My Art Project...

By -

Hi all!  Glad you stopped by to see what I've been up to.
I recently got an awesome deal on a box of ceramic figurines and houses to paint.  I have been painting little houses for Christmas for years now as a pass time in the winter. 
I usually start the beginning of November and paint about 6 to 10 houses by the time Christmas hits.  I enjoy it because it's relaxing and I get to be imaginative with colours.  It's a lot like makeup :D
Anyway, with the box of stuff I purchased I got quite a few things that I figured I could use as Christmas presents.  I'm not able to show you all of them until the presents are given because I know my family does read my blog lol and I don't want them to know what their respective figurines look like.
I can however show you all the one I am doing for my Godmother, since I know she never sees my blog lol
I have taken pictures of the figure from front to back clean with no paint and to where I am now with it.  I'm almost done. 
Here is how it looked before I got started....

This is the front, just ignore the black spots, it's to hide my family's gifts lol

This the back



I've got the horse mostly done but have not added any details or anything or shadows, I usually do that when I'm pretty well done.  I then go around the whole thing and add details where I think I can or I add some shadows to make it look more dimensional and so on.






It's finished!!!  I plan to seal it this morning and sign the bottom and my Christmas present is all ready.  Hope you like my post.  If so please do leave me a comment :D
Have a great week all!

What an amazing idea! And since you are so talented they are all sure to love them! I always think that homemade gifts are the best kind, people seem to treasure them more.

I like to paint too and I love art. For the past couple of Christmas's I've painted personalized ornaments with pet faces, names and year. I was online yesterday and saw something that I'd like to try my hand at that involves books and the folding of pages. I'm going to try and figure it out . . . might make good Christmas gifts this year.

Halloween Bash!!!!!! LAST DAY!!!!!!!!!!

So this is our last day to party :(  It's too bad because it's been such a wonderful time!  I've loved having each and every one of you here celebrating All Hallows Eve! Our final destination is................ Waverly Hills Sanatorium, located in Louisville, Kentucky, opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. It has since come to be considered one of the most haunted buildings in the Eastern United States. In the early 20th century, Jefferson County was severely stricken with an outbreak of tuberculosis. The original Waverly Hills building was soon home to over 140 patients. A larger hospital was needed for the overwhelming number of patients coming in, so construction of a five-story building that could hold more than 400 patients began in March 1924. The most common experience of visitors seems to be "moving shadows" or "shadow people". These are shadows that appear to have some substance - able to "

Welcome Back Everyone! Today we will be exploring the wondrous Town of Halloween. Halloween Town is my children's favourite Halloween Movie.  I thought it might be fun to put a little spin on this make-believe town. During the day Halloween Town looks like a lovely place to visit and play.  But!  At Night it turns into a spooky and scary place.  We are going to do like most Ghost Hunters and explore this town.  Let's see what do we need....   OK Everyone grab a piece of equipment and let's start exploring! To the right we have a graveyard, who wants to explore there?  Be sure to bring your camera and recorder to try and catch some EVPs.  You never know what ghostly voices might come about.  Down the road a little i another Haunted house, be sure to stay away from the windows, they are seriously creepy. Don't worry Ladies!  We have some wonderful men in Uniform or Halloween Costumes who will stick around to protect us!     Be careful!  You never
