Dream... Altered Art

My last project was not Halloween themed at all but a larger altered art piece that looks like a big heavy book, but actually is a hidden compartment much like a jewelery box. I love altered art, but this is by far one of largest pieces I have worked with. I hope you enjoy!
hugs,

Look Whos Coming to my Party...

I always share my first holiday find with you guys and this is it! Can't tell I am little excited can ya?

OOOOO...the holiday season is upon us and I am already starting to decorate.

So lets see who is coming to my party this year....

These adorable german glass glittered (I can hardly compose myself over the glitter lol) shaker skulls...and yup they rattle. How cool is that? Even cooler is the fact that these dapper little guys all have a handmade party hat made from antiqued music sheet paper.

These were made by Malissa Melrose from Sleepy Hollow Folk Art

Her designs and craftsmanship are really something to shout about.

Now to find the perfect spot in my Halloween home for them.

You can find Malissa by visiting her at her website Sleepy Hollow Folk Art

The Halloween Tree

My newest painting entitled: "The Halloween Tree" witches, ghosties, pumpkins and maybe a little bunny? I am so ready for halloween! Available now in my etsy shop.

Definitely NOT an award free blog zone...

I have given it some thought as to why people want there blogs award free zones, sometimes we are so busy we can't keep up with them all, we would be blogging all day long!
I on the other hand love each and every one of them, and cherish the people who give them to me. I feel very honored to have someone stop by and say, hey you made my day so much brighter, or you inspired me so.

My friends, customers and fellow blog pals drive me to do what I do, they are all muses in my little artistic world. So with no further ado...I got a really cool award today. (subtle ain't I? lol)

So I wanted to do something different with this award, I want to blog about the wonderful gal that gave it to me. Sweet Darla from Artistic Accents by Darla. So lets talk about her shall we!

Darla does some amazing artwork and I have seen her etsy shop, wow you should visit her shop too by clicking Here Darla is a decorative artist from the Red River Valley region of North Dakota. She does the type of painting I wish I could do, I have not mastered color as some strange phobia I have prevents me from using it lol (inside joke there). I can't seem to get away from the black and orange. Her art is so colorful and unique and truly a masterpiece in every detail. She is working with mixed media now and has a wonderful selection of Original paintings and aceo's.

This is one of my favorites: (obviously)
The colors are so vibrant and really pop but they are also subtle as well.



















Look at the detail and the sweet expressions on their faces, her art just amazes me to no end.
There is something very special in the way she created mixed media pieces, very magickal indeed!

Stop by her blog, or her etsy shop and breath in all this wonderful art. Darla is breath of fresh air to me in the art world.

I thank her for this award to from the bottom of my heart!

I am passing this "your blog is amazing dahling" award on as well and would like to acknowledge QueenBe and her altered art blog: QueenBe's Altered Needs Check out her amazing altered art pieces!
hugs,

OOAK Primitive altered art assemblage grungy book

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's day! I know I did, I had 4 little ones who were very creative and sneaky about surprising me this year. All of them came up with their own unique ideas of what to get me for the big day. I got some really special gifts and a party cupcake party too! I didn't even have to vaccume or clean up toys. I was made dinner, got a favorite book, movie, coffee cup and even time alone (which I would have spent cleaning had they not yelled at me lol) It was a really special day for me.

Because I have been down with a nasty cold I wasn' t able to see my mom on Sunday but I did call her and will be planning something for wednesday, this year her birthday didn't fall on mothers day so I won't miss out on that.

I was able to keep busy (while not cleaning lol) and this is my new creation though so I thought I would share.

My newest etsy listing a primitive and extremely sweet smelling, hand dyed, hand stained cloth covered book for display with my favorite photos of the witches tea done in sepia tone.
Here is the link to my ETSY click here to see more photos

Hope all you moms had a wonderful mothers day like I did! :)
Hugs,
Heather
