New Year New Ventures

It's been a long time since I posted and I must apologize. I've been incredibly busy with new designs.  With spring in mind, I've designed several rabbits that stand by themselves..3 are shown in the photo on the left. I've listed some on my website and in my new ETSY shop LucysLazyDayzFolkArt. There are more coming soon as well as new bears, something I haven't make in a really long time.
I've also been experimenting with needle felted sheep..photos coming soon. I just wanted to let you know I haven't disappeared, I've just been super busy with the holidays and the end of the year bookwork as well as the new designs.

Witches, witches and more witches

Meet Delude! Isn't she the best? I wanted to experiment and play with things I've never done before so I attempted the scariest thing ever..........After I sculpted, stained and dried the doll;  I painted her "skin" white and then painted and drew her facial features. No room for error her..........you can't successfully erase it so I'm so pleased and excited with the results I had to show them off!  She's listed on my website under Halloween (of course) but also at the Lemon Poppyseeds Halloween shoppes.

Busy Busy

I'm busy as ever creating new Halloween items for my webstores as well as the shops where I consign. I have to show you 2 of my new designs. The first is this awesome pumpkin witch. the head has ribbed segments just like the real thing. The hat is wired and poseable. The base is wood, not a candlestick but my own creation made from a table leg and other wood pieces. The one on the right has a burlap scarecrow hat with a crow nested in the florals. They're so much fun to do and I keep designing new versions. Check my website because I keep adding more. 

Sylvanie Synester - 53 Inch tall witch

Isn't this witch awesome? She's made of muslin and she's 53+ inches tall. The hat is wired and can be pulled up higher. I added "ragg" to the bottom of her body so she sits really well. I also put a hanging loop on the back of her hat so she can "stand".  I needle sculpted her nose and lips. I wish the black lips didn't resemble a mustache...next time I think I'll make them either green or a dark purple-red. The hat band is black nylon net with polka dots woven in. There's also a wild turkey feather in the hatband. She has shank buttons down the front of the bodice as well as on the 6" long cuffs on her sleeves. I couldn't resist giving her a nice splashy ring and of course it seemed necessary to "paint" her fingernails black too. Did I mention her fingers are wired so they're poseable? Her hair is nice curly wool. You can't see her shoes but they have high heels and black half ball buttons up the outside of each shoe.  Oh yes, her pantaloons are a dingy gray...no white on this lovely lady.

BUTTON BUTTON, WHO NEEDS A BUTTON?

Do you need buttons? I've listed a lot of over 7 pounds of buttons on ebay with $10.70 flat rate shipping.

These are buttons I decided I probably wouldn't use--I seem to use the same styles and colors over and over. This is part of my stash, my mom's stash, my Grandma's stash and gifts from neighbors and friends.
