Bride and Groom , cat art dolls standing

I made a happy happy wedding

couple ... ha ha

These are my wood cutouts

I made stands for them

I think this could be used as a cake topper

for nutty cat people

I'll be putting this in my shop SOON

Hey guess what > after two days of the computer nightmare .... I went to my car this morning and the battery was dead ! I had to wait for the triple A guy

It was my fault > I had left my parking lights on

Oh .... it's these little things that are hard sometimes . Annoying but .... it all works out . learning patience > getting mad doesn't change a thing .

Cat in a Yellow dress , wood cutout , standing

This is Meena . My illustration of a little cat girl on wood . You know how I make these , but I'll write it again ..... I mount a print of my original drawing onto MDF board and cut it out on my scroll saw

and I made the little stand out of wood too

I'll be putting this kitty in my shop later tonight

but if you want one > let me know !

Thank you

OH ..... I forgot to tell you . I had a terrible weekend and crappy Monday . We had a horrible thunder and lightning storm and it knocked out our T.V. and computers . What a miserable experience to get someone here to fix everything . It took three separate visits from three different guys to fix it .

The first two couldn't do it . The last guy today fixed it ..... thank God .

Hope you had a good weekend !

nuts > I just noticed I smudged a star .... now I have to go fix that !

This just sold > but I will make more ........ soon !

art doll , wood cutout , Fancy Amelia

SOMETIMES >>>>> sometimes I make something and I really like it . This is from my ' Voice of the Dolls ' series of illustrations and paintings .

This art doll makes me think of my mother ,

because if she were here ..... I just have this feeling she would like this one

so

I named her Amelia after my mom

It's weird though > I have to tell you that my mother had about five different names

she went from Emilja [ Polish ] to Emily to Emilia

back to Amilja

to Mille .... to Mitzi .... to Melu

to MOMMY ..... to MA [ when I was older ]

holy mackeral

anyway > You can see more of Amelia

in my SHOP !

Egg Head painting

My paintings are at Cavalier galleries for the summer season .

You can see some of them on their website ..... but they didn't put them all on !!!!!!!!!

That makes me crazy !

so .... HERE is one that they did not put on the website

click to enlarge !

This is Egg Head . He built his house on sand and if you know your Bible that is not wise to do !

Build your house on the rock ........ JESUS !

so you can find me there at

Cavalier Gallery on Nantucket

Wedding couple and air conditioning

Many years ago > I used to pour plaster into my old chocolate molds and make Rabbits and Santas and more . This is a wedding couple that I made . The mold I have is metal .... it's old ! I made the base from polymer clay .

I painted the figures and antiqued them . I made these chalkware type of figures because I couldn't afford Vallencourt things ... ha ha

so I made my own ! and also sold these in gift shops

AND

BIG NEWS

CRABBY Sandy is HAPPY

Husband Michael bought a little air conditioner and oh my gosh .... it is little lightweight thing ,

it cooled the house a little but mostly it got rid of the humidity

He got it at Walmart for $125.00 and it only weighs about 40 pounds

I had no idea they made them like this !

We have one in the basement collecting dust and it's metal and the thing must weigh 400 pounds . and there it will stay .

anyway > so now behind this wedding couple , in this window is my lovely little air conditioner that wrecks the look of my pretty little window , but that's okay ..... I am thanking the Lord for this air conditioner !

My cats look better , and I swear I heard Juliette say thank you !

Oh > click to enlarge

ONE more thing > Visit Cathy's blog to see her new wall of art [ some of my work is there ]

I love it !

rabbit , cat and Bea....sold

I made little friends for Bea

in my shop !

I added a few other things to my shop too, including a sculpted perfume bottle

Teapot Lady

My teapot lady

A teapot which I covered with polymer clay , I sculpted her face .... added hand painted details

encrusted all over with jewelry , seashells , buttons rhinestones

and I antiqued her , I love the way antiquing brings out more details

click to enlarge !

These teapots are gallery art ..... from my "Teapots and Ladies " collection .

she is in my shop

sad. Seasonal Affective Disorder

I have the opposite of S.A.D.

which is

seasonal affective disorder

I have REVERSE S.A.D.

Rainy days and Mondays

always make me HAPPY !

How many more days in a row of this hot SUNNY sun ?

I am so tired from this heat !

Oh .... I remember overcast days

Gloomy and nice

chilly and crisp

Sorry about complaining but ....

I can't take anymore of this SUNNY summer and it's only July

so I think this painting of mine is a self portrait , although I am not quite this old or gray

well .... I am sort of gray .... and sort of old

Just wondering if I am the only one

You like this ???????

I wanted to paint but I am going to read a book instead . I sure can't vacuum or paint furniture , that's for sure . Tell me to shut up .... sometimes I LOVE to complain

P.S. > my painting here is actually my Welcome sign on my house ... ha ha ... sort of a mixed message to visitors I think .... beware the gloomy, moody artist within

Paper doll on wood , Bea

This is Bea , I drew little alphabet letters on her shirt .

I have a doll collection , and these dolls always make me want to draw .

So last night I saw this doll on my shelf , she is an old rubber doll ..... I took her down , and drew her with my Inktense on illustration board.

I mounted her onto wood ,and then cut her out on my scroll saw

I made a little stand for her too !

she's in my shop

......................... Happy Independence Day [ a day late ]

but we let's remember and be grateful all year long .

I hope you all had a good day !

I stayed home and made Halloween things and painted this painting.

It's in my shop !

Does anyone have a better title ?

I was thinking

" look behind you dopey "

Love Red click to enlarge........ sold

I painted this on paper covered board

lots of red

lots of details

I put this and some of my other paintings

in my Etsy shop

On another note > did you happen to see the last episode of " Work of Art "

I am completely disgusted

It was filthy , blasphemous , DISGUSTING

I am so disappointed . I wonder how Sarah Jessica Parker could have allowed this to be shown

Tell me if you saw it and what did you think

I think it's so sad .... and it made me angry too

DISGUSTING

ugh
