Folky Kitty Painting

I did this other painting, too. The colors are cheery.
Who would have thought that all the average (No hideous demon skulls...etc) pitchforks would be gone days ago??? My daughter is going to be a devil and I can't find one stinking pitchfork...Running around to 6 differnt places is when Halloween gets stupid :D

Folk art Paintings

I have added two paintings to my ETSY. They were sooo hard to photograph! I am still not happy with the photos, but...whatever...I have a series of paintings on square blocks of wood that I started a year ago...they are what I call my cabaret girls. I think I will finish them and post them, too. I love the 20's and 30's and the whole cabaret world. And Cabaret, the movie is one of my all time faves!
Where was I?? Oh yeah, my stinky photos....yeah gotta work on that...

I just love french girls names

I have made two new monster girls, Mignon and Cosette. I made them using a handmade bolero jacket that I purchased at Goodwill years ago. I purposely used the fabrics inside-out because I love the fray and deconstructed look. Old clothes inspire me. A lot of my voodoo type monsters have french names, it started because I was inspired by New Orleans.
These two JunkerJane name thingies are from cards I made the other day. It also reminds me I need to change my header!

The Winner Is.....

We put all of the 9 names into Mr. Scary's head. Mr. Scary is a handmade headvase I got at one of these sales in which you buy a bag for 2 bucks and fill it till it's bursting. Anyway, then we mixed them up and pulled out... Lulu!
Lulu, send me an email with your address and I will send you Voodoo Violet straight away :D

Paintings

I actually made two paintings last night on recycled wood. I have been wanting to add paintings because it is my secret wish to be a folk art painter :) Well, not so secret but it's my ultimate dream....so far :D They are not finished yet but here is a peek. The colors may be a bit more yellow due to the light. I really like to paint on wood and usually I just can't get past a blank canvas ! I love the texture and feel of wood and the challenge of painting on found items. I will be putting them up on etsy when they are finished.

Pirate Antoinette

Pirate Antoinette's boudoir of fading silks and toile reveal the decadence of times past.
I think I never did grow up and all those children's books my mom read to me until I could read myself really do come into play now huh? :D A faded toile boudoir...hee hee... Pirate Cats! I am happy that I can make these things and people relate!

Oh! some of these movies I love myself!! And the others I look forward to watching!
