Ghoulie Gift

I wanted to take this time to show off something that my talented sister made for me. My sister is a self-taught knitter, but she also creates a multitude of other impressive crafts revolving around yarn.

So now I'll show off her skills. Knowing how much I love Halloween, my sister created this for me:

This awesome haunted house is meant to be used as a festive tissue box cover, but so far I've just been using it as my centerpiece Halloween decoration. I've grown so fond of it that I'm not sure I'll have the ability to stow it away once Halloween is over. I plan on taking more, better pictures of it soon so that I can show it off in all of its infinite glory. There are so many details my sister was able to incorporate, including ghosts, bats, spiders and webs, and even window shutters that actually open and close!

As for my own artwork, things have been especially busy these last few days. However, I plan on finishing my next animal nursery art piece tomorrow, and I'll post it as soon as I finish. After that I have a couple more pieces planned, but it's still a toss up which one I'll start next.

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Halloween Howls

In case you didn't get the memo from my previous post, I am a Halloween fanatic. What's more, I realized I have not yet shared on this blog one of my favorite older works of mine (older as in it was completed two years ago). This particular piece more or less falls in line with the upcoming Halloween holiday, so I figured now is a good time to share it with you here.

"Howl" (with watermark added for security measures)

 
I call this piece "Howl". I hand drew it with graphite pencils, and I had a lot of fun doing so. I haven't done a whole lot of graphite pencil drawings lately, as I've been really enjoying creating drawings and illustrations (including my ongoing animal nursery art series) with my colorful array of pens. However, every time I see this piece I remember how much I enjoyed creating it and remind myself that I need to get around to doing more pencil drawings.

If I get around to doing any more Halloween-inspired drawings this year I'll post them here. In the meantime, have fun gearing up for Halloween!

The Great Pumpkin

Halloween is one of my two most favorite holidays, and it's just around the corner! In celebration of its impending arrival, here's a Halloween drawing I very recently created:

I love cats (yes, including black cats!) and I love carving jack-o'-lanterns. Bats I don't like so much, but they fit the concept of this piece so they got to be included.

I hope to have time to create a couple more Halloween-inspired pieces before the spooky holiday arrives. While planning out these hopeful Halloween pieces I will also be planning my jack-'o-lantern design for this year as well as watching plenty of scary movies.
