I wanted to give you a sneak peek at my upcoming EBay listings. First is The Felonious Frosty. This guy makes me smile! We lived in Woodland Park Colo, when our kids were growing up. Now if you are not familiar with this beautiful place , it is 8500 ft approximately above sea level Pikes Peak was the view from our front window. To say we had snow would be a understatement! We usually got dumped on! My kids used to have to wear snow suits over their Halloween costumes. My daughters birthday is Oct 16Th and every year it would snow about 3 ft. on or about her birthday, which was a mixed blessing for her , no school, but no party either cause no one was going anywhere!Anyway I remembered we always had snowmen in the yard for Halloween and it got me thinking about what would happen if Frosty would have gotten a bewitched villains hat instead of a silk top hat? Enter Felonious! The treat stealing Frosty running down the road grabbing treat bags from unsuspecting trick or treaters! I think there might be a children's book in there some where! Anyhoo, Felonious is caught in the act of stealing a trick or trick container of goodies and away he runs. Notice the maniacal look in his eyes! I get that look sometimes around chocolate! Even the pumpkin and candy corns are scared look at the candy trying to escape! And he's even dropped some on the snow covered hill! that's just not right!!The next piece is a gourd that has been sculpted to resemble a antique German piece that I couldn't begin to afford , so I recreated it with my unique twist. The gourd was hollowed out so that the battery operated candle lights his eyes and mouth. Both are now available on EBay use aha art ID seasonalwhimsies... Susan

It's been over a month already since I last stopped in! I can't believe how time is slipping by so quickly. I received a new picture of the Victorian Santa piece a few weeks ago, Mirek's new version of my piece is still a little too robust, so more tweaking is needed. Hopefully I will hear something soon. In the meantime I have been experiencing a sort of manic creative spell. I find myself in my studio early and only coming out for the occasional snack or ice water break. My studio is a disaster, snips of crepe paper, clay ,wire and paint occupy every surface including my sewing machine! I am confident I am NOT the only one who does this. At least I hope not. YIKES! My husband will only peek into my space at this point, he being very organized, orderly and a total neat nick views my creative space as more of a environmental assault on his well developed sense of order and cleanliness scale. He just shakes his head and wanders away....... He has also been working away on the darling little antique dressing table we found several months ago. One of the drawers needed a bit of my help as a bit of the wood detail was missing. I just love paper clay! I will post pictures as soon as he is done. His space , of course, is well ordered, clean, organized everything has a place and can usually be found in its place immediately upon completion of its task. I tread carefully through this space, because I only have to appear for a moment and my mere presence can cause something to fall to the floor, or paint to leap onto my clothes. I usually just shake my head in amazement and retreat back to my chaotic haven . I have lots of pieces waiting to be finished so I am off for now! Will be posting pictures in day or two ! From one procrastinator to another "get off the computer and go play in the clay!!" ~Susan
On Saturday Sue, from the Artistry of Poland, sent photos of the artist Mirek's rendition of the Victorian Santa. Imagine my surprise when I received these pictures shown in white. These were his sculpted version of my piece. HUH?? The only thing I could see that looked like mine was the hood! I'm thinking Holy Cow did he even look at my Victorian Santa or did he not like it and decide to do his own version instead. I, having no experience with this type of process was at a loss to say the least! I didn't want to be critical , it is obvious that he is a talented artist in his own right, but sniff , it didn't even closely resemble my piece. I finally decided to print out a copy of his work and sketch my changes over it. Thinking to myself that he should save that one for another Santa in the series and start over on mine completely. Sue, just contacted me, she sent him the wrong picture! She was wondering why his Santa looked like a Andy Warhol version of mine! lol ! Yay! I was really feeling intimidated by his version! What a relief!! She has sent him the correct pictures now and should be on track for the August completion date. Hopefully will be done by next week. ~Susan~
