All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up!


Petal graciously consented to be my model the other night. Truth be told, she's a bit of a ham and it didn't take much convincing for her to sit still. 
Though I could tell by the way she was eyeing the dress I was knitting for the new bunny she had an ulterior motive. 


Silly Petal, you're perfect just the way you are.

Trick or Treat!

Frankenbunny, Iggy leads the way yelling, "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" 
Petal says,"Yeah!" 
Esmeralda wonders if her siblings might be a tad over zealous and grips her getaway broom with one hand,
and Petal with the other.
All's well that ends well. Have a safe and happy Halloween from the bunniest Halloweeners ever!

Carving Pumpkins

Everybody needs a little helping hand once in awhile.
Iggy's talent lies in carving pumpkins with a butter knife.
Esmeralda excels in spider therapy.
Petal believes in Bunnerflies and smarties.
Everybody say cheezies. 
Happiness is a warm bunny. 
Bye for now.

Trick or Treat !

Here's to Esmeralda, the best dressed witch in the village. 
It's time to go hunting,
On Halloween night,
For witches and ghosties,
To give you a fright.

Just Fooling Around

Evening Sky under texture.
Trying some new photography techniques on for size.
Cornflowers from my yard using one of Kim's black textures.
I used Kim Klassen's instructions. I really love how they turned out. 
Especially my little Maid Marian Bunny.

Happy Halloween

Building bunnies and banners.
  I'm feeling Halloweenie and pushing to finish my projects before it's all over and time to squeeze out something for Christmas. Here's a peek at the dress I'm making for pretty Esmeralda, my little witch bunny.
 I used about 15 colours to make the candy corns in the Happy Halloween banner for a bunny photo shoot. My husband, David made a bunch of mini ghosties tied on a string to hang in their cute little bunny window. He also made the window, and a kitchen table to put under it!
Here's a closeup. 
I also bought a beautiful Chinese Lantern plant to put outside my front door.
I just love these tiny lanterns. They're going to come in very handy for painting my greeting card, Esmeralda and the Spooky Boo. She's running under a big branch of them in the drawing. The owl in the corner wearing a sheet and saying Boooo instead of Whoooo, is the spooky boo. 
Just a handful of some of the colours I'll be using. I know I'm pushing it trying to have the card ready for Halloween but this is really a warm up for the book cover, Tale of the Black Mamba. And the candy corn banner was a warm up for this card. I get so jittery when I'm starting a new painting. 
 Here's a beautiful picture my youngest daughter, Daphne took with her iphone while she was shopping. So colourful. That's some kind of phone!
