Nap Time!

I have a lot of stuff to do and things I WANT to do so when Antonio naps I get to work!! Some days I get two hours to work on art stuff and other days only a half hour if i'm lucky. I am starting to get busy with making dog sculptures and ornaments for Xmas.


I have all these ideas floating around in my head for some cool skirts and i just need some time to get to it. I just ordered a ton of fabric paints, serger thread, and all kinds of cool fabric that are just sitting there teasing me!  
I also had to design a cool poster for Vince's Holiday Party. It just popped in my head the other night to make him a marionette puppet  being controlled by his silverware creations. So once again, instead of doing my sculptures or working on my skirts I took a few hours to make this.

Happy Halloween!

 Happy Halloween everyone!
It was pretty cool to see my giant witch and clown head finished! Benny didn't think he would be able to wear the big clown head, so I made him a quick cardboard mask with sculpey details. It actually turned out creepy and didn't look too cheesy. I think we were heading to our second house when Antonio decided to rip off his clown nose! So Benny had no choice but to wear the giant clown head. Vince carried it(or wore it) until we got to someones door then Benny put it on. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of it!
I was going to make Antonio a bat, but nothing was coming out right and Antonio did NOT want anything to do with trying the costume on so I could adjust it. I got frustrated and gave up! I remembered Benny still had his swamp monster costume in the closet, so that is what Antonio wore. He looked super cute, but didn't want his picture taken.
Antonio loved the trick or treating part. He was a little trooper!
