Happy Halloween

How long has it been since you have carved a pumpkin?  For us it had been a l-o-n-g time.  So when we were invited to a pumpkin carving party...well, we had to do one ahead of time to be prepared.

I always wanted a fancy cut out.  We bought one of those kits with patterns

and various knives, scrapers, drills.  Surprisingly all of these little plastic tools worked good.


We ended up with fun pumpkins to display.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Animal Wednesday - Mummy Cat

Leave it to National Geographic to have something out of the ordinary for halloween entertainment without even mentioning that it is Halloween.  In their November publication that comes in October there is an article about mummified animals.  I thought it was quite interesting.  Here is my rendition of a mummified cat. It is done with micron pens. Happy Animal Wednesday.

Blooming Tuesday - Dried flowers

Today I am showing you part of the page I did for Suki's book.  You see there are 9 of us artists doing a book for each.  We pass them along so each can do a page for each book.  Am I clear?? Probably not so you can go to the Artysoulsisters Blog where you can see what I mean.  Happy Blooming Tuesday.
