Published!

Summer is already half over!  The seasons always dash by so quickly, but especially so when I'm working on fall/Halloween/Christmas art in the summer! 

The coming of fall also means the much anticipated autumn issue of Art Doll Quarterly is on its way.  This is always my favorite issue of the magazine.  This year is no exception, and I'm especially pleased because FOUR of my Halloween art dolls made it into this issue!  I'm so thrilled!! 

Here is the cover, with a wonderful Day of the Dead Bride doll by Sylvia Smiser:

 

 

And here are the TWO PAGES that feature my dolls in the Show and Tell Gallery:

 

 

 

 

 

 

So perhaps I spoiled the surprise of seeing my work first-hand in the magazine, but you should still go pick up a copy for yourself.  There are so many wonderful artists represented, including some of my favorites:

 

LeeAnn Kress of Charmed Confections

Marguerite Noschese of My Witchy Women

Carly Smith of Boggy Bottom Bayou

Amy Beeler of The Enchanted Doodler

Robert Eberz of Grimm Grinz Studio

Scott Smith of Rucus Studio

 

Art Doll Quarterly will be available on newsstands August 1st.  You can find it at Barnes and Noble and Joanns Fabric and Crafts.  I think Michaels carries it, too.  Or you can order a copy online at https://stampington.com/art-doll-quarterly/Art-Doll-Quarterly-Autumn-2015

 

I hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Sharing Some Blog Love

Something different here today.  I didn't do a Friday Favorites last week.  So maybe this could sort of replace that??  I want to share my new friend LeeAnn's blog. 

LeeAnn of Charmed Confections is a wonderful artist who creates fabulous Halloween art from paperclay.  She is a fellow member of Pfatt Marketplace, and also an artist on Spookytime Jingles.  She has an etsy shop, a facebook page, and a delightful blog.  I'm happy to call her my new friend, even though I have never really met her!  The beauty of the internet!  Oh, she also has five of her wonderful Halloween creations featured in the current issue of Art Doll Quarterly. 

So, anyway....LeeAnn is celebrating one year of blogging.  In honor of that, she is hosting a fabulous giveaway on her blog.  Three lucky readers will win one of her wonderful pieces of art. 

First prize will be a Ghastly Ghost similar to one of these: 

    

 

(These four darlings are already sold....she will make another one just for you!)



Two more lucky ducks will win a set of these cute cupcake ornaments!




To get the details on how to enter, hop on over to Charmed Confections and check it out. 

I hope you will all join me in congratulating LeeAnn on her first year of blogging!  (Don't forget to mention I sent you there! LOL!)

Have a great day, and good luck with her giveaway!
