Original Halloween Doll

Thought I would add a few lines as to what I have been up to. Halloween Dolls. Totally hand sculpted one of a kind creatures, (I mean creations). They are so fun and I am really pleased with them. I should have the first one completed in a few days.

Looking forward to fall/winter, it is to hot to do much of anything outside. Will try not to grump about the cold lol.

I will post pics of the dolls as I complete them.

Izannah Walker quilt is finished


Yes I finished the Izannah Walker doll quilt and will be putting it on ebay tonight with another Birdman painting. He is my favorite to paint. He is always so busy building homes for his little feather friends.


Now I am back to sculpting and starting work on Halloween Dolls. Time flies when we have fun and the older we get lol. I think Halloween is my holiday of choice and have been thinking about going year around making scary, ghostly spooky Dolls.

I would like to really focus on one media and doll making really sparks my creativity, and I am able to use all the medias I like, sculpting, painting, sewing.

Hopefully will have some new pics to up load tomorrow of the quilt.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Pretty much got the etsy shop up and running and got everything linked together. Thanks to my son whom is very good at this sort of stuff.

I have been spending time working on a couple art quilts and trying to get them ready to either go up on ebay or put them on etsy. not sure what way to go.

One quilt is a Izannah Walker doll inspiration and the other is a folk art country.

I am also contemplating putting together pattern packs for the some of the quilts I do.
I am a paint, fabric junkie lol.

Well this is shot but still getting use to this blogging (Dear Diary) hummmm

My First Blog

Being totally new to blogging this should be an adventure in itself.

I am a self taught artist and I've been selling my art on Ebay since 99. I'm mainly a painter and enjoy painting Black Folk Art, Mexican Folk Art, actually I love to paint and will paint what I fancy at the time. Dogs, cats, cows, chickens. lol
So once I figure out what am doing will show pics of the art I am working on.

I have a lot going on now. I'm putting the finishing touches on my Etsy shop. I have decided to offer high quality canvas prints of my original paintings. Below is one I am offering now at a lower price to celebrate its opening.

I also sell original one of a kind paintings on ebay and my etsy shop.

Here is a link to etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/AFolkArtGal

Here's my ebay link: http://shop.ebay.com/surfnmom/m.html?_fln=1&_ipg=25

Wow I think I just did my first blog. Hopefully I will be able to get organized and have a easy lay out. I like easy.
