Ghosties and Goblins my newest on Etsy

Ms P looks like she's finally found what could be a long lost relative! The resemblance is uncanny!! I had started sculpting a ball jointed doll when I was struck by a goblin attack! So I was force to put the bjd aside while this crazed creature came into being! His name is Fidget and he's in love with a poor little bunny that wasn't quite fast enough!

He's looking for a new home so I listed him in my Etsy shop. Please check him out!!

Ms P thinks she's in love and I'd hate to see what they would create together so he's gotta go!!

Fidget measures 9 1/2" and is free standing. Dressed in old goblin leathers and antique pieces of gypsy nomadic clothing, he's quite stylish for a goblin!

Maybe now I can get back to my ball jointed doll in peace!

(Athough I have the urge to sculpt some goblin and elf busts so maybe the aren't finished with me yet)!!

Tiger Lilly on Ebay

It's been quite a while since I've made one of my larger Ghosties, and even longer since I've listed one on ebay. So here She is! Tiger Lilly out for a stroll with her voodoo-ized umbrella!

"Tiger Lilly met her end when a Vampire spider became her best friend"

Little Tiger Lilly has a thing for cuddly little spiders, This one just happened to have a taste for cute little Victorian girls! Ahh..a friend for eternity... Tiger Lillys faithful pug dog companion, Pugsly awaits his own fate, unless he can be clever enough to come up with a plan to out wit this toothy foe, but I wouldn't hold my breath!

Tiger Lilly is one of a kind hand sculpted from polymer clay, as is Pugsly. The vampire Spider is softsculpted using victorian mourning fabrics and jet beads. Tiger Lilly measures about 11"1/2 to the top of her head and about 16" to the top of her voodoohead umbrella, which is removable and decorated with sculpted bone accents.

She's on auction at ebay right now, looking for a new home to haunt!...check her out!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180644313537&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

This might be it for the Ghosties for a while as I've had the urge for some gobliny creatures and other things that go bump in the night!

Plus those ball jointed dolls are creeping into my mind once again!

Dark Blessings, Gail

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!

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

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
