Happy Birthday Poe!

January 19th marked the 202nd birthday for Edgar Allan Poe....best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre.

The eBay group Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea is having a POE Challenge to celebrate Edgar's Birthday!

Below is the "Happy Birthday Poe" Mixed Media hang tag/ornament that I made for this special occasion.

Just click on the picture to go to the eBay Auction.....

I made this hang tag from a coffee dyed tag, painted it black and distressed it to make it look old. I added the finely detailed portrait print, hand stitching and a touch of whimsy in his party hat and baloon that were made from the pages of an early 1900's book.

To see the other Poe creations that were made for this challenge, simply stop by the PFATT  BLOG.

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.

Halloween Give It Forward Clock....

Last year I was the lucky recipient of this adorable Halloween clock hand painted by Artist Terrye French of Thepaintedpearbasket! She posted this clock on her blog and my name was drawn to be the keeper of this clock for one year. Now....it is my turn to Give It Forward!

This little clock has a secret compartment in the top that will have a hidden treasure that will be yours to keep. When it is your turn to Give It Forward, you may keep the little treasure and replace it with something of yours.


The bottom of the clock also opens to reveal another compartment in which there is a scroll that Terrye signed and now it is my turn to sign the scroll before I Give It Forward.


You have from now until 12:00 midnight PDT to leave a comment here for me about your favorite thing about Halloween or a Halloween memory of yours.

Good Luck Everyone! Tell your friends to hurry and sign up and if you are a lucky little ghost or goblin....next year will be your turn to give this Halloween clock forward!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
