Halloween Witch Bobble Head Sculpture Folk Art

Here is a glimpse of my first Sculpture from my Little "Trickster Treaters' series. It is the first time I have worked with Paper Mache Clay, and I have to say it took me a little while at first, but now I just love it! It dries so fast! and also really hard stuff!! I've been having fun making these little bobble heads, which are my take on what little ghoul children would be like Trick or Treating, cause they dont need to wear a costume, they are already scary!! LOL






Here is my first offering for my simple Halloween Bobble Head sculptures for 2009. She is just too cute! What a perfect gift she would make for that person who collects Halloween things, cause she is a total one of a kind!!! I connected her head with a spring so she has a bobble wobble action..










She has been totally formed by hand, with out the use of patterns or molds. I have a short video of her in action in the auction, so if you would like to see it, or more pictures of her, you can click on one of the images to go view the sale....

Thank you for stopping by my site, and stop back again soon to get more updates on my creations!!

Pack a Romantic Picnic Basket with WSOAPP

Here are a couple pictures of my entry in our our WSOAPP Blog " Pack a Romantic Picnic Basket" contest we are having this month, you will have to stop over to the blog site and check out all the great entries, so many really good looking things! I would hate to have to be a judge on this one! LOL.... Its all so much fun, and so many good friends in this group, I wish everyone good luck!!








The whole idea was to do a photo shoot of how you imagine the perfect romantic summer picnic to look like...
I decided to incorporate a couple of my latest creations, two character folk art cat dolls. Tom "Tiger Cat" Sawyer and Becky " Calico Cat" Thacher. They have packed their basket full of fruit and grapes and some Red Cat Nip Wine. They also brought along some cookies and cream, cause cats love milk, and Becky packed a thermos full of hot Rat Tail Tea, it is Toms favorite drink! They have headed down to the local fishing hole and laid out a blanket on the bank, where they can dip there toes in the nice cool water of the slow flowing river, and cast out a couple lines from their cane poles in order to catch their lunch, if you look close , you can see they already have three nice trout in their minnow bucket. I had a lot of fun making these two dolls and you can watch for them coming up on the 7th in my WSOAPP Shop. I also really enjoyed doing the photo shoot for the contest, if you look close, you can even the little Goldfinch sitting on the handle of the basket, and I also placed a little dragon fly on the handle of the minnow bucket, all kinds of things entered into my brain for this shoot, when I reached back into my memories and thought of some of our fishing picnics as a child, so much fun!

Well that's it for now, I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend!

God Bless America! Happy Fourth of July!

Thank you for viewing, and stop back soon for updates on my projects....

Ballet Under the Autumn Moon...

Here are a few study pics I did for inspiration for my launch sculpture for our group this month. The theme is " Whispers Under an Autumn Moon". The picture we used for our banner promoting the launch immediately made me think of Halloween and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" one of my favorite animated movies...

I tried to imagine Jack and Sally dancing beneath the full moon atop of those neat sculpted dunes from the film. So I did a couple Google's and found these pictures to help me come up with something..




I knew I didn't want to copy The characters from the movie, but I defiantly wanted to stay Halloweenish and stick with that sort of character form. I sculpted the base for my couple similar to the hills from the movie, very spiral looking and animated.











Then I simply found a couple poses of some dancing couples in order to sculpt my piece in that manner.In my mind I envisioned a Magical Mr. Moon Beam person that comes to earth during each full moon and dances the night away with his true love,the Witch of the Whispering Woods. They only have the time of the risen full moon to spend together, so they spend it in a long ballet dance under the autumn moon glow.








This is a photo shop picture I did from my sculpture to help it look a little bit more like the vision I had in my head....LOL




















This is my finished piece and I am so proud of how it turned out. It is such a reward to be an artist and such a rush when you are able to take a snap shot out of your brain and make it come to life with your own two hands...

There is a video below you can watch to see a 360 degree view of my sculpture...




The Ballet under the Autumn Moon

Peter Peter Pumpkin Head...

You can watch him work by viewing the video below... I will be listing him for auction when our group does it's launch on the 28th, so keep an eye out for him, he is really cute and would make a great gift for that special person who collects Halloween items...

Dried Apple Head Witches coming soon!!!

If you all remember the post where I showed the apple head dolls I started, well here is an update...They are all done drying now, and I did enough for some witches and gouls, and some for some old men santas...I figured I would work on a few witches first, so here they are painted. They all turned out really good, and I also have their hands and little witches boots done out of polymer clay, and then painted to match.

I just love how the drying time gives each particular doll its own personality which comes to life with the painting process. Oh, so much fun to do these, and quite rewarding. I just cant quite decide which is my favorite one!!! LOL I think I will be making some little witch dolls out of four of them and then the last four, I thought I would make riding brooms and do some sort of revolving mobile out of them, we will have to see,tell me what you think???
Keep watching here, I will soon be posting some pics of my first one completed.
Also, keep a watch out for some pics of a few of the first Halloween items for this year. I just finished a couple pieces for our WSOAPP launch coming up on the 28.
It is titled "Whispers Under an Autum Moon" and I have some really special pieces done just for this launch!

This doll I call the "Alexanders Rag time Uncle Sammy Doll", just because he ended having that marching band uniform kinda look about him...

Happy Fourth of July to everyone!!!

Vintage Styled Folk Art Uncle Sam Americana Doll

Very similar to my Uncle Sam of Last year, but as usual no two of my items are exactly the same because I don't use patterns or molds with my creations. This little guy is more modeled after the World War II army recruiting posters with Uncle Sam pointing and it reads " I want you!" It makes it seem very Victorian and vintage looking with just the goatee instead of the beard and mustache, that must have been in style then! LOL







It was fun making him and I hope you have enjoyed seeing him. This will be the last one like this for this year, wouldnt you like to call him your!??? LOL

Well you can bid on him if you like, simply click on the images to go and view his auction...

He is a very big doll as far as my folk art dolls go, he is almost 40 inches tall! As with most of my Folk art dolls, he is a lot of fun to pose in a variety of different positions. He would make a great addition to anyones American collection, and a wonderful conversation piece for your home!

Immortalize Your Pet Folk Art Dolls

Two of my custom One of a Kind Folk Art Styled Pet Dolls

Here are a couple of pet dolls I did special for people in order to keep the personality of their pets alive forever... The first one is of a dog named Shadow, he is a black lab, and quite the hunter says his owners. These are the pictures supplied to me by the wife of his master, one is of Shadow himself and the other is a picture of one of her husbands favorite prints. It was a special order for her husbands birthday party. She says he loves the water, and loves to chase ducks and go fishing in the boat with her husband Steve.


I took everything she gave me and decided to go with the fishing theme. So I made his head look as much like the photo as i could and painted the details to match as well, except I added a few more white hairs around the mouth, as she said he was getting up there in years, and the gray was showing.


I put him in a pair of dark wrangler blue jeans with long underwear peaking out from beneath. Then I made him a plaid printed shirt and a plaid flannel hunters jacket, with a hunters hat with little fishing lures stuck on it. I even made the fishing rod and reel, along with a fishing net and a stringer full of his catch! What fun it was to hear of her husbands joy when he opened up the box and took him out in front of all his best friends. Note the thermal underwear and his little watch I made for his wrist.

























This next one is a favorite of mine, It is of a English Boxer named Winston. Here are the photos I was supplied with of the dog. Of course when I heard the dogs name and the breed, I immediately thought of the famous bull-dogged face of that famous British prime minister " Winston Churchill."

















This is what I came up with for them, and they just loved him, and thought I really captured his personalty, very gruff and intelligent. I decided to go with some green because of a special request for the color,( They were Irish ) so I used it in his vest and bow tie, then I topped it all of with a custom made doggie derby hat on top instead of the top hat to stay with an Irish theme. Note the custom made timepiece and chain, along with the funny little monocle over the one eye...LOL , too funny!! :)
























Both doll measure just about 36" tall . their heads, hands and feet, ( paws ) are all sculpted from stone clay, which dries much like wood and very hard and long lasting, almost feel like they were hand carved out of wood....
If you would like to have me make a special order one of a kind replica doll of your pet, or know some one who would, please fell free to contact me! I would just love to make one for you! We can discuss cost and exchange information about your pet....

Dried Apple Head Faces...

Here is what I have done so far for my latest batch of dried apple faced dolls, they are really coming along, but still not quite all the way dry. I have taken the beads out so the eye sockets will dry, I just push the beads in when they are fresh as to make a nice indentation where the eyes will go later...you can also see the tips of some of the toothpicks used to add on some of the noses and chins for the witches... this works real good and are not visible when you first do it, but as the faces dry and shrink the poke out, I will simply add eyes, snip off the toothpicks, then they are ready to seal and start painting, oh what fun, and a lot of work to come, but you can be watching for these little guys to start showing up as this falls fresh batch of ghouls and witches and just plain old hags!

My Handmade Folk Art Frog and Lady Bug Angel Spinner Dolls

Here are my newest two angel spinner dolls, I just got done listing them for sale in my WSOAPP Shop. I had fun putting a new little twist on my popular bunny angel spinners, I had a hard time deciding weather to make a honey bee or an lady bug angel, but in the end, the lady bug won out and so it was.....LOL.... as far as the frog goes, I just like frogs....LOL
I hope you enjoy them!

I hope you like them! If you would like to see more photos of each doll, feel free to check out my WSOAPP Shop and click on the link that says more images....
