Handmade OOAK Witch Head Bobble Head Sculpture

2011-09-17T18:56:00.000-07:00

This Halloween decorative sculpture is one of my Hallowee-N-Motion series. She has been sculpted with paper clay and model magic clay around a paper mache base. Her eyes swing two and fro as if to be rolling around in her head. Her bottom chin and mouth have been constructed in a weighted manner so that when she is moved, her jaw moves as well, and it looks as though she is cackling.... Her hat is made from cardboard around a styro-foam core. Her hair is simple orange with some yellow Craft Rafia. Every thing used had to be light weight as to help her with her spring action! LOL
She rises up of her wooden base on a recycled bed spring which gives her just enough balance for her to have a subtle movement back and forth with the slightest jolt! She is so much fun to watch and what a frightfully fun party attraction and conversation piece she would be!I have included a short video of her in operation below, please take the time to watch her, she might just win over your heart!

Item measures approx. 22" tall
She has just been added to my E-Bay store for a five day auction, so if you would like to see more views and pictures of her, just click on her image to go visit the auction!

OOAK Handmade Animated Rocking Chair Witch

2011-09-14T20:55:00.000-07:00

This Halloween decorative table decoration. This piece I made out of one of those animated battery operated Christmas Santa Claus that I rescued from Goodwill. Only I decided a witch suited my taste much more! She is sculpted from polymer clay. Her face and hands and feet are all hand sculpted. She comes attached to her chair with her feet dangling off the floor. The chair operates with a sound activation, just clap and she rocks back and forth in her chair as if sitting on the front porch of her eerie house just waiting for the Trick-er-Treaters to arrive. Her hair is synthetic, and her outfit has been constructed by me and is not removable. She would be a wonderful inter active decoration for your Halloween party, just imagine how fun for every one to walk by the goodie table and give a clap and watch her rock for a minute or two!

Because this item was purchased from a Goodwill store, I am sorry to say that there is no way I can promise what kind of life the mechanism will have, all I can say is I went though and cleaned everything and oiled the gears, and it works great, when you clap she rocks on and off for approx twenty seconds so battery life last a long time depending on how many claps she gets of course! LOL
I have included a short video of her rocking below, so please take the time to see her in operation!
She has just been listed for auction at my e-Bay store for a five day auction, so if you would like to see more pictures and read all the details, just click on her image to go to the sale...

For those of you who have been following my post's over at the HIVE and at Facebook, you probably have seen my updates on how my Vintage Easter Card Challenge is coming... Well I got quite a bit done today, Now I have everything all painted,, it just needs to be distressed and antiqued and then finished with a sealer varnish,, should be done in a day or so,,, I only have to assemble it and decide what kind of pull I want on the pull chain,, I usually put little carrots on all my Easter pull toys,, but I’m not sure that will do best for this one,,, probably just use a wooden ball painted to match, how does that sound??

OOAK Handmade Folk Art president Obama Doll

2011-02-18T15:25:00.000-08:00

It's not like me to be too political on my blog, out side of this time of year for Presidents day, rarely do you see anything other than an occasional President here and there,, but I have always kept my political views to myself, and when it comes election time, I normally go into the booth and vote for which ever has most earned my respect as a person, and pay little attention to party lines.
But In this case I thought it would be a suiting fit to showcase something for both Presidents Day and the celebration of Black History Month. Any of you who have followed my site over the past few years will know that I have always completed a few listings in honor of Black History Month. This year I decided to do a doll of our first Black President. He is available for bidding in my E-Bay store, and you can click on his image to travel to the site to see more pictures and read all the details about this great doll!

Patriotic Celebration of Creativity and President's Day!

2011-02-15T21:35:00.000-08:00

Just in time to celebrate the birthdays of President Lincoln and President Washington,, and in honor of President's Day on the 21rst, I am happy to introduce you to two of my latest creations.
They are a new style of nodder that I came up with. If you have a patriotic side, you will fall in love with these cute little guys. I tried to pattern them after this old Jack In the Box I had as a child, so I really tried to make them look vintage or antique, and I do think it worked, if I dont say so myself... The finish is cracked and they appear to have layers and layers of paint and varnish on them, which really adds to the old and distressed look I was going for. Plus the three dimension of the faces with the eye cut outs and mouth cut outs with the teeth on paper inserts also add to the vintage look of these little guys....
They are available now for auction in my E-Bay store, and you know me,, I always take lots of pictures with lots of different views so you can click on the images below to go to the auction and see more, plus read all the details....

Vintage Valentine OOAK Handmade Doll

2011-02-09T10:02:00.000-08:00

Here is the first real pictures of any of my creations taken in my new photo studio at my new home.. and get a load of this..... I didn't have to do any re-shoots,,, just took the pictures in different poses, then took the card out and stuck it in the computer and the pictures looked great,,, what a difference good lighting makes....
Any way I would like to introduce you to Valerie, she is my latest creation, but right now she cant talk, cause she is all wrapped up tight and packed away in a box nice and safe on her way to her new home for Valentine's Day... She is just a delightful little girl! A valentine gift for a special freind. I learned a long time ago that as an artist... one of the most endearing things we can do with our art, is to share it with another artist,,,, you can sell online, and you can get quite a name for your self among collectors of your work,,, but collectors will sometimes down size their collections in order to make room for new purchases,, then your item gets resold, and where it ends up who knows,, and my concern has always been that my items end up someplace where they will be truly loved and taken care of.... that is why i like to do swaps at least a couple times a year,, it is fun to do the themes, plus you receive something from another artist, and your item goes to an artist that is sure to appreciate it for all it is worth..

New Design for Valentines Day! WIP "Key To My Heart Doll."

2011-01-25T14:01:00.000-08:00

Fresh onto my work table lately has been three of my vintage styled "Izanna Walker" inspired dolls... I decided for Valentines Day, that I would switch things up a little bit.. I thought of a style that would have a little hidden draw in the Bodice portion of the chest,, along with a little key hole to insert a skeleton key, and open the drawer.... I think these little dolls are going to be very unique and definitely OOAK's!
For not making or drawing up any plans,, I am beginning to see that I think it is really going to work! LOL
I drilled holes in the back wall of the torso's that will be used to house a magnet that will keep the drawers closed...
I started out with my smaller sized vintage doll frame,, and used Styrofoam board for the base,, and cut and carved the rough shape,,, then i covered everything with rigid wrap and let them dry....

Then she will have a little skeleton key on a chain around her neck to insert into the key hole and ope up the drawer...Then I cut out the pattern that the draw was going to be,, and pealed away the covering hard shell, leaving the foam underneath.... Then it was just a matter of carving out a hollow space for the drawer,, just like carving a JOL kind of.....LOL

Then , I made a bottom and sides for the drawer, and re-attached it to the hard shell that had been removed from the chest of the doll.... so far everything has had to be tweaked quite a bit, but the drawers are opening good now... I even put little magnets and metal strips on the backs to keep the drawer in place while shut....

Pprogress is a lot faster than I thought it would be, with out ever doing any of these before.... just my first day in,, and all my parts are drying....
keep checking back for i hope to have them painted in a couple of days,, then these dolls are going to be for sale in one of my sites.....

OOAK HANDMADE BLACK HISTORY TRIBUTE DOLLS BY CRE8OR'STOUCH

OOAK Rosa Parks Handmade Folk Art Doll by Cre8orsTouch

CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE TO GO VIEW THE SALE FOR MORE PICTURES AND PRICE DETAILS...

Handmade Folk Art one of a kind Rosa Parks Tribute Doll
We know the story. One December evening, a woman left work and boarded a bus for home. She was tired; her feet ached. But this was Montgomery, Ala., in 1955, and as the bus became crowded, the woman, a black woman, was ordered to give up her seat to a white passenger. When she remained seated, that simple decision eventually led to the disintegration of institutionalized segregation in the South, ushering in a new era of the civil rights movement. This is my latest addition to my Folk Art series dolls. In honor of Black History Month, I have released my Signature Rosa Parks Tribute Doll. She is handmade and a complete one of a kind. I have sculpted her head, hands and feet from my formula of stone clay, which air dries and seems almost wood carved when finished. Her torso is made from hard rigid foam board and her arms and legs are soft fabric constructed with dangle joints, which allows her to sit upright and be posed in a variety of positions. Of coarse when delving in folk art, I try not to make too close of a comparison in looks, but I do pay close attention to certain features, then I try to sculpt a caricature of the person in keeping with the folk art theme. So I went on-line and did a Google image search and found some pictures of her. One picture is of her being booked at the jail, and another of her sitting on the bus. That was the image I set out to portray in my doll, and I think she turned out quite well, if I don’t say so myself. I used the image of her at the jail to make the dress, and although the picture was in black and white, it appeared that she was wearing a gray colored suit dress, so that is what I did for my doll and I also did a under slip with a ruffled trim.Then the picture of her sitting on the bus, it appeared she was in a long wool coat perhaps, and it looked dark, again the picture is black and white, so I guessed and made her coat navy blue. I also went from the picture and put her hair up in the back, swept of her face into a bun and with a center part in the front, then I finished it of with a Pill Box Hat. It also appeared she was holding on to her hand bag in the photo, so I made an accessory purse for her. I also made a hang tag for her that is a bus ticket on one side and has my logo and signature on the reverse side. She would be the perfect addition to anyone who collects this type of memorabilia. She is a complete one of a kind and cannot be duplicated to every detail. She is an absolute delight from her little spectacles right down to the laces in her shoes! I truly hope I have done her well, and I hope she remains to be recognized for the important stand
( seat ) she took in this great countries gains in civil rights for all….
She measures approx. 25” tall from head to toes.

OOAK Handmade Harriet Tubman Folk Art Doll by Cre8orsTouch

Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave from Maryland who became known as the "Moses of her people." Over the course of 10 years, and at great personal risk, she led hundreds of slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad, a secret network of safe houses where runaway slaves could stay on their journey north to freedom. She later became a leader in the abolitionist movement, and during the Civil War she was a spy for the federal forces in South Carolina as well as a nurse. This is another of my latest additions to my Folk Art series dolls. In honor of Black History Month, I have released my Signature Harriet Tubman Tribute Doll. She is handmade and a complete one of a kind. I have sculpted her head, hands and feet from my formula of stone clay, which air dries and seems almost wood carved when finished.Her torso is made from hard rigid foam board and her arms and legs are soft fabric constructed with dangle joints, which allows her to sit upright and be posed in a variety of positions. Of coarse when delving in folk art, I try not to make too close of a comparison in looks, but I do try to capture the spirit of the person by paying attention to certain features. I try to sculpt a caricature of the person in keeping with the folk art theme.I did a Google image search for Harriet and was able to find a few pictures of her, so I set out to style her in that manner. She of coarse was a slave, so I dressed her in a simple linen dress with a ruffled slip underneath and some bloomers down to her shoes. A patterned print apron hangs from her waist. One of the pictures showed her sitting with a dark dress on and a lace ruffled collar with many buttons, so I added a little lace trim and a line of buttons down the front. Also in one of the pictures it showed her hair all up and covered with a cloth wrap, so I put her hair up from her face and wrapped it with a suitable printed rag looking fabric which leant itself quite well I think, since I always like to accessorize my dolls with something, I decided to picture her hanging out the laundry to dry, and I gave her a peach crate basket full of linens ready to be hung up on the line.What a wonderful addition she would make for any collector of Black American heritage memorabilia. I hope I have done her a service of tribute that truly helps to recognize the sacrifices and bravery that she showed to her fellow man. She comes with a hang tag signed and dated by the artist. She is a complete one of a kind and cannot be duplicated to each detail.
She measures approx. 29” tall from head to toe

Handmade Country Farmhouse Table Top Candle

2010-12-21T15:31:00.000-08:00

Here is my latest piece I have made for Christmas gifts this year,,, you might not know it from just looking, but these candles are all made with materials that most craft people have just lying around the house.. The basis for the candle, I purchase from Michaels Store, it is a little battery operated flicker flame candle, that has a twist on-off switch on the bottom. I use a empty T.P. roll, I place the candle inside the cardboard roll, and fill it up to the top with plaster of paris,,, then after it has set up, I take my hot glue gun and add some drips around the top, to make it look as though it has been burning for quite some time! ( I like lots of drips) Then every thing is mounted onto a couple wooden circles and an old tin muffin form, then I attach a plastic shower curtain hook, as the grip. Then all was painted and distressed, then a few sprigs of festive berries and greens to add a Holiday charm, and there you have it, a very nice and in-expensive homemade gift to give a family member or friend for Christmas!
I hope to be doing a tutorial on one of these over the holidays, so keep it here for all the details, or follow along with me on the "Hive"
http://creatingthehive.com/cre8orstouch or check out my Cre8ors Craft Clubhouse, to see all the easy little craft projects you can do along with me!

The Funny Thing About Dogs Is......

2010-12-20T20:57:00.000-08:00

Well my best friend is all tuckered out from his nightly walk.... we didn't get to far tonight in this blizzard we are having though, but I wanted to get him out and see some of the lights around the neighborhood. He has a fresh haircut from the visit to the vet last week,,, they didn't cut him quite as short this time as last,, cause they said I was doing a fine job of keeping his coat in great condition! That is good news I guess.....
any way, here he is lying on the floor beside my bed, after just coming in from out in the snow, you cant see his head, cause it is stuck up under my bed! The funny thing is,,,,,, not more than two feet away from him , is the, no strike that, one of the new dog beds I got for him for Christmas. I got him two new beds, from the same place I got his bed from last year, and he liked it so much, I decided to get a few more for the new house, cause there isn't as much carpet as in the old house....

But does he lay on his new beds? Heck no!, He still wanders around , looking for the old one,( which is back in the laundry room,,, cause it is older now, and less presentable to company! LOL) He even tried dragging the old one out tonight, and lay on it in-front of the tv, while I was watching the game! LOL I thought the one pictured above would just be a hit with him,, cause it is very similar to the one I got him last year,,, very soft and cushy,, and huge! Big enough for him to do his little turn-a-rounds on before laying down....LOL, plus I just loved the little dog paws on it! so cute! But my favorite has the be the one below,, cause one of my all time favorite movies is Dances With Wolves, with Keven Kostner, what a great movie! So I just had to get this bed for my best little buddy.... notice what it reads!

Self standing Large Vintage Styled Victorian Santa Claus Doll

2010-11-29T21:15:00.000-08:00

This one is coming a little too late for sales this year, but I'm proud of him just the same. He is the first of this type that I have done in quite some time. Because of his large size, I made him so he comes apart either for ease in stowing him away, or just simpler to ship.
Just listed him on E-Bay you can click on his image to travel to his auction to see more pictures and read all the details...

His boots and legs are attached to a base for stability, and he comes apart at his waist. His face is sculpted from stone clay and hand painted with a whimsical flair to the days gone by.
His beard and mustache are cut from this really cool cotton string mop that lends itself very nicely to an primitive look.
He features a very distinctive looking twin tasseled stocking cap with fur trim and gold jingles.
a very Victorian styled coat with lots of fur trim and sparkly buttons and latches down the front along with red Christmas holly leaves as accents. In one hand he holds a gold ring with ribbons and bows and jingles.
He is one of my favorite pieces I've done this year, and adorable right down to his little boot laces. Just the right amount of sparkle. He will soon be up for offering in one of my locations...

This is Jebediah the Woodland Santa from way up at the North Pole. He is a doll that was inspired by the "Cabin and Lodge" look that was real popular a few years back.

What might he be seen wearing the rest of the year way up there in that frigid climate. He is available now for auction at my E-Bay store.

Here are the finished dolls that I have been so busy trying to finish in time for Halloween. Wouldn't you just love to have one of these sweet little dolls casting spells of joy around your house this Halloween season!?! LOL
I am very proud of how they turned out, and sure hope you all love them as much as I do! I wasn't sure at first that I could do it, but I think they turned out good for never having taken any lessons on how to make them...

Each doll is a little bit different, each with its own face and hair do. Then the dresses were sewn from Halloween Hand towels purchased at Hobby Lobby and they each have a little embroidered Halloween scene on them that I just think makes them adorable!

There isn't much time left til Halloween, so I hope they get their new homes soon, so they cane arrive in time for the Holiday....

Izannah Walker inspired OOAK Halloween Witch Primitive Doll by Cre8orsTouch...

2010-10-14T20:40:00.000-07:00

As an artist, sometimes I find my inspiration in not being able to afford the things I really like, and as far as that goes, Antiques have always been something I could never really afford to buy, especially the really nice ones. So I am instead inspired to make my own version of what I remember or what I seen, and a lot of times the designs in my art work reflect that...
A while back I was intrigued by a certain look of a particular style of old antique dolls by Izannah Walker, her design is ageless and has been mimicked time and time again by other artist.. The thing with me is , I approach things from what I am most familiar with doing, and my own abilities, I study and look at things , and find a way to make them in my own fashion. Well I have decided to try some of these primitive old looking dolls on my own.

Mine are fashioned from paper clay and cloth, and Plaster of Paris. I am posting a few of my inspiration pictures that I Google'd for this project,, and then I am posting a sneak tease pic of my three little girls, each one is different, and will be dressed in the traditional Walker style, with the open shoulders and pretty dresses, of course the fun part for me is always trying my best to make my art look as though it has survived the ages, with lots of sanding and cracking, and layers of time worn lacquers that have cracked and yellowed with time! They will all be Halloween themes with embroidered Halloween designs on their dresses! Very, very cute! I cant wait to share them, and hope to be finished in a couple of days.... so stay tuned here and let me know what you think of my design....

Thank you for stopping by my site!

OOAK Handmade Dried Apple Head Witch Doll Hanging Mobile...

2010-10-05T15:41:00.000-07:00

Here is my latest offering to my Hallowee-N-Motion collection for this season.... I made three of my little dried apple head bendie dolls and gave them brooms in their hands so they can be posed as if they are flying up, up, and away into the night...

All three are hung from spinners and are attached to a three prong mobile that make them bob and fly in the breeze, this piece would be great for a car port or covered patio or breeze way. I shot a little short video below where you can see them flying around my back yard! LOL.

Each one is unique with its own personality, and because they are wire bendie dolls, they can be gently posed in a variety of positions. A great addition to anyone's Halloween collection!

Thanks for stopping by, and watch for this piece to be listed on E-bay soon!

OOAK Handmade Wall Witch Gourd Lantern

2010-09-29T16:09:00.000-07:00

Here is my latest gourd project that have offered in my e-bay auctions... She was made from this really strange shaped gourd, it was short and flat, and I am sure there is a name for this type of gourd, but it slips my mind right now. So I took it and turned it up on its side and sculpted her face on the bottom side of the gourd, which had the nice round shape, then I cut out the top, which became the back of the piece, which allows her to be hung on a wall as a wall sconce lantern. Then she has paper inserts behind the cutouts of her face which really gives her an vintage look. The n she is lit up with a battery operated flick flame which when turned on, stays lit for 8 hours and goes off automatically, then turns back on again in 24 hours, and so on and so on! Its really quite neat! Here is how she looks in the dark....
I just got done adding her to my e-bay listings so you can click on the image to go view the sale, and see more pictures and find out more details about her....
