Halloween WIP Table....
As promised, here are my recent batch of creations...I am working on a lot at once, moving them all forward together, still have to sculpt two huge double siders today and will be listing some smaller ones tonight and tomorrow night for sale on eBay. Have lots of commissions going at the same time! I am already thinking about hitting the highway and heading for the Tenneseee mountains again soon, to see my life long best friend who lives in Sevierville and do the awesome waterfall/river hike again! So I need to complete a large batch before I can let myself go! The crows are cawing on this beautiful morning, making me feel very Fall-ish and nostalgic! I need to make a crow soon, maybe to perch on a moon, I just love them.

Here is a small lantern done in the old timey German parade style. I made a few of these last Halloween. This one is a cutey....

Here is my crazy table of concoctions...

I'm doing another small lamp soon, a jack o lantern with an orange hat that will light up...you can see hat in the making on the table here...


Here is a painting I have had going...its on a nice gallery wrap, pretty large, too, I keep forgetting to finish it. I took an old Millais, a favorite pre-raphaelite artist I love and painted this in acrylics (after his work) but added witch hats to two of the girls. This painting makes me smell fall. I love the dramatic lighting and romantic subject matter Millais portrays.



Speaking of painting, here is an interesting arch framed board...I added a skull carving by my sister, Dusti to the top and will paint something Halloween or creepy. Actually, the skull detail is a mold she made of her work.



Witch trumeau she and I made with my witch painting and her skulls in the background...



Back up to the moonery for me!

I love seeing all that creative work on the table. I can't wait to see what you do with the arched board. I also loved the idea (in a previous post) of the old saw as part of one of your creations.
