How My Aceo's Are Created ;o)

Hi Everyone ;o) Last week, I was making an aceo, to replace one, that got lost in the mail!! Errrrrrrrrr!!! I sent a picture to Deb at Geckostone, showing the aceo in the inbetween stages. Deb said, you put a lot into your aceo's. So, I thought, why not show everyone the process I go through. I usually have 3 paintings going on at once, because I am waiting for the paint to dry inbetween. I am only showing one aceo. As you will see, for my baby crows, it's 4 layers of different colors. Enjoy everyone ;o) Talk soon ;o) This is "For You" ;o)

All Hallow's Grim Blog Party

"Tabatha and Little Witch"

Well, tonight was the night. I decided to go to Old Tabatha's Haunted House. I knew it was Halloween and everyone thought I was crazy, (except for mom).

Weird, but since I turned 13 last month, something was calling me to that house! I had to go!

Even though Tabatha had passed away many years ago, the porch light always came on, every Halloween night.

Up the hill I walked. My heart pounding so loud! As I stood on the porch, I wondered where the light came from? A cat brushed by my leg and nudged the squeeky door open.

Hello?? The house was old and all boarded up, but still had a comfy feel to it. I swore I could smell baked bread.

"Hello Little WItch"
"I jumped"
"Please sit, I've been waiting for you"
"For Me?"
"Would you like some treats, Little Witch"
"I'm not a......"
"Tabatha walked away"
"The smell that came out of the kitchen made my tummy rumble"
"Out Tabatha came with popcorn, cookies, candy apples, and hot chocolate"

Tabatha was beautiful. She wore a purple dress and had the biggest smile on her face. Her skin was pale, almost see through.

"I thought you were dead?"
"I thought you were old?"
"One question at a time Little Witch"
"Sometimes you can be dead and still here"
"And even though I am old, I am very young at heart"
"What happened to you Miss Tabatha"
"I was getting ready for Halloween, many years ago, picking apples in the back. I stepped wrong. While falling, my head hit a rock. I remembered calling for help, as loud as I could, but no one came. My soul got tired and I passed away in the apple orchard. Some people did come to look, your mother was one, but nobody found my body"

I felt so sad for Miss Tabatha.

"Don't be sad Little Witch"
"Why do you call me Little Witch. I am just dressed this way, because it is Halloween"
"Are you sure about that Little Witch"
"She made me smile"

"Little Witch, as I said before, I have been waiting for you. My soul has been trapped in this house. One special child, was meant to come to release me on Halloween. They were meant to tell my story every year and make sure I was not forgotten. And, you have been picked to be the chosen one"

"Miss Tabatha, I don't want you to go! Please stay"
"I must go Little Witch, but I promise, every Halloween, when you look towards the moon, you will see me fly by"

I ran home, so excited. I told mom everything. She smiled and believed every word I said.

"Goodnight mom, love you"
"Goodnight Stacy, love you too"

Many years have now passed, and Miss Tabatha's house has been restored to it's full glory! No one lives there, but it is kept up by the community and people of all ages can come and visit. There is a plaque in the front, that says, "Never Forget Miss Tabatha" "Love Little Witch".

Every Halloween night, I see her fly by the moon ;o)
"True story??? I will let you believe what you like" Happy Halloween ;o)









Thanks Magaly for putting together this wonderful blog party! In honor of Miss Tabatha, I have made a 6 x 6 painting, seen below for a giveaway and I am also giving away an aceo, called "Grave Yard Shift". To win one or both, just make a comment and tell me you want it all, or tell me which one you would like. It's that easy ;o) I am going away October 16th to the 18th. So, the giveaway will close on the 18th and a name will be chosen on the 19th ;o) Make sure to check back ;o) Happy Day Everyone ;o)

New Art And What The Booby Prize Looks Like ;o)

Hi Everyone ;o) It's a beautiful day here! The sunny is shining brightly! We have had family over Saturday and Sunday. Today, friends are coming over later. More food! I am not going on the scale, till the end of the week! LOL!

I would like to share some new art ;o) When, everyone was sleeping, I snuck down at night and painted ;o))) I can't help it!
"Love Goddess"









"Dancing With My Friend"









The next painting is 8 x 10. I have been working on it for awhile now. It's one of my abstract, fantasy paintings. I really loved the way it turned out! I hope you all do too ;o)
"The Goddesses"










Now, do you remember this painting for "one" of my booby prizes, in my Halloween giveaway?









Well, it doesn't look like that anymore! And, I sprayed it with a matte finish, because that's what all you seemed to like. For me, I do like gloss. Whoever wins this piece, is going to name it ;o)







Have a great day everyone! Check back later on the week, for Magaly's party and my giveaway for it ;o)

A True Story For Halloween and A New Aceo

I was 13 when this happened and it was September, my birthday month. I said goodnight to my mom and got ready for bed. My favorite red pj's she made me I put on. Ginger, my cat, meowed at my door. He wanted to sleep with me tonight, so I let him in. Actually, Ginger always slept with me. He was truly my cat, since I was born!

I cuddled under the covers. Something I always do, even today. I sleep on my side, and the covers always have to be over my shoulder, even if it's hot outside.

I was fast a sleep. Don't remember what I was dreaming, but I was probably flying or running.

Suddenly, my eyes were open, I was awake. I know I was awake, I wasn't dreaming, but I was really confused, because I was floating. My back was towards the ceiling and I was looking down at my bed. I looked at my body and I looked really peaceful. All curled up. Then, I looked at my cat. "Hi Ginger", I could hear myself talking.

Ginger, arched his back and started hissing. "No Ginger, it's me, it's me". Ginger ran off. "Ginger come back!" I felt I was yelling so loud!

Then I got scared. I started yelling, "I don't want to die", "I want to go back".

I actually don't remember, how long I was out of my body, but when my soul returned, I gasped for air and sat up in my bed.

My heart was pounding! I woke my mom up and we talked till morning.

Did I die for those few minutes? Was it an out of body experinece? Was I spirit walking? I don't know, but I truly don't want it to happen again! It was scary!

Different from when I was in the hospital and I was ill. Every night when I went to sleep in the hospital, I would say, if it is my time, please take me, I am at peace.

But, aren't you all lucky, I am still here! LOL! Have any of you ever had an out of body experience? Love to hear about it, or maybe you could post it on your blog!

I would like to show you now "A Magical Night". I changed my baby crow a little bit. She doesn't have any blue in her. Only tones of grey and black. I like the way she turned out. I might do this style again ;o) Hugs Everyone ;o)

New Aceo's, 3 Gargoyles and 2 Sisters

Hi Everyone ;o) I have been painting a lot because it's our Thanksgiving this coming Monday. Unfortunately, the sun hasn't been out, but, it was out for a few minutes and I got some pictures. The other 5 will have to wait! Who know's, maybe there will be more, by the time the sun comes out again ;o) Enjoy ;o)
"The Fortune Teller"









"Autumn Sky"










Now, I would like to show you the three Gargoyles that are in the room where I paint ;o) "Grace" who sits behind me, wanted another picture of her with my candle, so there is two pictures of her. What can I say, she loves her picture taken! LOL! Tyrion and Kit only wanted one picture of them ;o)












The two sister were complaining that they wanted their picture taken too, so here is Arya and Sansa ;o) Have a great day everyone!
