Woo Hoo!  Yes!  It’s true!  My first online class begins September 24th at That Creative Place!  Lisa Gatz, the creative guru behind this wonderful site has asked me to begin to create classes for her.  She is interested in broadening the scope of classes, in that she would like to have a variety of looks to the pieces.

My first class is a Halloween candy container.  This is a basic class in which you will learn about the use of materials around your home which you can use to make a festive addition to your Halloween decor!  If you have some paints and brushes, a little glue, and some sort of container, I bet the only thing you will need to buy is Creative Paperclay, if you don’t already have it.  You’ll learn an easy way to cover a container, and how to make a smooth surface on which to sculpt further and to paint.  By using average supplies which don’t break the bank, you can be on your way !  There are three lessons, and the class price os $20.  Please stop on by this  link and take a look!  Thanks!  And, here’s the finished product!

The winner is JoLynn Nilson!  Yes, JoLynn was the lucky winner of my giveaway for AHA Artists Studio Marketplace big launch on August 125th!  Congratulations, JoLynn!  And to all of you who visited my blog, as well as those of my fellow AHA artists,a big thank you!  Stay tuned, because there will be more fun pieces available this month when we update!

Well, you’ll just have to come by Spookytime Jingles to find out who it is looking back at you!  See you tonight around midnight Eastern time!

You might be asking that question, since all you can see is legs and shoes.  Well, she is the newest witch I have created with my own papier mache mix and paperclay, and she is available about midnight tonight Pacific time on pfattmarketplace!  Come on by and check her out!  See you there!

Here’s my blog giveaway to celebrate the opening of the AHA Studios Marketplace!  He’s a sculpted jol on a mini canvas, and comes with his own easel!  READ ON!  See how you can win this original piece of artwork from me, and find out how to win from our other artists as well!  OH boy!

And, so is this little clown snowman!  See you tonight around midnight on SpookyTime Jingles!  Don’t be late!

It’s been a while for me to get back into a regular rhythm of blogging, posting photos, etc.  Between the pc dying, our trip to California for our son’s wedding, and catching up on deadlines, life has been sorta crazy!  Now that I am settling back in, I wanted to post a pic of my latest creation – my Happy Little JOL which will be available on pfattmarketplace tomorrow night around midnight, West Coast time!  I am making my own papier mache these days – love the feel, love the texture, love the look – hope you do as well!  Check in tomorrow night and see all the goodies!

There has been a change in the update schedule for Spookytime Jingles, due to a family illness with our founder.  The update will occur tomorrow, June 13th, at NOON, instead of tonight around midnight.  See you there!  In daylight!  yay!

Here we are, once again!  Tonight around midnight Eastern time, the artists at Spookytime Jingles will update for the month.  Here’s a look at what I will have to offer this evening……

These are all dimensional mini canvases with lots of detail.  Come on over tonight and take a look!  We’ll be waiting for you!
