working away on things, creepy, spooky, things. Non stop is the speed I am going, overwhelmed a bit by how quickly time is flying by. Show season is almost here and I hope to be very ready.

so here are a few of the new things.

on a side note. dislike the new blogger set up very much for posting. It is awful.

been trying out some new ideas for the past few days.

Not sure where I am going with these guys or if I am going to even make anymore.

1. killer fish ornament. hmmmm not sure how I feel about him.

2. ROBOTS...well, well, well. been on my mind for sometime, finally made them real, I think I may make more.

3. Robot birds. kind of reminded me of that movie with the robot bird. the name of it escapes me.

so that is the low down on mealy monster land.

Have a good weekend!

let me introduce to you

Bea and Beth

two new pose-able ladies I finished up over the week.

They, believe it or not, (I can't) are the first pose-able art dolls I have made for the year!! I have been very focused on building up a monster/bird army in preparation for the show season that I neglected making any bigger pieces.

Speaking of shows. the first big summer festival is happening in three ish weeks!!!!

call me panicked!

cause I am

I really felt like I would be more prepared by now. I guess I better make the most of the next few weeks. I have a list and I really would like to check some stuff off of it.

been really into mixing bugs with human faces as of late. At Allentown Art Festival I am hoping to have a bunch more of these species along with some others.

was just a matter of time before our friends the snails began talking and having opinions.

does not surprise me at all, does seem to surprise the primitive snail species.

Not sure what they think since they are after all, well you know, they are primitive snails.

Happy APRIL!!

I can not believe how quickly this year already seems to be going by. I have been working on a custom order over the past few days. A very daring family asked that I mealy monster them. I am really happy with the way they turned out and especially love the puppy. Kinda want to keep him.

I have also been very busy planning out my summer show festival schedule, applying and waiting to hear back since January. Hoping to be participating in shows from June until December across western and upstate NY. Just got word on the first one for the summer season.

The 55th Annual Allentown Art festival

that will be held June 9th and 10th in Buffalo, Ny.

I am very excited to take part, this will be my first year participating in this show and it is a pretty big one here in Buffalo. I look forward to the new adventure.

Speaking of shows. I also will be in Rochester, NY on April 28th for one day only taking part in the Mayday! Underground craft and art show. I hope to see some of my Rochester friends there! Here are some peeks at some of the mealy monsters I will be bringing along with me to the show.

I will be updating my show schedule in the events section as I find out.
