Yes, all of this on Spookytime Jingles tomorrow night!  We are continuing our holiday hootenanny with spring/Easter pieces, along with our usual array of Halloween and Christmas which we have throughout the year.  Here’s a little preview of what I will be offering tomorrow night around midnight, when the update rolls around……..

he’s a little orange kitty with great ambition!

sculpted natural clay spring bird totems

a pucker up moment for witch and frog!  Oh my!

Please join us all tomorrow night on Spookytime Jingles for loads of eye candy!  You won’t be disappointed!

What’s nearly here?  Where?  HERE!  Well, sort of.  The monthly update for pfattmarketplace, that great online venue for original artwork, is a little over 24 hours away.

Since spring is just around the corner on the calendar, even if it is not so much evident outside, and since Easter is less than one month away, my pieces for this month’s update will reflect the move to longer, sunny days!  Yay! So, here’s a peek……

This piece is entitled Oh Hoppy Day – a nice little canvas panel depicting a hopping, happy bunny with his paws full of Easter eggs!

And……..

beautiful floral pods sculpted of natural clay, whose density makes them perfect as paperweights!

Join all of us at pfattmarketplace when the clock strikes midnight, tomorrow night!  See you there!

It’s time for the Spookytime Jingles update, and for this month and the next, we will have a special added feature – Holiday Hootenanny!

The artists will have special Easter related items for you, in addition to our customary Halloween and Christmas which we celebrate throughout the year.

Here’s a look at what I will be offering for the Hootenanny – two rabbit totems!

I will be creating some different totems with animals whose characteristics you might find you share!  You’ll have to check out stj tomorrow night around midnight Eastern time to find out if you or someone you know is like a rabbit!   A small clue – you are able to move quickly, even in the face of danger!  Wow!  That’s certainly a good quality!

Also, for my stj update, I will have Halloween and Christmas……..

So come on over to Spookytime Jingles on Friday night around midnight Eastern, and see all of the holiday goodies from our artists!  I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed!  Thanks for looking!

It’s here already!  Brace yourselves for more eye candy from the artists at spookytimejingles, as we update tonight about midnight!  Yeah!  Here’s a little sneak peek at one of my offerings.  I will have Easter pieces as well as some Santas, so hop on by and take a look !  Enjoy!

Pfattmarketplace will be updating around midnight on the 9th- if you stay up, you can catch all of the action, but if not, and you actually WAIT until the morning of the 10th,  you might miss a lot!  My update will have  eggs as the connecting theme.  Well, that’s all I can tell you for right now, but here is a little peek coming your way!  Enjoy!

If you have followed my last two posts, you know about The LEAP Foundation, and the upcoming fundraiser to be held February 28th!  Just in case you haven’t read my recent blog entries, take a moment to get up to speed about this great event!  My previous two entries will tell you all about it!

I had posted the wip bunnies which will be in a silent auction, and now, I am happy to write, they are completed, and on their way to California!  Take a look!  They will be part of an Easter collection, which will be included in a larger holiday package to be auctioned for charity.  I will be posting pictures in the next few days so that you can see everything which will be available.  If you are in the Los Angeles area,  I urge you to attend this fun event!  There will be food, fun, music, and auctions – all to benefit The Leap Foundation, whose philanthropic endeavors help community efforts as well as female entrepreneurs in developing nations around the globe.    Now, for the unveiling…….

Enjoy!  If you would like to have a piece for yourself, please drop me an email at the following address:  ginny@ginnydiezelstudios.com and I will be happy to make one for you!  A portion of all sales which result from my postings of the auction pieces will go to The LEAP Foundation!  This is a great opportunity: they will receive the auction proceeds AND additional contributions through orders placed through me!  This is a win-win scenario!  Be checking my blog for the next ten days to see what other pieces of mine will be available!
