Edgar and Sam

Here's the last piece going to Spooky Time Jingles Soiree! I'm not able to go this year, but I'll be there in spirit ;o) Edgar is 12" tall, his robe is black velvet and he has a clock as the clasp for his robe. Sam's seeds are shaking, thinking Edgar might eat him! He has a vintage pin for his stem and leaf.

Hope everyone is having a good week! I'm off to get my hands back in the clay, finishing up another secret project ;o) lol. It's only secret cuz it's a birthday surprise! xo Michele

It's That Time Again...

I hope he finds a good home at the show :o) I sent 12 pieces in all. Now it's time to restock my etsy shop which I'm happy to say has become a little empty :o) Hope everyone is having a great week! 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

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

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

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

Gotcha!

Gotcha! This piece was inspired by how quickly time can sneak up on you! Remember that birthday of mine? LOL. I actually had him all sculpted before that, but didn't have him painted yet. It's taken me a while to get back into the groove of things this week!

Gotcha the grim reaper hangs on the wall. There is a hook already in his back for easy hanging. He is 8 1/2" tall x 3"wide x 2 1/2" deep. He has a vintage watch piece for his eye, screws in his jaw (reminds me of the snake bite piercings!) a gear that acts as the button to hold his robe together, and a vintage watch face, entire watch piece with it's tiny rubies intact, and a spinner. He is entirely hand sculpted out of paper clay over an armature. His hands are epoxy,  He is hand painted and sealed. The title, date and my signature are on the back. He's available in my ETSY SHOP :o)

Hope everyone has a great Mardi Gras weekend! Can't decide if we're going to venture to downtown St. Louis or not tomorrow, it's a wild time for sure! Whatever you decide to do have a creative, fun, fantastic one! xo Michele

Until Death...Grim Reaper Couple

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Grim Reaper! I think they would be a really unique wedding cake topper! He is just shy of 5" tall and she is 4" tall. They are available in my etsy shop :o)

I survived the birthday weekend, but just barely! Had waaaay to much fun Saturday night and paid for it on Sunday! and of course I swore I would never do that again...until next time. lol. We went out to eat Sunday night for our birthdays at a Sushi restaurant here by our house and had a great time, sampling off of each others plates! Monday I gave my youngest a hall pass from school for his birthday and we spent the day together. He had that birthday money burning a hole in his pocket so of course we had to go to Game Stop and get the latest and greatest for the Xbox ;o) We had a really nice day together, I love spending time with my boys :o) Hope everyone has had a great weekend and start to their week! It's time for me to get back to reality and that means the little characters on my work table, and laundry! 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

Halloween Art

I know it's not Halloween, but I seem to be in that mood all the time! Meet Freddy, the pumpkin man. He got that name because I thought he looked like Freddy Krouger from Nightmare on Elm Street while I was sculpting him. lol. He has a found earring for his leaves, 15 jewel watch piece for his eye and an vintage enameled watch face on his tummy. He is available in my Etsy shop click here to visit my etsy shop

Time Keeper Grim Reaper ( I love that it rhyms LOL how corney is that?!) may be taken, I'm not sure yet. He is even more detailed than the Times Up Grim Reaper. Lots and lots of vintage watch parts on his robe and for his eye. I loved adding the zipper detail and will be adding more of that in the future :o) His scythe is removable and is a vintage skeleton key, vintage pocket watch piece and epoxy. He's sculpted over a wire and epoxy armature. His hands are epoxy, the rest is paper clay.

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather for a change, just seeing the sunshine makes my heart happy! Have a great weekend everyone! I plan on trying to update my website. Lord help me. If you see a computer flying past you, pay no attention, I just chucked it through the window ;o) xo Michele
