Welcome to the 1^st Annual Giggleswick
Halloween Blog Hop!

Starting Friday, Sept. 13^th – Saturday, Sept. 21^st

All 13 lucky Winners will be announced

on each of the participating blogsites on
 Wednesday, Sept. 25^th!

 Welcome to A Piece of Lisa!  I'm so glad you are here!!
 
I'm Lisa Ammerman, and I am the artist here at A Piece of Lisa. I am so thrilled to be among all these talented witches on the Giggleswick Blog Hop!

 I create whimsical, one-of-a-kind art dolls and figurines for all seasons.  But my favorite holiday to create for is Halloween, because anything goes!!  I can let my imagination run away with me.  Yes, I do the 'traditional' stuff like witches, Frankenstein, and Dracula.  But I also like to create pieces that are a little more off beat and unusual.  Like this funky little jack o-lantern.

 

 

JUST JACK with a Bat is the prize I am offering to one lucky follower of this blog hop!  He is sculpted from polymer clay and wears a wool felt wizard's hat.  A glittered foam bat soars above him on thin black wire.  He is a signed and dated original work of art.
 
Wouldn't you love to win him??  Make sure you follow all the steps below in order to be eligible to win!  Good luck!!

Best Witches to you!  The Witches of Giggleswick 

Green Goblins and a Welcome!

Welcome to all my new followers that have signed on with the blog hop!  I'm so glad to have you here! 

Today I'm going to show you a couple more reasons why I love making Halloween characters the best.  You can make ANYTHING.  I let my imagination run away with me, and I know that anything I come up with is fair game. Has anybody really seen a goblin?  Do we really know what they look like?  Perhaps they look like this:

Goblin Treats

Goblin Candy

 

These two scary green monsters just want to go trick or treating.  They don't understand why everyone runs screaming when they see them!  Luckily, they have been able to scoop up some candy corn that was left behind.  They LOVE candy corn!

 

Both of these frightful fellows are available right now in my etsy shop, A Piece of Lisa.  I've recently listed a whole bunch of new Halloween Spooks.  You might want to go have a look around.

 

And for those of you who haven't yet joined in on the blog hop, you really need to get started!  Please go to this post and get the details on how to enter.  Thirteen wonderful Halloween artists--the Witches of Giggleswick, as we like to call ourselves-- have banded together, offering some really great prizes.  There will be 13 lucky winners!  It can't be you if you don't enter!! 

 

This is the adorable jack o-lantern that I am offering to one lucky follower.  But you have to ENTER to win! 

Have a great day, and enjoy the hop!!
Lisa

Best Witches to you!  The Witches of Giggleswick 

 

A Gypsy Witch

I've been so busy creating lots of whimsical Halloween characters for the last two months.  I spent a good chunk of the last several days taking pictures, editing pictures, writing etsy listings and putting things  up in A Piece of Lisa.  You really should go have a look around my shop now!  It's full of lots of new things.....and there are still more to come!

All those jobs listed above are my least favorite part of my work.  All I ever want to do is CREATE things, but without the pictures, how would I ever show them off to all of you?  It's a necessary task, so I get it done.

Today I want to show you one of my newest favorites.  I think she gives Clara a run for her money on being my favorite piece.  I would love to keep her too, but I did list her in my etsy shop just this morning. 

This is Clarice.  She is a gypsy.  Some call her a witch.  I think she's a little of both.  I like to think of her as Clara's daughter.  She inherited her ability to see the future.

 

She is dressed like a gypsy for sure, with her floral print skirt and matching head scarf.  She even has a long fringed shawl and jewelry.

 

 

She has very prominent facial features that are accented with hand-painted details....coppery-gold eye shadow, red lipstick, painted on eyebrows. And no gypsy would dream of going without her jewelry!  I found a crystal ball charm for her necklace and though you have to look closely, she is wearing big hoop earrings with a little copper bead.  A Swarovski crystal adorns her scarf.

 

I used another big marble I found on the Junk Jaunt for her crystal ball.  I like how it reflects different things depending on the angle you look at it. 

 

You can find Clarice right here, in my etsy shop.  She certainly is a one of a kind witch!

 

Back to work!  I trust I will see you all here tomorrow, for the beginning of the Giggleswick Blog Hop.  You don't want to miss out!

The other two spooks are listed in my etsy shop, A Piece of Lisa, as well as on Pfatt Marketplace.
