Holiday Happenings on eBay....

I've listed a couple of things on ebay to start of the Holiday Season.

First is this little snowman hang tag ornie made from a paper hang tag and designed using watercolor pencils, mica flakes, tarnished silver glass glitter, twisted rusty wire and a vintage button.

I also listed these little snowman paper mache bell ornies. Both auctions have the Buy It Now option.



Just click on either of the pics to go see their auctions.

Thanks for looking & Happy Holidays!

Snowman Snowflake or Snowflake Snowmen? That is the question!

I listed a couple of these little snowman/snowflake pins/ornies on ebay the other day. These can be hung on the tree as an ornament or taken off the hang tag.....they're a festive pin to wear on your holiday coat! You get double duty from these little cuties. I've added some vintage mica flakes to give them that touch of shimmer like new fallen snow! Sorry the pics don't show the sparkly effect too well.

I hope you will stop by eBay and take a look at their auction..........

A Little Preview...................

.......of things to come. The EHAG (Eclectic Halloween Artist Group) eBay group is having a winter challenge on January 26th. The theme for this challenge is "The Weather Outside is Frightful". What could be more perfect..........no? lol The weather here in Ohio has been pretty frightful this past weekend with a mix of snow, sleet, winds and cold........brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. (Is spring here yet??????????) =o) Below is the piece that I just finished. This candlestick was in our shoppe, brought in by one of our consignment artists, and I had one of those light bulb moments when I saw it! A head could go on top of those knobs on the one side and that could be her arm holding the candle! =o) I hand crocheted her little Halloween scarf and her little hat out of fun fur yarn. Has anyone ever tried to actually crochet with this stuff? You cannot see your stitches at all! It's definitely not for amateur crocheters like me! LOL You just have to try to feel for your stitches amongst all those little furry things......heck, I should have taken my magnifying eyeglasses off to do it, since I couldn't see anything anyhow! hahaha!


So I sat down one night last week and got out the package of paper clay that my good friend JoycEE had her hubby pick up for us. He works in Cuyahoga Falls and there's a Michael's close by, so he's the designated paper clay picker upper............lol (Thanks Murph!) =D

You see, my first experience with paper clay was at the 1st PFATT Fest held in Berlin, OH at the Coblentz Country Cabins. It was taught by my dear friend Christy Meyers of Ccswhimsies. What wonderful memories I still have of that day! All of us sculpted snowman heads that day and they were all taken back home to be finished and listed on eBay. I still to this day wish that I had kept that first snowman............he was sooo cute!


Below is a pic of some of the unfinished heads that we sat in front of the firplace to dry.........


Well, I have since then only sculpted twice. Both were snowmen..........I just can't get past that little carrot nose! My second paper clay sculpt is pictured up above in my banner and below...........


I will make sure that I post the link when the EHAG challenge starts so you all can see the frightfully creative items that all the EHAG artists come up with this month!

Frosty Valentine Sparkles..............

I listed this little girl on EBay this evening. She is now one of my all time favorite tags. These have become so much fun to create........like little miniature works of art.

Click here to see her EBay auction............

.................but something that I finally ordered arrived in the mail today. I wanted them for the Pfatt Tuesday listing but they didn't make it in time. So today they finally made it here.......a box of small 4x4 and 6x6 chunky stretched canvases! And I am intimidated! Afraid to start on one.......I want to make sure that I pick something that won't be too hard and I won't screw up! LOL These cost more than my paper hang tags do.........hahaha! SO now...............I sit back and take a few days to think about what my first one will become. Joyce...................I think you might have to push me to help get me started! LOL OH............and yours are here too and you're gonna LOVE the little 4x4's! We should have ordered a set for each of us!

Dick Blick............we'll be back! Hahahaha!!!!!!!

Snow Angel Valentine Tag ending Tonight.............

I painted this tag last night and I will list it on Ebay tomorrow evening at 9:15. She's a winter valentine snow angel assembled hang tag made with a coffee dyed hang tag, acrylic paints, pages from a vintage 1900's book and real german glass glitter. I hand stitched the hearts on with cream colored quilter's thread and the tiny little stars in the sky too.

I also made the curly rusty wire hanger with the jingle bell to hang it with. I just love making these little assembled tags! Hang them from your winter or valentine feather tree to add a little bit of sparkle this winter/valentine's season. =o)

I'll post her link here when she goes on tomorrow! Thanks for looking at my art!
