Drawings from pre-made color palettes: Happy Harvest

I love Design Seeds,

everyday they come out with a new color palette...

so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing from the color palettes

during the week.

Today's palette is Pie Tones:

and here's the image I made:

A little bit fall, a little bit Halloween :)

The image above is a web quality png,
please feel free to use it

for web purposes,

but let me know if you do...

(just cause I'd like to see how you use it :) )

Ghoultide Gathering 2013

Waaaay back in 2009 I went to an event called

Ghoultide Gathering...

and I had a TERRIBLE time.

The venue was too small,

and the ladies who were there to buy stuff were rude as HECK.

Pushing, pulling, jabbing...

both my Mom and I got pushed (literally) out of the way

on several occasions, 

and had things actually snatched from our hands.

It was shocking... and awful...

and I wrote to the folks who organized it and told them our experience,

and said we wouldn't be returning unless they,

at the very least,

got a bigger venue.

Well... at some point they did...

but I still wasn't ready to go back...

until this year!!

I have to say, the 2013 Ghoultide Gathering

was a COMPLETELY different experience.

It was AWESOME. :)

One of the most revered artists there was Scott Smith

of Rucus Studio (he's also one of the organizers)

His stuff was amazing, and almost completely sold out just 15 minutes after the show opened.

I had taken my little Neemo, Samantha,

the first Neemo I ever bought, and one of the Witches of the Majokko Shop

with me, and she had a blast!

Here are some of our pictures!

Can you spot Samantha in the picture above? XD

Can you spot her again?!

Another zombie bear and better pictures!

Well... it seems the zombies are coming! Here is my latest little zombie... I'm still debating on whether to give him a lolling tongue or not.His fabric has holes in it... so it looks like he's rotting away! I've needlefelted the stuffing into those holes, so he won't *really* ooze bear guts, but I think it's pretty amusing anyways. :)

And here are some better pictures of the brown bear... who got shorted when I had to use my phone to take pics of him. Poor little guy!

Zombie Bear!!!

Here is another of my Needle felted army... there will be one other zombie bear as well... I've had fun with these guys! (there are a lot more normal needle felted bears like the grey one I showed a few posts ago... but with Halloween closing in... I just couldn't resist!!) Oh, and yes, he stands on one foot on his own, lol... he's quite the happy zombie!

Come In, Come In!

(Please Click on the Images to See them Larger!)

A Magical Party has just begun! Come In, Come In!

Beware! Beware! The Witch is Abroad, it's not safe out there, Come In!

The Night is Filled with Terror and Wonder... History and Magic... Come In!

The Dark, Murky Woods are Teaming with Evil, Come In!


Bones lie Abandon, Covered in Dirt. The Ghosts of the Dead will Haunt Them! Come In!

Inside it is Safe, Warm and Inviting... We have a Cat, Spooky, but he isn't Frightening. Come In!


It will be Fun and Exciting, Thrilling and Delighting... and the Raven will have the Last Word. Come In!

When this Party will End, you'll have made Many New Friends... but Before you Leave, Help Yourself to some Treats... if you Dare!
Come In!!



Thank you, to A Fanciful Twist, for hosting this FANTASTIC Halloween Party!
I apologize for being a day early! I had an unexpected trip pop up... but I wasn't about to miss out on Halloween fun!

I will be checking out everyone else's party when I get back in town on Sunday!

~ Give Away ~

As a party treat, I will be giving away one spooky pin (the winner can choose from my etsy site):

You can leave an entry post until October 23rd, when I will be choosing a winner!

Happy Partying!

A busy day!

I also wanted to share two new artworks, one stuffed, one illustrated!

Ok, the illustrated one first, it's my first scribbling on an ACEO card:

Next is Pumpkin, he's quite the little character!

He can hang upside down...

He can show you his wings!

He can hide from you...


Or not!


He isn't shy...


But sometimes he's confused.

He can sit up...

Or stand up...

But sometimes he falls down!

What is there to do... but get back up again!!
