Come One, Come All To The Halloween Ball.........


I'd like to introduce the newest members of the Sweet Cupcake Topper Collection:

-The Halloween Follies
-The Pumpkin Kings
-Mr.Moon

Each topper is made from either clay or vintage foam balls, extra large picks, paints and embellishments. These new toppers have brought some extra magic to my studio this season. They are a bit of prim, bit of fancy and sweet, a bit dapper and regal, perhaps magical to those who believe.




I will have these toppers available tonight in my Etsy store, and some are available now at Piddlestixs!

Hope you enjoy,
Magic and Joy,
Lisa!

New Prim Glitter Illustrations!I have been working on a new series of paintings which I refer to: mixed media glitter prim! These paintings start on masonite board and are layered with either vintage piano paper, vintage receipts or scrapbook paper.Then I hand draw an illustration onto it using a pencil, then re-lined w/a darker charcol pencil, painted, re-outlined, glazed, glittered and re-glazed.In this picture I was inspired by Elizabeth Gordon's Butterfly Babies Book from the 1920's. I created a piece with cupcake chic colors, some brights, grunge and light distressing. I call her: Miss Marcy Moonfaires, whose a fairy from Starlight Gardens just outside Illuminaria City. Marcy is on her way to the Annual Butterfly Masquerade Ball held at the Beverly Wistica Conservatory at 7pm til Midnight, when the Celestial Sprites of Havenwood set off the midnight fireworks and special light show....
The next painting in this series is The Halloween Carnival! In this picture you will meet two girls named Lilly and Darcy, come join them as they enter the magical Halloween Carnival located on the grounds of Pennywicke Farms in Hollow Bridge. This year Lilly went as a Carnvial Wizard and Darcy as The Pumpkin Hatter, she is a huge fan of Wonderland and Halloween, so she mixed the two themes together. This year the Halloween Carnival will have a surprise Candy Land Parade which will start off with the dragonfly light show w/music by the Spider String Quartet!

This Painting I was inspired by a bit of folk art/country, mixed w/distressed prim and pastels, I call this one: Hollows Eve Costume Party!
Everything can happen on Hallow's Eve...That's why Maude and Tabitha are going together to the Hallow's Eve Costume Party at Waverly Hall. Rumors have it, that Waverly Hall is haunted by several ghosts, the most popular are Sophie Carlisle, a socialite whose family owned the property for 200 years and Percy the Wizard, who owned the land before the Carlisle's, his Wizarding family had it for nearly three centuries before losing it to Mr. Toliver Carlisle in a debt, or that's what legend has it. Rumor also states that Percy's family went into hiding as the Carlisle's...

Stay tuned for the tutorial and supply list on the art glitter blog this week http://artglitterblog.blogspot.com/

Candyland Court, Tea Time with Pageant Queen and Fiji Mermaid!Post Six

Do you smell that?, its the smell of Cotton Candy, Fried Dough and Kettle Corn, laced with the sweet fragrance of Jelly Apples, Roated Nuts and Coconut and Penny Dogs, so delicious. I just couldn't resist buying a bag of Cotton Candy puffs from Lara's Sweets on my way to tea.


I wonder where it is?...Oh, now I see it, just follow the signs and the sugar sticks to that glorious and humongous Tea Pot, it must be nearly 10 feet tall and wide.
"Oh, Sage, look at all those sweet and edible jewels and dazzling stars, I also see all of the Soiree Attendees are here, finding their seats and exploring their goodie bags!"



And here she is The Glorious Fiji Mermaid, Zoe! I just had to take loads of pictures of her and her carnival-esque tea outfit!
