Meet Sister Agnes New work!

Meet Steampunk Soul Sister Agnes. She doesn't understand why the inky black stuff keeps spilling out of her mouth, then again, nothing has been the same since the Evil Soul Sucker came to Creativity.

Sister Agnes is 9 1/2" tall x 4" x 3" deep. She has vintage watch parts for her right eye, and another vintage piece under her left. There is also a vintage watch part on her chest, with a vintage rosary piece and watch gear. At her waist hangs vintage rosary beads and a beautiful vintage cross. She is hand sculpted over an armature (no molds ever) out of polymer clay. Her left arm is some kind of metal found object with a piece of a wooden ruler. I hand painted her in layers with oil paints.

Hope everyone is doing well. I know I promised to be a better blogger, but I've been super busy. STJ Soiree went very well for me, even though I couldn't be there in person. Five of my pieces will be in Art Doll Quarterly in the Winter issue, which hits the stands on November 1 :o) I've seen the sneak peek and it looks fabulous! The dolls are on a red background, now why didn't I ever think of that? I'm also working on some pieces for a gallery :o) So lots going on, I promise I haven't been slacking! The nun however is available in my etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/listing/82730823/steampunk-souls-mixed-media-art-doll
Back to work I go...more later on the magazine and gallery...xo Michele

Happy Mother's Day & Charlie

Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there! I hope your day is filled with special people, sunshine and love!

It's been a while since I blogged! I was super busy with the National Halloween Convention artwork, which is going on this weekend by the way! Lots of really cool artwork there with Spooky Time Jingles!! Then I got sick with some kind of upper respiratory nastiness! I'm finally starting to feel a bit better! In the meantime I created Charlie, another evil steampunk soul sucker medic. I'm loving creating these guys! He's a bit bigger than normal 14 1/2" tall by 4 x 4" Lots of creepy steampunk goodness! He's available in my etsy shop today :o) Just click the word etsy and it will take you there :o) I'm working on some steampunk souls for the next Spooky Time Jingles update on the 13th!

Hope everyone has been doing well! I've missed all my blogger friends!! xo Michele

Radish Brother is a Girl!

Shows what I know! The veggie brother isn't a brother at all! Nope, it's a sister! Also I was originally going to give him...er...her zucchini arms and legs but I thought that was too much green, so she got summer squash like her sister ;o) This one was easier to photo for some reason. Anyway Miss Radish head and Miss Tomato head are off to the gift shop where they will live in the display window :o)

I finished the Black Crow for STJ update that's coming up on the 13th but boy oh boy did I have a hard time getting pictures of him! He's like the skelly bird where he has a vintage clock part on his head that's a curly cue and I couldn't get it to show up, nor the other vintage watch pieces that make up his wings and tail. I'm going to pull a Scarlett and think about that tomorrow!!

Little guy is on day two of antibiotics and I think he might be feeling a tad bit better!! Throats still sore but no more soaring temp :o)) Off to make dinner! Veggie soup! LOL just kidding! xo Michele

Oliver The Skelly Candy Container

Met the skelly named Oliver, he loves candy and he is perfect to store whatever stash you need to keep secret!

Oliver promises not to eat your candy, well maybe not all of it! He is 8" tall x 7" wide x 3 1/2" deep. He has a delicate crackle finish on him and inside his box. It's been a long time since I crackled something, but Amber and Moriah inspired me to do it again ;o) I really like how he came out! He will be available tonight, Wednesday at 8 pm central time on ebay id: michelelynchdesigns happy bidding! Also Cedric the skelly with his pumpkin pal shaker ends tonight at the same time :o)

I'm off to finish those poor veggie peeps that have been waiting so patiently for me!! xo Michele

Night Owl

This little witch has turned herself into an owl and has landed on the moon, who doesn't look too happy about it might I add LOL. She's the owl I promised for ebay: michelelynchdesigns tomorrow (Sunday). She'll be available at 9 pm central time. Oh and don't forget the conjoined pumpkin twins end at the same time!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm off to cut the grass, spring has now officially started lol! xo Michele

WIP Veggie People

Thought you all might like to see the veggie peeps in progress ;o) They're all sculpted and waiting to be painted, hopefully this weekend, and then I'll take a pic of them done :o) I have to laugh because the one with the radish head right now being all white looks almost like a tele tubby to me LOL!!

Someone asked me if I had done any steampunk crows? Yes! I actually have one slotted for Spooky Time Jingles update on the 13th! I'll have pictures of him around the 10th or so, so that you all can preview what's on my part of the site before it updates.

Hope everyone has a fan-tab-u-lous weekend! I'll be working away ;o) So much to do, so little time....xo Michele

Skelly Time Cedric

Meet Cedric the Skelly Party-er! He's all set to rattle and roll with his pumpkin pal! Cedric is 7 1/2" tall x 4" x 4".  He will be available on ebay tonight at 8 pm central time. Also Bat Boy ends tonight at the same time :o) He's one of my favorites!! I really thought he would have a bid right away, anyone else ever do that? The ones you think you will first don't, the ones you don't think will, do?? LOL, it's always a mystery to me!

Cedric, might be the last one for ebay this week, I need to get the veggie people done this week too :o) Should have some pictures to show you all soon. And I'm still working on the National Halloween Convention pieces too!

We only got a tiny bit of snow over night and it all melted by noon so HURRAY!! Hope you are all having a beautiful hump day! xo Michele

Steampunk Sarah Is Featured On Art Dolls Only Blog!

Awhile back I entered the Steampunk Quarterly challenge on Art Dolls Only blog, and was so excited yesterday to learn that Sarah would be featured on their blog! You can visit Art Dolls Only blog here-http://artdollsonly.blogspot.com Thank you for featuring Sarah :o) I'm honored!

Yesterday I got a couple more things all sculpted out but I was so tired I just couldn't keep going. I just felt drained, both mentally and physically. That usually doesn't happen to me, I'm a workaholic as most of you that follow this blog know. Not sure what it was? But I finally stopped fighting it and just took the rest of the night off ;o) I've got a lot of things going right now that I'm excited about but maybe all that planning and designing just drained me. Hopefully I'll have a few things to show you in the coming days. There's a skelly bust coming up for ebay, plus some others for ebay, a few veggie people that I'm doing for a shop, I'm also working on pieces for the National Halloween Convention :o)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! More snow is on the way for us today and tonight. If I never see another snowflake at this point I would be happy! Remember Sam?

That's how I'm feeling LOL! Sam the skelly snowman is making his way over to Ebay tonight at 8 pm central time :o) Also Ghost Girl ends on there tonight ;o) xo Michele

Skelly Bird

Okay so when I started Skelly Bird (I can't help but think of Phoebe's smelly cat song every time I say skelly bird LOL) he was going to be a sweet blue bird....he had a mind of his own and took over! In no way did he want some cutesy bird house, he wanted a haunted bird house lol. So Skelly Bird was born ;o) The curly cue on top of his head is a part from a vintage pocket watch. I painted a couple of witches, a jol, a black cat and a skeleton in the windows of Skelly Birds haunted house.

He is 8" tall not counting the curly cue x 3 wide x 3 deep. He will be available on Ebay michelelynchdesigns on Monday at 8 pm central time. Also the conjoined twins will be on ebay tonight at 9 pm central time, and Freddy ends tonight at the same time!

We got about 5 to 6 inches of snow yesterday! I meant to take a picture of the trees in bloom with the snow on them, they were so pretty! But the sun came out first thing this morning and has melted the snow off of them. It never did stick to the streets really, they were just too warm still. Crazy spring weather! xo Michele

No Bones About It

Meet the flying skelly guy ;o) I had some challenges creating this one, but in the end I think he worked out! He's 9 1/2" tall x 7" x 3". He has screws at his jaws, a vintage enameled watch face, tiny skelly charm, 2 swarovski crystal elements on his hat and a found metal curly thingy :o) I'm putting him in on ebay for Thursday night at 8 pm central time :o) He's a Halloween party-er if I ever saw one ;o)

I still have three more pieces that are sculpted and ready to paint ;o) I keep saying I'm going to take a day off and enjoy this weather, but I haven't! Today is the last day, before we dip back down to our normal 40-50's so I'm off to enjoy! xo Michele

Batty For Halloween!!

When I said in the last post that I was off to get my hands in some clay, I wasn't kidding! I have 5 new pieces sculpted! I got this one painted and wanted to show him to you all :o) Lots of time went into painting him :o) I think he came out pretty cute! He's 8" x 7" x 3". There's stars on his back too

I'm putting him on Ebay Wednesday night at 6 pm central time. I've decided to get over my break up with ebay and sell some pieces on there again lol. My ebay id is michelelynchdesigns, there's also a link in the side bar of my blog ;o) Hopefully our love/hate affair will be better after our break up ;o)

More pieces coming this week ;o)

Hope everyone had a great weekend, we have had some really gorgeous weather here lately, in the 80's!! I hear we are dropping back into the 40's though :oP xo Michele

Holloween Witch

What it's not October? Are you sure?? It's chilly and wet outside again! I'm still in Halloween mode. Heck, maybe I'll stay for forever. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday! This witch can hang on your wall, or sit on a shelf. She's 7" tall x 4" wide x 2" deep. She will be available in my etsy shop, until next week. I'll put her on ebay then ;o) I've been moving some things around and listing on ebay again, you can find Elmer, It's Skelly Time and Is It Time Yet Pumpkin Head on ebay right now!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm back to getting clay on my hands! xo Michele

Ghost Girl

Don't know what's happened to me, but I sure have slowed down lately! It was that birthday that did it I think lol. I finally finished this little ghostie girl. She's 10" long and hangs on the wall.

She's available in my Etsy shop. To visit my Etsy Shop Click Here
Hope everyone is having a great week so far! It's gorgeous outside here today!! Hurray!! Spring is on her way!! xo Michele

Spooky Time Jingles Update Tonight At Midnight!!

This is a cabbit LOL! He's a cat/rabbit! Okay so it's actually a black cat with bunny ears on, but don't tell him you can tell he's not really a rabbit! His name is Marvin and Marvin uses his smile to pick up chicks. LOL okay I know it was corney, but I gotta amuse myself lol! Tonight is the Spooky Time Jingles update at Midnight and there are lots of goodies in store from the peeks I've seen! Be sure to check out all the fabulous artists on there! Marvin will be there, along with these fellows ;o) Did they turn out how you pictured them, after seeing only a peek of them in white?

Don't forget the Easter Hootenany is going on at Spooky Time Jingles this month too! My two er bunnies will be on my Christmas page. Hope everyone is have a fabulous weekend! We are having gorgeous weather here today! It's about time!! xo Michele

Just A Peek

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted last! I've been hard at work in my studio, getting ready for Spooky Time Jingles update this weekend! So I thought I would give you all a peek at what I've been working on ;o) Lots of fun coming this time! There are cabbits (what's a cabbit you ask? Hmm...Ginny knows lol!) a witch, a bunny, and of course some skellys!

Hope everyone is having a creative and great week! xo Michele

More Halloween

Okay so this weekend I did everything and anything to avoid that website. Sigh. Which is why it's so outdated! But I do have 3 new pieces that I will be adding to etsy shop today ;o) and another one that's still drying that's a wall hanging. I was still in Halloween mode as you can see lol. Hope everyone else had a productive or fun weekend! xo Michele

Annabelle- My version of cute!

Meet Annabelle! Annabelle decided she wanted to be a snow angel, so she made herself some wings out of paper. What better paper to use for angel wings than the pages of Momma's bible?! She even used her special glitter on them! She was so proud of the way they turned out. Oh wait maybe she should be a Valentine Day fairy? No worries her special wings still worked as a fairy. Only now Annabelle is a little worried, Momma has just discovered the cut out pages of her "book". Do you think Momma will love the wings as much as Annabelle?

I had a ton of fun creating Annabelle! I didn't use any steampunk parts this time and did a little cuter version than I normally do just for fun! I created her wings out of a vintage bible page, resin, and German glass glitter and copper wire. Annabelle is hand sculpted out of paper clay over an armature. Her "dress" is scrapbook paper and I added vintage lace around the bottom and the sleeves. Her bow is also vintage lace. The block is a child's alphabet block I purchased a long time ago at an antique store.

I'm going to list Annabelle on Ebay and see how that goes ;o) Let me know what you all think of her :O)) xo Michele

Awesome Mosaic From Stephanie Murphy

I wanted to share with you all a gorgeous mosaic that Stephanie Murphy made using one of my steampunk birds. Amazing work!! I can't stop looking at it! You can find more of this talented artist's work at Stephanie Murphy and you got it, she does take commissions! Although I hear there's a waiting list! Check out more of her work if you get a chance! Have a great night everyone! xo Michele

Another Dragon and Angel!

Okay so since the other dragon sold within minutes of me putting her on ebay and the popularity of her, I made another one ;o) Love how this one came out too!! Hmmm...maybe I should just do a series of them! Here she is, same coloring as the other one but a different pose and different eye color ;o) Available on ebay tonight at 8 pm cental time:Then something a little different. Instead of my regular fused glass painted face, I used a vintage photograph under a clear domed cab, set in a silver tone bezzel. I have a large collection of vintage photographs so this gives me a chance to use them! Let me know what you all think about the 2 different styles and no worries I'm not stopping the painted ones ;o)
I'm off to cook dinner and then boy scouts is tonight. Oh and guess what...it's raining. I'm thinking I should finish the ark I started building in the spring. Have a great night everyone! xo Michele

Glass Pendants!!

Wooo Hoooo!!! I finally got some new glass pendants painted!! All 3 of them go on ebay tonight at 8 pm central time. I was trying to get some steampunk listed also but ran out of time. I'll see if I can't get some up there tomorrow or so. Hope everyone is having a good week! Things are going to get crazy for me again, I have my husbands birthday on the 7th then Easter on the 12th, then my oldest son's birthday on the 17th and guess how old he will be??? 21!!!! I so can't believe it!! But it will be fun! We're going to take him out for a night on the town ;o) xo Michele
