I have made many witch mannequins from my pattern throughout the years....

Each one is different and has a different character....the mannequin fabric can be any halloween or fall fabric.  Making the skirt is really fun...and adding different embellishments are fun!

My mannequin pattern is in my etsy shop....

They are fun to make for gifts, craft shows, and for friends.

All the prim secrets are included in the pattern.

Poor Lucky got stung by a bee this past weekend.

He snapped at it and it stung his mouth.

He was swollen but in good spirits.

Now he is much better and I have very happy!

The monster squad is here

I spent some time this week making these cute Halloween dolls!

I really needed to just have fun and do something different....it was just the right set of projects.

THEY ARE ALL SOLD

These dolls are painted in stages...here are the dolls with a base coat.

My favorite is the mummy!

All my dolls are in my etsy shop: HudsonsHolidays

The mummy has big blue eyes and a red velvet heart.

This is my Zombie girl....she is holding some brains....lol.

I made it from fabric and free motion stitching.

It was hard to keep her eyes looking vacant...I really wanted to paint them in.

She is wearing a badge that has a pinback on the back so you can wear it.

Witchie poo

See her green glittery shoes!

She has green eyes and lovely green skin!

She also has a small broom...her ride!

Pumpkin boy

He also has a pin badge...look at his teeth...lol.

Each doll has a detailed painted face.

Franky

he is a sweetie!

He has his favorite music in his pocket....and a monster mash bingo card.

Gray tabby cat...with fall on her mind.

Such big yellow eyes....and a leaf pin too.

Here they are on my steps....hanging out.

These two are besties.

This kitty has climbed a tree.

Two spooks, ready to pounce down on someone.

I hope you like seeing my collection...and they are ready for adoption.

If they are not in my etsy shop, that means they sold out.

Have a happy Sunday!

Big eye Kitty cat

This week I painted another painting...a big eye kitty cat...

Inspired by the big eye movie.  I drew one like it before but it was really small....

 this one is a 16 x 20.

I want to share the process.....

I started with old papers covering my canvas...I used a matte medium to do this.  Then I added some white gesso here and there.

 Then drew in pencil a basic drawing of my idea.

Then I started with kitty's face....big dark circles for the eyes.

It looks ugly ...but it is all about layering paint.

The face is now starting to come together...I like outlining her face in blue.

I  have blended the face in better...smoothing it out.

Now to add the flower and heart in her pocket.

It looks human like too.

More colors and letting the papers in the back come through.

Lots more paint ....stamping, scribbles and more.

Whiskers!

Sweet and simple...and finished.

She is more vibrant in person and her eyes seem to compel you to see inside them.

We, my daughter and I, got our brochures back from the printers....in time for spring quilt market in Portland.

We are very happy with them.

We both designed our own...in adobe illustrator

Forgive the shine reflection my camera took...they look amazing in person

It was pretty easy to use vista print for these.

My daughter's has a cool wood background.

You can't fit everything in a brochure, but all the latest and most popular are here.

I can't wait to be at market...if you are attending...we are in booth #1227.
