Happy Spooky Halloween, hope all have a spookytacular day.

Well my Fabric/clay Ghost Bride is coming along, getting ready to start on her hands, have to sand the rest of her then start painting her, then on to designing her gown and vail and whatever little extra like creepy flowers or whatever comes to mind.
I will be creating a ghost bride in clay, also when I finish this one, she will be a bit more scarier, but simular.

So my wrist is getting better and I think i'm going to try to make a few art dolls, 2 fabric/clay and 1 clay.
I have been sewing Emily Rose's gown for my granddaughter, I will also be doing her make up for halloween.
Next Saturday I will be taking the grand kids to Halloween Greenfield Village. I want to take them to Halloween Ceder Point but not sure they would be up to the walking, maybe in a few years.

Well I thought you might want to see a few picture of a costume that I designed or created and won 1st place everytime I wore it, I'm in the mood to create another one just as creepy. I made Ronald McDonald for the hubby, that was different and not creepy, a sweet kitty for my daughter which also was not creepy, I guess i'm the only one that loves creepy, my granddaughter sorta likes creepy.
Heres 3 picture in stages, first is air brushed then apply different shape prosthetics, then blend make up to match, My hair is made out of rope, hat was straw painted black and sanded, faux raven glued to the hat along with a snake. The the top, skirt, and trench coat all made from a faux suede, straw, square patches. Only 14 day till hallow night, just love this time of the year.
I'll see if I can locate the other costumes I have created.

Well the cast is off and therapy has started

Hi everyone, been a while and i'm hoping it will not be to much longer before I can start creating my art dolls again. I have been drawing and paint with one hand, still not the same as being able to use two hands, I would not wish this on anyone.
I hope to have full strength or use of my hand  within a few weeks. I was able take some photographs of my niece wedding on the beach over laber day weekend. After she has decided on the photo's that she wants in her book that I will be making then I will post those photos. But in the mean time I took this photo while I was up north in Oscoda, Mi.

Can you see the moon over the your right side of my photo, so how many of you out there could challenge yourself to capture both the sun and the moon in the same photo.

Thanks for stopping by, Darlene

Ardat Lili Published in Art Doll Quarterly

Hi everyone, it's been awhile , I dislocated my wrist and fractured my ulna, radius, and 5 small bones in my left hand back on July 1st. Dr said it would be in a cast for 6 weeks, well it's almost 4 weeks, the pins come out on Monday, so hopefully he will not put the cast back on so that I can create my creepy bride.

Well I have some awesome news my Ardat Lili was published in the Art Doll Quarterly on page 63,and 73. There are alot of well known talented artists in this issue, congrats to all artists.

I really miss my art creation and photography, I do not wish this on anyone.
