Spring into action

Started this piece well over a year ago.
I'm happy to say that Large Lolli Lou is
finally complete and ready for his close up.

Trying to get ahead...

...but running a bit behind. With best of
intentions one of these characters will be
up for grabs at the end of the month for
the EHAG Emporium blog sale.
Off to work I go!

New Years Celebrations

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair"
Charles Dickens

A fond farewell to 2008.
Wishing you all Peace and Prosperity in 2009.

Halloween is only a few days before Election day.

Support your candidate by carving a Barack-o-Lantern!



Stencils and inspiration are available at Yes We Carve.

Jack-O-Lantern Stencils

One of my favorite Halloween traditions is carving a pumpkin.

A perfectly carved Jack-O-Lantern is the second item on my Halloween list, right after the perfect costume.

Some of my favorite stencils can be found at Zombie Pumpkins. They feature stencil galleries including Tim Burton characters, movie villains (including The Joker), superheroes and other popular Halloween characters.

Get carving!
