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!

Sleepy Hollow

I couldn't help it, I just got done reading the legend of sleepy hollow, its my absolute favorite read this time of year. So I had to start a small series of paintings with the Hession rider as the theme. Just listed it on ebay tonight.
I know, your all expecting more wine?
Well here ya go...
More wine selections for tonight a little sleepy Hollow red, unfortunately I don't know if this is still available for this year. I will be listing a lot more halloween drinks in the coming days, you can't imagine how many cool things they have for parties. I wish I drank lol.

Have a great night!

Extreme Grungy Witch Shoes

Well surgery went well, the broken tooth is all out, and I feel so much better. I have to admit I was pretty nervous I have never been put under for a tooth before. It was over in a flash and its a good thing I like mashed potatoes and gravy because thats about all I can eat today lol. There was only a minor incision needed so a few stitches and I am as good as new! thanks so much for all the emails and well wishes you all sent, that was so sweet and much appreciated. Life is a little bland without wonderful friends like you guys!

So I listed a new auction on ebay for some adorable witch shoes, I love these shoes! I thought it would be kind of cool to do two sets one that is extremely grungy and rusty and one that is just a little grubby and primitive. That way my collectors can choose for themselves depending on if they collect extreme primitives or subtler worn treasures. I have a pair of shoes, a hat and a broom I put in my entry way every year and they look so cute when everyone comes in. So for the next few days and the weekend while I recover I will be working on more Halloween prims for my shop, etsy and ebay as well.


Have a great day eveyone!
hugs,
Heather

Historic Galena, IL Part I

In the heart of Jo Daviess County lies nestled a little town called Galena, surrounded by farms and fields that stretch farther than the eye can see.
I was lucky enough to take a little much needed trip this past weekend and traveled to Historic Galena Illinois for a weekend of antiquing, shopping, and relaxing. I decided if I was going antiquing might as well do it right in a town well know for its vintage charm, antique shops and hideaways among the Victorian pines. This little town with historic landmarks also had plenty of 19th century architecture.

I met plenty of friends along the way, One thing I really miss about living in the county is the farms and animals. I love cows, always have since I was a kid. If I could have one in town I would. They are very friendly and their noses feel just like velvet. Ok call me crazy but I just love em.

I forgot what it was like to travel up and down the hilly country side, I was partially car sick and my ears kept popping the whole time. I noticed that almost every farm house is painted white. Come to think of it, all the farmhouses I have lived in were white too. I wonder why that is? I also forgot that their caution signs have tractors on them!


Something about the country outside of Galena screams peace and tranquility. Simpler times when you should stop and smell the fresh country air, walk through the meadows picking buttercups and just be.





I will be posting a lot more pictures of my trip as I get my images installed on the computer so if you would like to see more come back and take a peek. For now its just Bessie and the girls....

Have a great day!
Prim Blessings,
Heather

Wintry Witch Series #2

Here is my second Yuletide Witch Painting.
8x10 acrylic on flat canvas panel. Two witches, decorating their Yule tree for the holidays. This one has a whimsical reindeer as well! I also textured the snow to give it that vintage snow ice glitter look.

I am exhausted, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year as well! :) I am ready for spring.

Prim Blessings,
Heather

Sorry this one is ***SOLD***
