Ornies Find New Homes

I'm home from the Florida Art Teachers Conference in Orlando tonight. What fun we had. I had some excellent classes and got so many new ideas for projects. My students are going to love them. Next year we travel to St. Petersburg. I'm looking forward to it already. Good fun, good friends, and wonderful memories.

I was fortunate to sell four of my ornies and a couple of Little Jack pins at the Artist Bazaar on Friday night. Scary Skellie who you met in my last post is gone as well as Batilla, and the Queen of Hearts, who I finished at the last minute and forgot to make their pictures.

This is "Frankie Baby". He's quite the handsome fellow and sure to steal the heart of any lovely lady in town, just as his was stolen....he's looking for his bride.


And I'd like you to meet "Millicent Monster" all dressed up for the Halloween Ball. I wonder if she found a date?

Cover your eyes and don't you peek

Larry wants to play Hide and Seek.

As you walk by he'll pull you in.

It's dark inside

Games over my friend!

And "Larry" of "Hide and Seek" is gone also. It is so rewarding when you sell your art to fellow artists. Their was so much talent exhibited at the bazaar you wonder why your art was chosen. I guess there other crazy artists out there that love a little spooky combined with a little whimsy. Whatever the reason I am so glad they chose my little guys and know that they now have wonderful new homes.

Otis Ogre

Otis Ogre mean and green
Roams the streets on Halloween
Scaring little girls and boys
Making a frightful, dreadful noise.
Stealing candy from their bags
Dancing with the witchy hags
Up and down the windy streets
Laughing, roaring
Trick or Treat

Otis Ogre is ready to hang on your Halloween tree. He is a funny scary little fellow and was fun to make. He is four by three and a half inches tall and five and a half inches when you include the hanger. Otis is the first in a series of my Halloween ornaments.
