I'm not a zombie...

I have not returned from the grave; just from some rather intense medical procedures. Sorry to have been quiet for so long...But I'm sure you'd rather not talk about that. I know I'd rather skip the whole conversation. LOL Let's just say I'm better than I have been in a LONG TIME and I plan to stay this way. 


Let's grab a cup of something yummy and catch up, shall we? 


Lets see, since we talked last McAnally and I have decided to bring a new fuzzybaby into the house. Her name is Leannan Sidhe and she was 4 weeks old yesterday. 

She lives with our neighbor and has been coming to visit for the last two weeks. She's a quiet girl, but she has attitude. McAnally thinks she is great. He does, however, think she needs a kitty makeover and is doing his best to give her one when they aren't playing hid-n-seek. LOL




The music man and I went to Allentown Art Festival June 11th. Wow! what fun! So many artists with amazing works. And the food was yummy too :)  We had a wonderful time talking to the artists and grabbing up some goodies. 

We bought some lovely cards from Kevin Stone at  FlyingWhaleStudios. They are from the Rural Blight Collection. I just fell in love with "Louder Sang The Ghost" & "The Things We Lost".  We picked up 6 in all and they are framed and  hanging on my kitchen wall. I couldn't bear to send them once I got them home. LOL I WILL be buying some larger prints from that collection. I LOVE IT! 


Check out these rockin' airship ornaments by Joe Sturckler! If you love them like I do, you can contact him HERE (click for email) 

The Music Man had to DRAG me away from James Browne's booth. 
I SO want to buy everything he has for my studio. It just puts me in that magical frame of mind. But out of all the lovelies he has, "Moon Sitting" is my absolute fave! I WILL have a copy of that for my studio. Perhaps then my muse will get the hint and Moon Sit me :)

We took a tour of the Trinity Church in Buffalo. The windows in this church are AMAZING! My photos do not do them justice. 

I could go on and on about things we saw, but I'll save some of it for later. 


It's good to be back.  I'll have some new pieces to show you very soon. So be sure to check back in.  


My plan is to post at least on Monday, Wed & Friday. Anyone who knows me knows I ALWAYS have something to talk about. LOL
 So lets see how good I am at keeping my schedule.

I won! WOOHOO!!!!

I was over checking out the wonderfully odd and whimsical things at the EHAG Emporium and I entered the drawing for the awesome goodies that they were giving away. And I won!!

I won an awesome 5x7 signed print by Iva Wilson of Iva's Creations.  

 

Be sure and stop by the EHAG emporium and Iva's Creations

Mac is wondering why there is no cat in the print. LOL

Tas-Elmish couldn't make the trip to Australia, so he is back in my Etsy store looking for a new home. If you would like to adopt a homeless twigsprite, hop on over and check him out.

Dolls traveling everywhere!

After an absolutely insanely wonderful time during One World One Heart I guess I just dropped off the face of the earth. Sorry about that. I've been totally scatter brained for the last three weeks.

First I had to mail out B-Wilder to Dolly. She won B-wilder in the ADO drawing)  Tracking says she's there, so I'm hoping I'll hear from Dolly soon...

I'm working on Shelle's new doll for the OWOH give away. She's in Australia and I couldn't mail Tas-Elmish to her due to custom regulations. So I'm creating a doll just for her. No hints Shelle LOL It's going to be a surprise.

I also had to get my doll & journal finished for ADO's Traveling Art Doll Project 2011. This is my first year and I'm so excited to be a part of it.

Here's a quick chronicle of  my doll, who is currently on her way to Mary Palmer of Starry Nite Farms to "get herself together" 

Here is how I started. I made a base head form and started building up the facial features. Just look at those big bright eyes!

OOPS!  Where did they go?

Here's what things looked like after I smoothed things out and opened her eyes back up.

.

Here it what it looked like after adding ears and detailing the wrinkles and such

And this is the finished product

She's off to Florida to visit Mary Palmer and find out more about herself and what she looks like. 

I can't wait to see what Mary does with her. 

You can keep track of Bent Willow Woman's travels on ADO's
