Halloween Is Upon Us

I had a great surprise today. My friend Amy at Crafting By Candlelight posted a wonderful photo of my new Cronie, Winnie, and a link to my blog. Thanks Amy. I am looking forward to seeing you Sat. She has a great blog that you should check out. Just click on the link at the name above.

Here are some more of these girls for a sneak peek. I hope these photos whet your appetite for more. If so, I really  hope to see you on Sat. I really love putting faces to emails and blogs. This is such a fun show. Not to be missed.

Halloween Girls

It is getting sooooooooo close to the Halloween and Vine show, which promises to be very exciting this year. Mark Sept. 29 on your calendar and head over to Petaluma, CA.

I am frantic putting all of the finishing touches on everything for my display. I am still making more of the Cronie witches. I just can't help myself. So enjoy a preview of a few more. These gals range in the 9" height from floor to top of head, but then add the height of the hat and they measure about 15" or so. Some are just slightly taller than others.

This is a complete view of Winnie. Her head shot was in my last posting.

Here is Willa. I fear that she has been reading too many fashion magazines. (A little secret about her, is that she is named after a well known Broadway costume designer.)

And here we have Willie Mae and Willie Rae. Did your mother ever dress the two of you alike? My mother would dress herself, my dad, and myself  in coordinating outfits. My dad and I would have shirts made out of the same fabric as her dress. As you can see I had a very troubled childhood.

Stay tuned for more photos of more Cronies coming to a computer screen near you very soon. 

More New Witches

Halloween is getting soooooooo close. Halloween for me is really Sept. 29 for the fabulous Halloween and Vine show in Petaluma. But here is a preview of one of the new Cronies. I will have more photos of more witches this week. Enjoy.

New Girls In Town

This is Wilma. She is the second of this new group of witches. I am busy creating a whole bunch of these girls. I have to start now in order to get ready for the fabulous Halloween and Vine show in September. 

Stay tuned for more girls.

Halloween Time

I know that Halloween may seem a long way off for some of you, but not me. I work all year long on creating fun characters for the fabulous Halloween and Vine Show at the end of September. But for those of you who just like Halloween stuff any day, I post some new things here and show them in my Etsy Store.

This is Winnifred. She is something of a Fashionista in her world of witches. This is her latest addition to her wardrobe:  a stunning cape decorated with designs of shoes and hats. What could be more wonderful. Winnie is 9" tall from the floor to the top of her head and 15" tall from the floor to the tip of her hat.  She is made from polymer clay, wood, papier mache, and wire. She is painted with acrylic paint. And she does indeed stand on her own. If you might be interested in having her come to your home, she sells for $175 plus SH.

This little gal is one of the new series of witches that I am making for this year. There is a preview of one of her sisters in a previous post and photos of more will be added soon. I hope you enjoy having a gander at this old gal. 

Wow, I don't post very often do I? Oh, well, LIFE has a way of taking over sometimes and you just gotta go with the flow.

Happy Holidays

Snowflake Ballerina

Wishing everyone a very Happy Holidays and the best of all possible New Years. I got so excited about Christmas this year that I have started making a St. Nicholas, which I have never done before. Of course, he won't debut until Christmas next year, but I think he will be fun. I rarely do Christmas figures, but I am planning on having several in my Etsy store next year. Needless to say, I have got witches lining up on my work table already. I can never start too early getting ready for Halloween and Vine in September. And aren't you lucky, because I can give you a preview of one of those gals.

Happy Holidays from Charles and Buddy.

PS Yes the look of my blogsite has changed and not because I desired it to change. I have an ancient computer that will not support the new templates or even my old one. One of my New Year's resolutions is to get this sorted out and back to what I hope will be a better looking blog.

Happy Halloween

These two fabulous pumpkins were created by a neighbor.  (I am on break for a bit.)
