Coffin Critterz - Matilta - the Mud Swamp Witch

One of the best parts of being an Artist is making cool gifties for my friends and family.  Luckily for me, they like my dash of dark art, so it makes it easy to concoct cool critterz for them.  This afternoon I finished Matilda the Mud Swamp Witch for one of my friends.  She's one of my Coffin Critterz.  She can lay in her coffin on a shelf or hang.  I love creepy Coffin Critterz for the Christmas Tree too.  Say that fast 10x.  :0)

Art Dolls Only

What a great day, opened my mail today to find that my membership application to Art Dolls Only had been accepted and I am now a member!  I have been following this group for some time now, it's members are some of the best Art Doll Artists out there. It is an honor for me to have been accepted and I feel like my work is somehow validated for it.  On cloud nine!  :0)
 

Now available for purchase in my Etsy Shop

 

He just didn't seem quite finished to me so I amped him up a bit.

 

I added leather and metal clasps to the back of his straight jacket and sewed in a leather collar which I must say I love so much more. 

He is now officially complete and ready for purchase!

Completely Insane

Well I'm back home in my studio and it was time to complete my One of a Kind Insane Art Doll.  I started him right before I left for my trip. 

 

 

 

A few more finishing touches and a photo shoot with natural light and he will be available in my Etsy Shop on Friday.

 

Coffin Critterz

Visiting with my folks in Florida the past week I took a trip to Michael's Craft Store and picked these little wooden coffins up.  They were just too cute to pass up.

 

 

 

 

I couldnt wait to get home and sculpt some critters for them so I also picked up some clay and paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

At home I'll construct the bodies for these little guy's.  I think they are coming out so cute!
