For me, it's all about the magic - that wide-eyed sense of wonder we felt as children, dressing up on Halloween and setting out at twilight, treat buckets in hand....
Speaking of which, I have a bit of that magic to share with you now...six minutes of Halloween eye candy, beautifully put together by Scott Smith of Rucus Studio: Wasn't that just magical?!
It has me absolutely giddy with anticipation, and it's only February! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if you're within striking distance, this show is a MUST SEE. Sooooooooo much fun. And if you visit the site, there's a list of this year's artists posted (which even for the fourth year makes me feel like a little kid sitting at the grown ups table, hehe) :)
See you there?!
In the meantime, I have another bit of whimsy to share - a tea chest finished just yesterday, and listed now on eBay.
I love the little mousie-witch hanging on to the cat's tail, and am thinking I need to paint a few more cat and mice pieces. They're just too fun.A couple of Easter pieces are in the works as well, and of course, more Halloween, because it's NEVER too early.
Right now I'm off to brew up some of my own tea, watch the snowflakes fly (yet again, *sigh*) and play with paint and glitter.
Wishing you a day of magic and whimsy!

Carolee thanks for posting the Ghoultide link. I was unable to attend last year. My sitter backed out and taking my 3 boys there was out of the question. I am looking forward to this year! Your Halloween box is just enchanting!
ReplyDeleteLove the halloween things, and this one above is too cute.The mouse is adorable LOL.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful painting of the trick or treaters brings back so many happy memories, that is why I still love Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Halloween and Day of the Dead....and Christmas and Easter. Oh Well, I love old fashioned holidays of any sort. With heavy emphasis on 'Old Fashioned". Can't stand the modern day consumerism of holidays.
ReplyDeleteWas delighted with your box. You are so talented. Keep up the good work. You're an inspiration.
