Getting a "Wild Hare" to Party???????

Well this little hare is all dressed up for New Years and ready to go! Sweet Remus will be in my Etsy shop in the new year. I don't make animals very often but every once in a while I'll pull a rabbit/hare outta my hat!
Cheers!!

Guglhupf Winter Market was a Blast!

If you are ever in the Durham, NC area I highly recommend eating at the Guglhupf! http://www.guglhupf.com/  An amazing cafe/bakery that has a great layed-back atmosphere and great art on the walls.  The Guglhupf Winter market was last weekend and I had a blast! Above is a quick shot of my little booth before the days festivities unfolded. It is such a fun, tiny event but it packs a punch with entertainment!!
 It was a cold morning setting up but we had heaters and coffee to keep us going!
 I just LOVE Pam Gutlon. She is the owner of the Outsiders Art & Collectibles gallery that I sell thru in the Durham area. She is so much fun to hang out with! She has a great passion for unique folk art and celebrates not just art but the artist too. http://www.outsiders-art.com/


 This guy blew my socks off! His talent with music and puppetry is Amazing!!!
 Tarish 'Jeghettothepuppetmaker' Pipkins.  http://www.wix.com/jeghetto/puppetmaker
You must check out his Utube videos too! This guy is pure talent and he is a sweetheart too!
 The Bulltown Strutters were a hoot! Mardi Gras Dixie style with a twist of Christmas! Loved Them! You can check them out at their facebook page.
 The crowd was totally into it.
 This is the ever so talented Sandra Elliot - a painter/Int. decorator with an amazing cause! Please check her work and passion out at www.365at50.tumblr.com She is so much fun! A heart of gold and a fellow fabric freak!
 My show neighbors Cassandra and Ryan with their booth full of fun earrings! Yes, you can wear gummy bears! really!!!! Check their shop out at www.iskabibbles.com I bought a mask she made and LOVE it. I forgot to take a pic and I will try to show it off later.
I really enjoyed the Eno Mountain Boys. These guys had a great folksy/blues with a Southern edge. They are young and up and coming! I think we will be hearing more from these guys - check them out at www.reverbnation.com/theenomountainboys.com
 Well, the holidays are upon us - I hope everyone is getting into the festive spirit! Cheers

Blink! - It's December - Oh My...............

Working away as time ticks by at such a fast pace! I can hardly believe it is December already. I just love this new gal I am working on. She is about 30 inches tall and heavy! I stuffed her with raw cotton. She is demanding a tall hat and a proper coat. I may have to postpone her for a little while and work on some crazy flying fairies - I will be at the Winter Market in Durham, NC in a few weeks with a group from the Outsiders Art Gallery. Odd is good! Can't wait.
Happy December to all!
