Quick Update

Hello All!

So glad to have you here again!  I've been keeping busy, busy, busy!
This is my favorite time of year.....and my mind won't stop swimming with new ideas....and my to do list grows perpetually longer :D

Here are some things that have crossed my work desk lately.

 

2 more mermaids in progress.  I've been getting some wonderful pieces from talented ladies who have signed up for my Mermaid Swap.  There is still another week to get those mermaids in the mail! 

 

I will do a huge post at the close of it to show off all the lovely things that are now mine, all mine....mwuahaha!

 

Hmmmmm.....these look interesting!

 

All the brown is pigment ink from hand aging a million witchy jar labels for my shop.  You can see them there in the photo below.

 

 

There also sits a little black lump.

 

I had an old empty spool and wondered what it would look like if I added a head and threw some clay over it all.  I think he turned out quite nicely :)

 

 

I just love making black cats.  I've made some before, if you remember....and I'm sure there will be more in my future ;P

 

 

...and what of those weird golf tee looking things from before?

 

Well, they became these!

 

 

 

 For the discerning Collector to enhance their Cabinet of Curiousities!

 

These items are sitting on the shelves of my humble shop.

 

Thank you so much to all of you who come back here again and again to visit with me! 

 Having you as my peers and friends makes doing what I do so much richer...

.....and a whole lot more fun!

 

Candy corn kisses,

Cam

Blood Related

There is an old, dilapidated house on the hill....you know the one everyone walks quickly by. 
The stories say that once, a beautiful, young widow lived there. Her husband perished from a strange illness....as did the entire house staff. Townsfolk paid their respects, but when the "illness" began to claim them, as well, the poor widow was locked in the house from the outside. Lest the whole town succumb to her disease.

In honor of Butterfly Effect's Vampire theme this week,
I ventured to capture her likeness.....

This is "The Mistress of the House"

Layers of acrylic paint, prismacolor pencil and ink were used to create her portrait.  Though her features are based on vague descriptions from historical documents and scared recollections of the most elder members of town, I'm told I got her delicate neck and high cheekbones just right. :o)

Painted on a vintage oval canvas...she is currently in my shop where she lies in wait.....heeheeeheee!

When I first started painting, I started with watercolors.  Of course, my love for the macabre was not safe in this medium either :)

Moments after feeding, this Vampire Vixen manages to keep her dress unmarred, but wipes her mouth with the back of her hand...
"Forgot a napkin again," she muses.

I painted her in 2009 and thought she was, perhaps, too bloody for the fare I usually offer in my Etsy store.

But, since the Mistress moved in, I listed this Vamp, as well, to be her neighbor :)

I enjoyed sharing these beautiful, but deadly, creatures with you.  Won't you join in this week for some bloody good fun? ;P

Fangs for stopping by,
