Feeling Goth

Hello Fabulous Bloggers! Thanks so much for your sweet visits
to my blog! I really appreciate all the special comments you leave.
Here is my latest painting.






















When I finished her up, I wasn't sure if she was just a
goth girl or maybe even a vamp girl. I'll leave the decision
up to you. Either way, I love the way she turned out.














I added a crocheted flower and brad to decorate her hair.





















Here is a before and after. As you can see, I started out wanting
her to be an angel when I sketched her, then I changed it up as I
began painting. You can now find her up for sale on ebay. (sold, thanks!)



Also, a big Congrats to Bettina of http://glassdragonbears.blogspot.com/ for winning my collage
painting from my Halloween group blog yesterday! Yay!

Creative Blessings,
Lisa :)

Halloween Party Winner!

Hello everyone! I wanted to say thank you to all of the special partiers
who visited me! I really appreciate all your spooktacular comments on
Matilda and my mini album. Also, from the many messages I received,
I am aware of the difficulties some bloggers were having at leaving
comments on that particular post.

















I even had a huge delay in posting the party due to blogger issues
too. Thankfully, it worked out in the end. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but I did tally your entry if you emailed me or
sent me a message on etsy. I so wish I could give all of you a
prize, but I could only choose one. Thanks again to you all!

The winner of my Halloween mini album goes to...





















Yay! Congrats to Lisa of http://all-the-wright-stuff.blogspot.com/! Please email me with your address and I will send off your winning prize.

Thanks again to everyone! :)

Halloween Party 2010

Hello and Welcome to my Halloween Party hosted by the talented Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist . This makes my second time participating
in the Spooktacular Extravaganza! Feel free to make yourself nice
and comfy. Enjoy!


























The story of Matilda is still quite unknown. Her spirit and
adventures, in my heart, they have grown.

Matilda was born many moons ago, others guessing her
age, a game she loves so. Young beauty before you, you see
in her eyes, she'll tell you her age and you'll be surprised.

















At daylight her world is not what it seems, blinded by light,
she lives in her dreams. Enchanted by music, her song has no
bounds, the breeze brings her lyrics, sweet melodic sounds.

She lives in the moment, dancing everyday, a stormy sky above will
not stop her play. A worn out old painting, was hidden around, now
in my hands, since she can't be found.

The cracks in the painting, up close I can see, the age of this painting,
but that cannot be.  Until there is more of Matilda's story to be learned,
I'll dance all day long, singing at every turn.

In the midst of my search of Matilda's life at every source, I did
get inspired with some creating... of course!





This is my Halloween Party Giveaway, for all of you to see. I created
my first Halloween mini album out of chipboard. I used a few altered
prints from my original paintings and went to town. This mini is filled
with mixed media including sweet and spooky embellishments.

Here is a slideshow of the complete mini.



Everyone has the chance to win this Halloween mini album, just leave me a comment in this post. The winner will be chosen using a random number generator.


Polls Close:


11:59 pm PST on Friday, October 22, 2010


Winner will be announced on Saturday, October 23rd.


Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my party! Don't forget
to visit all the magical participants on the list here.

Also just in case you were a little more curious about Matilda,
her story does not give any evidence so far about her being a vampire.
But I thought I would play with her photo and make her into one
digitally.


Good Luck & Happy Halloween!!!
Hugs,

Lisa :)
