Theater of Spooks for STJ update!

It is a BIG month for the Spookytime Jingles crew....we are turning TWO! I have been a member of this wonderful group for a little over a year, and it has been such a great experience. I am so honored to be surrounded by such talent and inspiration!
Please make sure to head over to the STJ site at midnight tonight for our spooky and sweet anniversary celebration!

My Theater of Spooks will be up for grabs. I had hoped to finish two other pieces, but this project took a bit longer than I had anticipated. I am so glad I finished it just in time! It is full of sculpted details...the weathered tree, spiffy owl, hanging bat, costumed raccoons, kitty ghost and jack o' lanterns were all sculpted with paperclay and painted with many layers of acrylic washes and pastels.

Halloween Theater WIP and Punkamunk update

This Halloween critter theater has been quite a challenge for my befuddled brain. I am still arranging and rearranging and deciding what else needs to be sculpted. So far, there are 2 raccoons, an owl, a bat and a ghost kitty. I had to step away and clear my mind for awhile. We'll see how it turns out in the end....



Punkamunk, our new "permanent" foster girl, is doing well. Oh how I adore her! She is living up here in our art/computer room which has plenty of space, lots of windows, a sofa, a big armchair and lots of stuff to play with, but all she really wants to do is be loved, fill her tummy with good food and nap A LOT. I just wish she would sleep on the sofa or in the soft cat beds, but she prefers the floor. I guess she is so used to sleeping on the ground outside all these years and that is what makes her comfortable. I haven't decided what to do about her mammary tumor. I have gotten differing opinions from various trusted vets, so I am trying to weigh all the information and figure out what is best for her. It feels like it is getting bigger but I can't be sure. I am trying not to worry and obsess too much and enjoy this time with her. Punkamunk is a purrfect art assistant!

Here she is on a stack of bubblewrap :)...softer than the floor, but still...
