Another new Ghostie Just Listed on Etsy!

Ms "P" just discovered a tiny pair of ghosties in the studio, and since she is highly jealous of anything getting attention except herself, she says "they gotta go"! So....I've just listed them in my Etsy shop! This tiny pair was inspired by Edward Goreys book "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" (As are most of my Ghosties, except this pair is tinier than my others)
"Little Lolli, couldn't be sweeter, last seen in Kensington Gardens with an odd boy named Peter"!
Little Lolli measures just under 7" to the top of her bow, and her tiny Tinkerbell Fairy doll is 2 1/2"- 3" to the top of her topknot. Lolli's shroud is made from an antique silver-grey silk velvet ribbon. I've also used hand painted and dyed silk tulle vintage buttons and ribbons.
I've got one more larger ghostie in the works and then I think I may be on to something else...I feel some other little creatures mulling about the dark receases of my brain!!!
I also, time permitting, will be posting some information on doll making, as I recieve many e-mails all asking pretty much the same questions,....mainly," how do I become a doll artist..where do I start"? So I thought I might just do some posts, hopfully answering some of those questions.
In the meantime if you'd like to take a peek at Lolli and Tink, they are looking for a new home to Haunt! Check them out in my Etsy shop! This link should guide you there!
Have a SpOOkTacular Day!

A New Tiny Twosome in my Etsy Shop

Mistress Mary bent over to button her shoe, when a strong wind blew...she went Tootle-loooo!
This tiny twosome is newly listed in my Etsy shop is you'd like to take a peek
http://www.etsy.com/shop/queenofthefaeries Mistress Mary and her tiny ghostly companion are smaller than most of my dolls. Mary is 4 1/2" and Minnie is a petite 2" Both are hand sculpted in polymer clay and wire jointed so their arms and legs move.





Poor Sweeties looking for a new home to haunt!
I've been working away on Ghosties and have another small one in the works, although larger than Mary. Hopefully if she cooperates I will have her done by next week.
One of my regular sized Ghosties has been waiting mournfully in the wings for quite sometime, she's turned blue from holding her breath...oh wait..she has no breath!!
In the meantime I hope you enjoy Mistress Mary and Minnie!
You are SpOOkTacuLar!!!

A New Ghostie Coming!

Just an update to let you know I have a couple of new ghosties manifesting in the mortuary!
One, I've just finished, is a Tiny Ghostie with a little ghostly companion. I will be listing her in my Etsy shop tomorrow, Sat. the 19th. So if your interested keep an eye out!

Also, if any of you had e-mailed me in the last 3 months or so, and never heard from me...Please forgive me! I am not Ignoring you!!
I had become rather lax about checking my e-mails, and found myself saying "oh, I'll do it tonight, or in the morning"....well you know the rest!! Now it's been around 3 months...at least sometime before Christmas... and the amount of mail is boggeling to say the least. You'd have to take me out in a straight jacket if I attempted to wade back through it all, which I don't think I will attempt!!
So again, I beg your forgivness if you have e-mailed and I never replied.Please re-email if you need to! I shall be better.... I promise! (Ms "P" is cracking her tiny whip...she's scarey)!

So for now I won't bore you with any more!! Watch for photos of the newest ghostie and some in the making!!
Have a SpOOkTacular Evening!!

A New Ghostie!

Mz P informs me I was a bad blogger last year and I'd better snap out of it!
Heaven knows you'd better not get on the wrong side of her, so I'm hoping I can be a better blogger and a better "ghostie maker" this year.
That being said. Let me introduce you to my newest little ghostie I've just listed in my Etsy shop.
This is Olive Elderberry, who wandered into the land of Fairy. she gave a scream and a tiny shout, but never did find her way back out! So Little Olive is forced to wander...good thing she has her little Scary fairy dolly to guide the way, er,...maybe thats why she got lost! Those fairys can be a bit naughty at times!
Olive is one of my smaller Ghosties, and stands just over 8" to the top of her head. Her lovely little shroud is made from antique velvet and antique lace. Tiny little bones act as faux buttons.
She's looking for a new home to Haunt!

Here's the link for my etsy shop
Take a ghostly gander at her!!
Have a SpOOkTaCulaR NiGht!
Gail &... Ms P...of course!

Bijoux Jewelry!

Greetings Darklings!
Half of the fun I have doing Gallery Shows is being able to dress up in an "Artsy Fartzy" sort of way. I love anything different and unusual, and I am in love with vintage and antique jewelry. I enjoy having that "one of a kind" piece that no one else has seen before and would die to get their hands on! I LOVE this Reliquary Necklace!
I am blessed to have a talented and creative daughter, Kimberly, that makes such jewelry.
(My shameless family promotion...plus, she gives me great gifts)!
Kimberly has opened a new Etsy shop, "Madonna Enchanted" to sell her one of a kind jewels made from antique and vintage pieces.If you'd like to take a peek, Here is the link
Enchanting Necklaces and Decadant Diva Rings!!


All One of a Kind for the Bijoux in you!



And... did you think you'd get away without seeing the "Divine Ms "P"....Little Diva that she is!
Modeling a few of her favorite rings and things from the Madonna Enchanted shop.


Thanks for taking the time to look!!
Dark Blessings,
Gail...and the ever Decadant "Ms P"!

New Ghostie Wall Hanging

Mz "P", Princess Wee Wee, and their mystery guest, discuss the probability of the existance of a disembodied head.
Very deep stuff for such tiny minds! This is my new piece I just listed in my Etsy shop.
If you'd like to take a peek here is the linkhttp://www.etsy.com/listing/50477237/ooak-gail-lackey-ghost-doll-head-wall
"Little Lenore, separated from her body forever more"!
I created Lenore as a wall piece. Her ghostly head is attached to a vintage Florentine frame. The total piece measures 9"1/2 tall and 7 wide. I"ve used vintage mauve millinery flowers with vintage netting mixed with hand dyed gauzes and newer paper flowers. She wears a little ghostie hidden among the mixture of stuff in her tibetan lambswool hair.

Happy Hauntings!
Gail...Mz "P" and the large at heart, Princess Wee Wee
