Ok here is the article...thanks to my little friend, Christine from www.dubuhdudesigns.typepad.com she scanned my article for me to show to all of you out there...Boy, how exciting and wonderful it is to finally get the chance to be published! I'll be busy in the studio creating more Eclectic Beings for the magazine and hopefully soon, I'll be posting them in my etsy shop, http://www.crowhavenfarm.etsy.com/ shortly.

Be well and have a wonderful, joyous weekend...until next time!

Cheers!

I'M IN ART DOLL QUARTERLY, WINTER 2009 ISSUE...HIP HIP HOORAY!

JUST AMAZING NEWS... I got home the other night and opened up a letter from Art Doll QUARTERLY and YES.....I'm in the WINTER 2009 ISSUE!

Needless to say I was jumping up and down and I couldn't stop say...oh my gosh, oh my gosh.... I'm in the magazine. My Eclectic Beings are making their appearance in the pages of this wonderful magazine. I can't wait to see the article and how they photographed my Eclectic Beings... Ebs... I hope you all run out and get your copy! Let me know what you think.

I've been so busy lately with my day job (Law). We are having construction done and the office painted, so I've been packing up the office for the past two weeks and now it's over...well...for the time being. Our office is closing for two days so hopefully during those two days I'll have off, I'll be able to spend all of that time in my studio. Here are some pictures of what I've been working on and toying with new techniques and some pics of my studio:

Canvas work that I've been playing with. I recently purchased Kelly Rae Roberts new book! She gives you and shows you numerous techniques which are absolutely wonderful. I love how these backgrounds are taking shape! The key is in the layers. Layers of papers, Layers of paint.... wait til you try it.... you'll love the effect it will give to your backgrounds!I would love to take one of her workshops! Kelly, you need to have a workshop over here on the EAST Coast!!!!! LOL

Here are some custom orders I'm working on for Christmas. Get your orders in soon.... Christmas will be here before you know it. Yesterday, Mt. Pocono got hit with 16 inches of snow...ALREADY...and it's not even November yet!

What's that on the T.V... could that be the Golden Girls?

I love working with Golden Products... my only wish is that they would bring down their prices a bit! LOL

I moved my Eb tree into my studio. My beautiful and talented sister-in-law made this for me on day that I really needed cheering up! God Bless Her! I'm very lucky to have a sister-in-law that I adore! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.... I'm finishing up here at work...hehehe, and heading home to be in my studio for the next 4 days... I sure hope my husband sends some food under the door for me! LOL

Before I leave...I also just found out that Christine from dubuhdudesigns.typepad.com is in Art Doll Quarterly as well.... here is view of her amazing dolls and article...I'm hoping that I am able to get one of her dolls as my Christmas present...when she puts them in her esty shop...you have to be fast! Congrats.... CHRISTINE!

Cheers!

Hello everyone...I'm sorry that I have been missing in action for the past few weeks. I've been trying to get my house organized and get it ready for the Holiday Festivities (HALLOWEEN). I wanted to attend www.afancifultwist.typepad.com (Vanessa's Halloween Party), but I do not have the Internet anymore at my house. It was great looking through all of your blogs to see how everyone was spending their time during the party! Cheers to all of you! All of your blogs were absolutely FABULOUS!
