Sacred Laughter

Two #batcat on the stands and two #vintagehalloween cats. The kittybats are on the stands I provide if wanted for collectors who like to display my work instead of wear them. They also find lots of ways to display them which I love to hear about. I think of them as little paintings anyways, I'm just faking it as a jewelry maker 😂 I painted these especially for @halloweenandvine two weeks to go I'm so excited!

Here's my morning tea ATC and also I realized it satisfies the #sisterswithheartinart for circles😃 I love #penandink and this is what came from my #rotring pen today

There is a sculpture of The Greek god of fire, Hephaestus at the hirshorn museum in Washington, D.C. That has haunted me for years. He is lame, but still powerful wielding a hammer rivaling the mighty Thor's. He is the patron God of crafts. He also had a difficult childhood he survived. My morning tea ATC done with #irojiten #coloredpencil on this paper I couldn't resist from #fabriano I think they are supposed to be used for business cards.

I finally remembered to try painting a vintage style #halloween #batcat. I can't stop laughing when I look at it. It needs its coat still, and then it will be ready for @halloweenandvine good be so much fun! September 24th in #petaluma

When I am in painting mode the world goes away. I don't even realize time is going by. In the back of my mind somewhere paperwork and watering plants lurk. When I find myself gazing off into space I realize I am too tired to go on and I really want to watch tv.😃 here's four of the bunch I painted today, now for the coating #decorative #wearableart #acrylicpainting #pin #earrings #art #berkeley #california #popsurrealism #lowbrow #crafts

Hey the headless horsewoman came out better than I thought it would 😃 #WIP #acrylicpainting this for @halloweenandvine September 24th #petaluma #pin

There seems to have been a fairycide today during a glittering session. I was only gone 2 minutes. I suspect Tink's mob of baddies.

Gonna try to make a couple of these #bat necklaces for @halloweenandvine thats gold wirewrapped spinel with a precious #lucite #bat painted by yours truly. modeled here by the inimitable @chantalbuck

Ok finally got it together to participate in @llwlyn #dogust here are seven of my recently completed #wearable #puppy #dog. I am trying to get things up on #etsy but it's so hard! Tomorrow or bust! 😃😜#lasercut

@hedoodles inspired me to post a selfie which is also hard for me to do as well. I am tall but since I am always at home I feel like a bit of a gnome and how does paint end up on every piece of clothing I own? And how does it get on my shoulder?

Yay! Finished a commission I got back in June! I always find it hard when the client wants very specific things in a painting. How will I stay true to myself? What if I forget something? I didn't like it until I used some #coloredpencil Yay for colored pencils! It's a painting for a niece with aunt and cousins as owls. She was born close to vauverges picassos last studio #watercolor

Also have susana's pegsnailcorn ready for the high tech part of #sacredlaughter into the computer cauldron you! #lasercut

Working on new shapes for #halloweenandvine gonna make some @twiztedkitt3n souls in a jar as well. Now Into the computer you guys! #lasercut #headlesshorseman

Here's the ones pic I took at #pasadenabeadanddesignshow the lovely @beroyajdesigns Iman wearing the swan lake pin. The next day she wore it on a dark blue, it was stunning.

#puck or #robingoodfellow for day 31 the last day of the #shadowheartchallenge midsummer night's dream. I was interested to learn that Puck is not Shakespeare's invention but much older and that he would do domestic chores to help out as well (I almost had him doing some ironing) It's been an amazing month of hard creative work and such joyful and eye opening work from my fellow challengers, I've enjoyed by every moment. Thank you so much #shadowheartcollective for hosting.

Good morning! Kitchen #imp At your service😜 day 29 #shadowheartchallenge

"Think no more of this night's accidents but as the fierce vexations of a dream." - Oberon midsummer nights dream. I read up on the play, and apparently Oberon changed the four lovers memories into dreams as a way of fixing things. So here's my #shadowheartchallenge for King, Memory and Runaway hearts which are the four vessels Lysander, Demetrius, Helena and Hermia.
