O' Good Cat, We Will Meet Again

One in a series of art shrines I have been working on to honor pets that are no longer with us. This one has a place for you to attach a picture of your cat if you wish. The cat figurine is actually a vintage salt shaker. I added the blue bell to match his eyes, so this piece is titled "Bluebell".

Hello To Fall, Goodbye To The Boogel

Well, yay yay, it is the first day of Fall and I am finding my mind turning seriously to pumpkins, leaves, Halloween, skeletons and mummies. Evidently, others are doing the same since I just sold the art altar I made to the Boogel, pictured above. In case you are curious, a Boogel is a cross between an angel and a Boo. I will miss the Boogel altar, but if I get too lonely I can make a visit anytime to another Boogel who flies over the bar at Poe's Tavern on Sullivan's Island. He's better known as Devil Dude. (pictured below.) He supervises unruly patrons and keeps the spirit of Edgar Allan on tap.

Goats Discover Coffee Altar

An art altar I just finished which pays respect to the honorable goat and his role in the discovery of coffee. You may need to refer back to the post done on Jan. 8 of this year about Kaldi and his frisky goats. I'm waiting on the glue to clear up on the beans before listing it for sale. I might miss this one a little since I do some hard core coffee worship each morning.

It Was A Marvelous Night

...for Moondancing Bunnies. An art box I made a couple of years ago with found discarded objects. The happy couple had been hopelessly waiting at the Salvation Army. I held on to this one by accident since it never sold...I think the bunnies wanted to stay and I'm glad they did. I keep them by a window where sometimes the light from the full moon shines in on them.

April, The Spring Ho

I've never been a huge fan of Spring, being more of a dark, winter soul. I decided to do a gift at Christmas for my friend who loves Spring, thinking it may be good therapy...make me more of a refreshing, Spring oriented person. Well, this is what came out. It's April, the Spring Ho. She's gone to live with Matt. Hope they are having a wonderful Spring.

A Saint Valentine Pocket Shrine


A pocket shrine I made last year from a matchbox and recycled tile. Saint Valentine will deliver your message on the little scroll.
