Happy November! New Art Prints in my ETSY Shop, ETSY SALE, and A Sneak Peak!

Hi everyone and Happy November to you! It seems as though the Holiday decorating lines keep getting more and more blurred. I for one still have my Halloween decor up in my house. 

Over the next two weeks I will be moving my Halloween art pieces back into my art room and clearing the house for Christmas. 

My neighborhood, and town for that matter, seems to be divided in thirds. 

1/3 is still decorated for Halloween

1/3 is already decorated for Christmas

and 1/3 does not have any decorations at all.  

How about you? Where are you in your decorating timeline? 

Well for those of you that collect Halloween all year round or you know someone on your Christmas list that does.  :)  I am having an ETSY SALE this month! 

This is Precious, my last little baby bat and she is on SALE in my ETSY shop

https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnabooCreations

There are 4 originals left in my ETSY shop, Precious the bat pup, is one of them.  They have all been reduced for immediate sale so come see what kind of bargains you find at Anaboo Creations on ETSY. 

I am also now offering high quality art prints at a very reasonable $10.00 in my ETSY shop.

Each Print is signed and will come in an acid free archival cellophane sleeve, ready to be framed. 

I am currently working on a few Christmas ornaments. 

4 of them will go to my PFATT sisters for our annual PFATT Christmas ornament swap and the other 4 or 5 will either be listed as an update in my ETSY shop or for the December issue of the PFATT Marketplace. 

Either way I will keep you informed of where they will be. 

Here is a work in progress photo should you want a sneak peak. 

Yup they are mounted on antique German Christmas Tree candle holders. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Valentine's Day Piece, The Queen of Hearts, Up for Grabs!

For this month's PFATT Marketplace I have created this piece called the Queen of Hearts. There is only one available so if you would like to give yourself or your sweetheart a one of a kind Valentine let me know.  

Many have asked me where I come up with the faces I sculpt.  I find inspiration everywhere.  I go to the mall and watch people.  I look at old advertising images or antique postcards.  I also, collect antique photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s.

This little sweetie was inspired by this vintage image, with an Anaboo Creations twist. Maybe next year I will make him.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Valentines Day 2013!

I'd like you to meet Betty Barn Owl, created for the EHAG/PFATT "Screampunk" Art Challenge.

Hello Friends, I'd like to introduce you to Ms. Betty Barn Owl.  Betty has faced many challenges in her life but she has emerged a survivor with a strong and loyal spirit.

She is my "Screampunk" Art Challenge piece.  This art challenge was created for the members of both PFATT and EHAG art groups.  The challenge was to create a piece that combines Steampunk and Halloween! 

This challenge was so much fun! 

Betty will be available on EBAY starting tonight.  Her auction will end Sunday night. 

I hope you will stop by and read the story of how she became a Magical Owl.

CLICK HERE to go to her auction.

My Inspiration.

Please make sure you look up Screampunk on EBAY and check out the EHAG emporium on the 31st for more challenge pieces by several of my super talented artist friends.

I feel very fortunate to be included as all of the challenge pieces I have seen are amazing! 

Have a wonderful week!

SCREAMPUNK!!!! EHAG & PFATT Combined Challenge

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all doing well and staying busy with what you love.

I have been very busy in the studio lately! This is my next endeavor.  I will be creating a one of a kind Screampunk doll.  

What is Screampunk you ask? Well it's a combination of steampunk (victorian-technology) and Halloween!!! 

What am I making?

 Well, I will give you some hints...it's a SHE.  I have her head sculpted and attached to her body, I have to make WINGS.  Then finish her by painting her and dressing her. Once she is done she will be listed on EBAY the last week of March.  I will post a sneak peak for you once she is done. 

Any Guesses?

Winston O'Lantern a Gentleman Pumpkin

Hello Everyone, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  I am in the greatest of moods because it is beginning to feel, smell, and taste like Fall here in Central Illinois.  

I have been busy creating new art work with Halloween and Day of the Dead in mind.  I also recently found out that Miss Vanessa's Halloween Blog Party will be Oct. 22nd.  All of the details are not ironed out yet but I will keep you posted as I will definitely be participating.  I have already begun working on my GIVEAWAY Piece for this Magical Event!

I have also begun preparations for my yearly pilgrimage to Northville, MI for The Amazing Ghoultide Gathering. It looks like I may be going solo this year but that is OK as I have many Ghoulie friends that will be there.  If you are going please send me a message as I love to meet all my blog land friends. 

Lastly, I also want to introduce you to Mr. Winston O'Lantern.  He is currently available on the PFATT Marketplace for $55.00.

He is a charming chap that would be happy to light up your home for the Fall Holidays.

Have a wonderful Evening my dear friends!

Ms. Beatrice Bunny Eager to help anyway she can.

Hello Everyone,
As I was busy creating Ms. Beatrice Bunny Japan suffered a massive catastrophic event.  It is very difficult to stay focused on creating when so many of our brothers and sisters in Japan are suffering something I cannot even wrap my head around.  The images I have seen are so devastating that clean up and return to any semblance of normalcy feels so daunting.  My heart and prayers go out to everyone in Japan.

As I was listing Beatrice Bunny on EBAY tonight I found that EBAY has a way where you can contribute  part of your sale to Japan's Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. Both Beatrice and I are so happy that we may be able to contribute in a small way. She is always ready to be of service and I would be so thrilled to be a small part in making things a tiny bit better, hopefully, through my art.

Please come visit Ms. Beatrice Bunny on EBAY .  She would love to meet you : )

  

Have a wonderful day!
