No more Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde :(

Let's all take a moment and just shhhhh!!! (tapping fingers on desk for moment to pass..hehe) It seems that Piwacket (my pesky at times lil kitty) decided that poor Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde did not need to be completed.

Do NOT let the shining angel light fool ya peoples!!

I came into my art studio.....well, that's what I call it but it's really my back room that serves as laundry room, art studio, computer room, reading room....yesterday morning and found the gruesome discovery. OMGOSH....gruesome it was too. Poor him/thems (affectionately named by my friend Johanna) was laying on the floor with *GULP* their head laying over to the side and bite marks and pieces chewed completely off. Horrible I tell ya peoples...simply horrible. Needless to say, him/thems was put to rest. Dang kitty!!!!

Now if you come and sit under the old Southern ooak tree then you know that I'm a member of a really FUN group called EVeRy WiTcH WaY LaNe. Psst...they also have a blog so go and visit AFTER you finish reading my post of course. Each month we have a challenge and August's challenge is to pick our favorite Halloween catch phrase, saying,quote or poem. Patrick even said that we could write our own poem if we so chose to and well....that's what I did!!!

Hocus Pocus Nooooo Pocus Hocus

Ohhh me Ohhhh my

What spell did I cast?

I turned my poor cat 

into a frog at last.

I love my cat and NOT

this dang frog.

This thing ribbets and

belongs in a bog.

My cat, my cat, my beloved pet

This major mishap has my

stomach upset.

I need that spell book

I need it right NOW

Oh wait, how did I forget

The spell book is under 

my foot, my pet.

I've got it now

The spell that I need

Hocus Pocus and abracadabra

Turn that frog back into my cat

Ohhh me Ohhh my

NOW it's a bat.

Not only did I write my own poem but I also did a tiny witch sculpt to go along with it. Meet Tabitha and her cat ummm I mean bat. Muahahahahaha!!!

Tabitha sits right at 6 inches from the base of her spell books to the tip of her wings. She was completely hand sculpted from clay. Her face detailed using acrylic paints. Her hair is pulled wool yarn. Her bodice is clay, her skirt is tulle and her sleeves are black lace. Her hat is made from felt with a tulle bow. Her wings are some of my embroidered ones made from a black silk scarf, wire and has beads on the tips and bottom of wings. Her books were made from clay and then painted. Her wand is made from a tiny piece of wood. Her poor cat ummm bat was sculpted from clay and then dry brushed with black. Cat/bat's eyes are black beads. 

I had so much fun with this challenge and am hoping that I can participate in many more in the future.....without any mishaps. Bahahahahaha!!!  Please follow along with this fun group as at the end of each challenge the pieces are put on the blog for sale. Yeppers, YOU could own a unique piece of Halloween art peoples. There are some amazing artist in the group and a range of mediums are used. 

Until next time..............Hugs,

Regi

P.S. For those that know, keep me in your prayers as this Tuesday is my appointment with the surgeon. I must admit that I'm a wee bit nervous. Okay....okay...I'm a BIG bit nervous. ^_^
