Dash

As promised in my previous post I have finished my whimsical cat sculpture.

Meet “Dash”!


I had an absolute ball creating this guy. Even though he isn’t a ginger cat, he’s inspired by our new kitten. I started making him the day after I tried to photograph Pumpkin (aka Toots) running around the yard. All I got were these crazy pictures of flying back legs. So we have Dash, short for Dashing Through the Snow. He’s created in a whimsical folk art style out of paper clay. His base and support are wood and he’s got loads of diamond dust glitter on his snowflake blanket and base. The entire piece measures 14.5″ tall x 12″ wide. I haven’t decided what venue I will sell him on. Right now he’s making me quite happy. If you are interested in purchasing him, please let me know.

I also finished 6 Holiday horse pendants! I’m going to offer them for 2 days on my blog before I put them in my Etsy store. Price is $29 each and that includes first class postage in the US ($2 more for postage abroad). I’ll accept check, money order or paypal. Each pendant is signed, hand painted, comes with a toggle clasp, an approx. 20″ black satin cord, glass accent beads and comes in a velvety drawstring bag. Email me if you want one! jmacneill@hotmail.com First come, first served!

Grim & Thank You!

I finally finished Mr. Grim. I’m so happy with how he turned out! Not sure what to do with him, he looks so nice with the Headless Horseman. I would love to have prints made of the two but I’m not sure how saleable they are. We’ll see, right now they like living with their creator:)

I also wanted to give a big old blog hug to Tracey of Wild Horse Moon and Black Feather Farm. I was lucky enough to win her latest blog giveaway, a gorgeous multimedia necklace with a cool vintage photo of a cowgirl. As soon as I unwrapped it I had to put it on, it’s lovely! For now I’ll hang it on my bedroom mirror so I can look at it every day.

If you’re feeling lucky this month, head over to the PFATT Blog

Doodle

Sometimes it all starts with a doodle. I was talking to a friend on the phone and drawing on a sketchpad when I came up this this Headless Horseman painting.




Ta da!

Martha My Dear,

Your Halloween issue ROCKS! When I heard that this special issue was out on the shelves I rushed to my local bookstore in hopes of securing a copy (like I do every year – it is the best Halloween magazine out there). Little did I know what a tremendous surprise was in store for me when I got there.
I nearly had to be taken out on a stretcher when I saw that on the cover was the most magnificent, spooktacular photograph of you as a ghostly equestrienne with your gorgeous black Friesian Rutger! Oh how I am still swooning over that breathtaking horse! I knew you would eventually see how utterly magical Halloween horses are!
Thank you for showing the rest of the world!

I am also very excited to share a sneak peek of my newest Headless Horseman folk art painting. I will have him up on Ebay tomorrow night although I will have a very hard time parting ways with this piece!

I’m not usually a person that posts a lot of blog awards but Linda at Pyewacketts gave me this cool, witchy award that I think Martha herself would approve of!
