Happy Saturday

It's gonna be another hot day so that means another park day. This time I'll take something to work on because I can only magazine flip for so long.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday :)

I got big love for this one

It had been whispered in the school for years...that Ms.Ophelia ate children. It was said that there was a room behind the chalkboard in which she hid the bones.

For tomorrow.

A new idea and Monster Tuesday

Company was coming. The little monsters were never allowed to hang about the parlour. So when she heard the doorknocker Tuesday crawled under the loveseat dustruffle. The grown-ups always had things to say that could come in handy later...

When I was trying to think of a story for Tuesday the first thing that came to mind were white sofa slipcovers. I could picture her mother brightening up the dark house for summer. Then I thought of the house. Then A room with a View movie. English interiors, tall windows, fields, linens, teacups, roses, visitors...

I'm feeling like a crazy lady

and all I wanna do is go into the basement and cut up old furs and stitch monsters.

Thanks to the Crockpot...

I was able to make Madame X Voodoo.
The lighting is different now that summer is almost here. Take a look-see... my only dependable light is at 9-ish in the morning but I don't have that kinda patience!!

I am not fond of Cool Ranch Doritos

Couldn't think of a title :D

Kids should be the ones to work

:D
...the energy.
After hours in the sun and I AM THE ONE to come home drowsy and beat....um....what's wrong here?
And it's funny what people (people you don't know....sales people... grocery checkers, gas attendants....) will let you know during your brief visit....you just have to laugh and relate :D

Monster Norma

I like making these eye patches. I'm trying to combine a ratttier look to my monsts. I like the contrast. Everything is about contrast, I find :)

All Together

Here's my new bunch.

New Monsters

I will have some new monsters today :) Woo hoo.I was up late, I have been up late for a while now but it's what i gotta do to have time to make anything. Blah blah, I'm still in a good mood :)
I am still having my morning caffeine but soon I will be sewing them shut!

Street Stickers

I just love graffiti, street art, stickers, etc. I try to capture them whenever I am out.
I know I haven't posted any plush lately but I have been working on paintings. I am going to start adding prints to my shop. But I should be tackling a monster today. We'll see, I'm sleepy today.

Found

I was driving the kids to the park and was at a stop and I spied this art on a post. Luckily I had my camera so I shot it from the car. It's just down the street from my house and I wonder if it is to be taken or what?? It gives me the idea to leave nailed voodoos up all over Portland :D It'll take a little disipline, like making the time to make extras but I should do it. I mean, if I saw a surprise voodoo nailed to a pole it would completely thrill me to tears :D But I'll write a TAKE ME note.
K, someone check on me in a few weeks to make sure I'm not just talking to talk.

Primitive

I love my latest dolls, I do, like my own kids, but I feel like I am getting away from junky primitive dirty ratty thready loose ends, which I feel is home.

I feel inspired to make something really raggedy.

But I have a movie to see tonight, but let's hope I can keep that dirty thought :D

Truman and Monster Lucia

Truman is a sweet boy clown. I am not a fan of scary clowns, but a creepier one may be coming for those who are.
And about Monster Lucia....
Monster Lucia had to spend a month with her Aunt. Bored silly describes it all. So when she was given her Aunt's old paperdolls to play with her little monster mind quickly went to work and she gave them all human faces and choreographed a bloodstained melodrama.

Sofia

Sofia's papa was the Extraordinary Tattooed Man and her mama was the Beautiful And Exotic Tightrope Walker. Sofia had known magic all of her days and would sometimes paint these scenes in her notebooks.

These are inspiring to me

I love Mississippi Ave. I took all these yesterday.

Mississippi Ave

Man, I tell you, this is my second day of a reallllllly slow computer and it is enough to bring forth the mother of all swear words.
Anyway....
Went to Mississippi Ave. today, I have never been and I loved it! I have never been to the shop Flutter and still haven't really because it was closed....but I got a few shots through the glass. I have to go back!! And next door was another shop named Front Porch which was soooooo cute, too! I love this street. All I am posting tonight are the Flutter pics.
It has been raining all day and even though I love the rain my hair hates it :D
