HALLOWEEN HARVEST BALL

While waiting for the guests to arrive, Gwendolyn, the little Gargoyle that has been living in my back yard, tried to fly

We practiced out in the back field

But she became disinterested in flying, because a strong smell of green mouse stew

floated through the field

The Witch Bats had arrived at the Ball

A group of Spice Devils whisked the Gargoyle off to the Ball

The Mummy Ladies, took her for a spin around the floor

Fluff bugs, spun around their feet

Wind Slyphs gently rode the wind on fall leaves

Skele Diva made a grand appearance

And the Theater Witch added a few magical potions to the stew

Theater Witch mingled with Devil Diva and Vampire Girl

Careful not to step on fluff bugs, which seemed to be everywhere

The enchanting Vampire Kitty danced with his favorite Girl

The Bat Diva announced her arrival in a brisk breeze of fluff bugs

And the Spice Devil Girls all came to the Ball

Dressed in their finest party outfits

and dancing boots

Everyone squeezed together for the party picture

Happy Halloween

have a dance and don't forget to have a sip of green mouse stew

Oh,

must not forget to thank the wonderful Miss Vanessa over at A Fancilful Twist

for all the wonderful Halloween Parties this weekend

A quick snooze

And my party partner Gwendolyn, and I will be off to party hop until the sun comes up

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Where, oh where, did that broom take off too?

The Halloween Harvest Ball is all set for Sat. Oct 17th

and finally, she will go live on the roof of the Old State Theater

"at least that is the plan"

The Kitchen Witches have been boiling green mouse stew for days

"Yum Yum"

and the Theater Divas have been practicing their dance steps

Grab your broom, and check out all the Halloween Party Blogs Sat.

Miss Vanessa over at A FANCIFUL TWIST

is hosting the biggest Halloween Party!

and I'm sure it will be full of spooky potions, and the best Haloweenie goodies

Trick or Treat

Now, if I could just find my broom, does anyone have a spare broom to share?

THEATER WITCH

This is the week I turn another year older, I don't feel like a Senior, and most of the time I don't look like a old person.

But I felt some magical spells might help console me

I returned to the Old State Theater to seek out the resident Witch

"a very old, very hip girl"

Around the back, up the steep staircase

She greeted me in a puff of sparkles

Among the candles and pots

and potions of all kinds

The Witch invited me to take a seat, she said "my birthday should be full of fun, and feathers!"

She went into the other room to mix some potions,

and cast some spells for a wonderful birthday

I know that my birthday will be full of fun and magic, and of course feathers?

Grateful to the Theater Witch, I invited her to the Halloween Harvest Ball

Oct 17th

Miss Vanessa over at aFancifultwist if having a magical party, so bring your broom it will be,

no doubt, a long night of party hopping!

VAMPIRES

Florida in October has been blazing hot

a fire inferno from hell

To hot to spend anytime outside

So hot I almost forgot about my Gargoyle problem

in the backyard

Off I went to the State Theater to find more guests for the

Halloween Harvest Ball

I peeked around a corner, down a creepy backstage alley

and saw a sweeping black cape

disappear into a door entrance

I followed the black floating creature up the grand staircase

into a prop room full of candleabras and light fixtures

I finally caught up with the Vampires of the Theater

Beautiful white Kitty and a Vampire Girl

Careful not to get to close, I invited these two to my Ball

They accepted and asked if I would like to have lunch

(or actually be lunch)

No thank you, I had prepared before I arrived, a huge garlic Italian sandwich

they crinkled their noses

I backed away slowly, with my smelly sandwich

off to the park for lunch

I'll see you at the

Halloween Harvest Ball

Oct. 17th

SOFT SCULPTURE & BALL JOINTED DOLLS

I have a love of all dolls, ball jointed dolls are my favorite

But, could it be done in fabric?

I have seen BJDs done by other doll designers,

but I wanted something simple and sweet

in a beautiful batik cotton

in the perfect 11 to 12 inch size

so, I experimented and used wooden beads in the elbows, and knees, etc.

tiny cloth tabs, strung with strong beading thread, embellished with beads and buttons

this wispy little nymph was born

I see a large crowd of nymphs taking over my studio

HEE-HEE

FROM THE ATELIER OF KAERIE FAERIE

When my husband and I moved to the country a few years ago, I thought it would be a hard adjustment to make. Living all of my life in a big city, but the peaceful, tranquility of the farm land and country sides has made me more creative.

I believe it is the natural slowing down process of retirement, that has allowed me to be content among the cows in the back yard.

But I still yearn to design pretty gowns and dresses. Costuming at the community Theater has been fun, but I'm limited as to what I'm able to design.

I have always designed and made beautiful clothes, it use to be a need, because of my love of French Couture, and my lanky, tallness.

But as the parties, and art shows, and the night life of the city has halted, I still feel a need to design.

So, Fantasy Collections, handmade ArtWear has been reborn

My love of fabrics and textiles is still a strong part of my Artistic life

Now my shop has dresses, and dolls all fiber and fabrics

I always say, "never say never"

POWDER PUFF CLOWNS

I was greeted this morning by these two lovelies

Sitting on my dressing table

I seem to have a girlie pink princess thing going on, of late

sweet little Powder Puff Clowns

After the Halloween Collection of Dolls

pink seems to be the only color that oozes from my soul

I think I will have to look at these two darlings for awhile before

they go into my shop!
