Good luck with hunting down the bargins!! xo Michele

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

Donnie-New Work

Meet Donnie, all I could think of while I was sculpting him was Donnie Darko for some reason lol, he doesn't even look like a big rabbit! So Donnie was the name that stuck. He's 7 1/2" tall. He has vintage watch parts on his forehead and under his eye. A vintage tag at the top of his zipper, and some kind of metal hatchet that I'm guessing was once a kids toy? Only half of it was there when I found it. Oh he also has vintage watch parts for his little ears? horns?

Hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend! Spooky Time Soiree is tomorrow!! I really wish I could be there in person. Sigh. Maybe next year! But I do have 4 pieces of artwork there :o) xo Michele

Millie The Nurse-New Work

Meet Millie, she doesn't know why the Evil Soul Sucker wanted to do a heart transplant on her, her old heart was just fine. Since the new black one, Millie doesn't have nice thoughts. She's 10 1/4" tall. Lots of vintage pieces on her including a several watch pieces, a rhinestone button and a black bird scatter pin. Her arm is some kind of found thing-a-ma-bob I have no idea what it really is. Hope everyone is having a good weekend! xo Michele

Busy, busy, busy!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!! 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

Steampunk Soul Art Angel Doll-Angelina

Meet Angelina, she's in constant mourning for the souls that the Soul Sucker has destroyed. Her hands never stop moving, counting the beads on her rosary. She's joining the rebellion, hoping that her mechanical wings and protective chest plate will be enough against the evil Soul Sucker army.

She has vintage pocket watch parts for her wings, bolts for her feet, screws in her arms, watch pieces, washers for her neck, a vintage writst watch piece for her eye, her chest plate I believe was a scarf clip at one time, on her head is a vintage rhinestone brooch, and in her hands are vintage black rosary beads.

All three dolls are available in my etsy shop!
