said her playmates came from the otherside,
But when the doctors examined her, insanity was implied.

Mistress Maude is on her way to her new home. She measured about 10 1/2".

I am hoping to get one or two more pieces done in the next couple of weeks before my trip to France with Marilyn Radzat..WoooHooo!! I'm getting the Hell out of dodge!!
Then I'll be home a week, just enough time to unpack and get re- packed and head off for our Creativity Retreat at Marilyns to-die-for beach front home in Hawaii!
The retreats are a wonderful combination of Magic, Art,Creative Inspiration, and just plain Fun!
We still have a few spots open.If anyone is interested in the information contact Marilyn at ikons@hawaii.rr.com.
I'll write more later...but for now I'm off to the studio to create an Alice figure. I've been so inspired with the new Tim Burton Alice movie coming out....I Can't wait to see that one!!
Happy Hauntings, Gail

She is so adorable-how do you ever let them go? I think I would be so attached that I would never want to sell them!

What a darling new doll. It is no wonder that she has found a new home.

First of all your doll is wonderful and that of course is an understatement.

You are going to France with Marilyn???? Wow you are a lucky woman.

Then a retreat? Are you ever going to be at home?

I'm really happy for you Gail!
Love~Pattee

maude is so lovely Gail, what a tragic little face !
I too am waiting on the tim burton film with baited breath and now waiting on your Alice too :0)
I am working on another miniature Alice for a Through the Looking glass display at my next show, think the impending movie has a lot of us feeling creative !

Tristan Robin said...

How sweet and lonely is she?! I am enchanted with her.

When will you be in France? We're going to be there for ten days in two weeks. Are you going to Paris? Maybe we can meet for a drink?!

We're staying at (our usual) Hotel Neva - just a couple blocks from the Arc d'Triumphe.

I'm pea green with envy about your Hawaiian retreat. I haven't been to Hawaii since Spring Break sophomore year LOL.

Gail,
Little Maude is divine. Insane? she could be related to me!

How I wish I could go on the retreat with you!

Whew, I am so glad I got my Alice done. I would have left it to you, the master. I could not have even attempted the task. I know she will be so special,I can't wait to see her!

♥♥♥Hugs♥♥♥

Gail, Make sure you get an overpriced chocolate crepe on the eiffle tower! And for heaven's sake, i get 3 days notice on the new alice before all the other fans (because Santa is watching and we're BFFs~don't make Santa sad, Gail). Just kidding! Have a great time on your vacations. France is fun~Hawaii's on the bucket list!
