The holidays are coming swiftly upon us, while my 10 yr.old grandson laments at the length of time he has to wait for Christmas, I just purchased my first Christmas gift! It seems like this time of year sweeps in and out like the tide.
This year we have decided to hit the beaches of Hawaii after the Holidays , which will be something to look forward to after the holiday let down.
I have been working on some new Christmas pieces to offer on Ebay & the http://ahaartistsstudio.com/ site . The first photo on the left shows all 7 tiny snowmen and 1 penguin. The tiny snowmen& penguin were created using 4" dried gourds. Each one has it's own personally , unique clothing and accent pieces.
I will be offering a Large Santa Claus piece on the AHA website as well. He measures 15" tall & carries small feather tree. He has a retro appearance with color washes ranging from dark to lights reds with tiny mod trees covering the coat. A border of vintage cream and combination of various geometric shapes finish off the border. His hat is cover in large two toned circles and HO HO HO written as a pattern on the hat. He will be available on the website on Nov 25th.
I will be hosting a blog giveaway starting on Nov 25th ending on Dec.5th

OMG is time moving at the speed of light or am I standing still??? Where did summer go? Not that Oregon saw much of summer, the temps never really hit much in the way of heat and we had lots of rain too.
There have been reports saying our beloved pumpkins may not turn their glorious orange in time for Halloween! This could be a disaster, who in the world wants green pumpkins?! Unheard of!
I can see it now , we'll all be painting our pumpkins orange. sigh.... Probably have to import some from another state, this would just be wrong!
Fall in Oregon is all about the corn mazes and pumpkin hunt. Every year our family treks out to one of the nearby farms for a afternoon of fun in the corn mazes, sipping hot cider, munching on warm apple cider donuts. yummy! Most importantly the search for the most perfect pumpkin. The kids always head for the humongous pumpkins, which of course out weighs a small teenager! Always a treat to try and wrangle it into the the wheel barrel.
I have been busy working on commissioned Santa Gourds and music doll pieces which I will post peeks of , before heading back to my studio. Smiles Susan
I thought I'd share my newest piece that will be available for purchase on the new www.ahaartistsstudio.com Marketplace on Sept. 25th.
My Little Demon is a hand sculpted piece made from paper clay securely mounted on a tin that opens to reveal a secret hiding place. Named for one of my weaknesses " Halloween candy & cupcakes!" Approximately 7 inches tall, carries a large lollipop and appears be standing on top of a cupcake. Demon has been painted then cover in Martha Stewarts extra fine glitter and glass glitter on top of the cupcake. Two different colors crepe paper fringe as accents. Off to the movies with my family! ~susan~
