Art Totes - getting ready for Fall Craft Bazaars !

My new tote bags are not ready yet. I hafta do alot more with the bag, the image, and everything. But its a start. I wanna use a much larger image, and maybe dye the bag to match the image. I dont sew, seriously, so what i do has to be with the painted image and some very minor other stuff like the dye. I've tie-dyed, and maybe I could add a snap closure by some miracle. We'll see. Stay tuned for better tote bags.

Witch Hot Air Balloon Folk Art Painting

This was a fun painting. I can just feel the wind in my face as I float along in my Hot Air Balloon. I mean the Witch. In the painting.....;)

The other pic is of me on my Wedding Day. I mean OUR Wedding Day... :) It is not for sale.

THANKS HUBBY !!!

Silhouette Witch Painting with Black Cat and Moon Beams

So excited about this Silhouette Painting! It turned out exactly as I imagined, which isnt ALWAYS the case, sometimes my idea changes as I begin the effort, I see some possibility that would seem to work better, or realize that an idea just cant be realized.

However, this time the Moon Beams, background trees, even the insinuation of a cloud over the Moon turned out exactly as I wanted. Yummy. Its not a big piece, only 13x17, which still isnt exactly Miniature! The signature is on the Frame portion, not the inside painting, the Hat does seem to hang on the tree branch, and the feeling of joy and abandon is conveyed in the painting as I wanted, so I just Truly HOPE that somebody else sees it too, then I will feel Understood, and that my effort is worthwhile... So, we will see. This item is for buy-it-now style on ebay, instead of Auction format, which is really what I am doing with all of my Artwork that I offer there now.

The Auction thing isnt really intended for the Art, at least I dont think so. I could put a Reserve on it if I didnt want to sell until it got to a certain price. Thats an idea to explore soon maybe. How about you Artists out there? How do you feel about Reserve and Buy-it-Now as opposed to Auction format - LMK ! chat at admin@loralai.com or loryia.bond@gmail.com.

XX/OO !!!

FAIRY Tale WITCH Painting NEW on Vintage Wood

I LOVE MY NEW FAIRY WITCH !!

SHE IS SO CUTE WITH HER GOLDEN EYES AND PIXIE CURLS !

Her long Green Robe is gonna get all kinds of dirt on it and pine needles probably and bugs and spiders too. She probably doesnt even care. That Beautiful Red Apple is TOO Tempting and its special magic qualities are just what this little lady is looking for - These Magic Apples come in handy in Fairy Tales, tempting the unsuspecting young maidens and what-not. What is She up to, I wonder -

I was happy to find this old cabinet door at The Hab, its not too heavy and the old hardware came off pretty easily. I always feel so powerful when I accomplish ANYthing with a screwdriver. Or those plier things. The frame color is just perfect - it looks washed out being semi-opaque black over the old white wood, I decided to leave it like that instead of applying additional coats of black, which would be more opaque, but less aged looking. The piece is in pretty good shape considering its age, just a spot on the top edge where I had to fill in a small hole.

So satisfying.

The pictured Cabinet front is a find from Habitat for Humanity (again)! When I went in last week in my flip-flop and sundress, the employees give me this look that says 'there she is again - the one who knocked down all the cabinet doors...'. I KNOW that is what they are thinking ONLY because of this ONE TIME when I DID knock down all of the doors. ONE TIME !!!

And that was ONLY because I saw this particular door that I just KNEW was the one I wanted! It was all the way at the top, and under a bunch of Heavy doors. When I pulled on it, they all came crashing down, which took what seemed like half an hour, but was only long enough for ALL of the volunteer employees who were wearing sensible, hard-toe shoes and cover-alls or Whatever to come and see me standing there in the midst of about 100 wood cabinet doors.

They said 'Do you need any help?' I said I would like to look at the Cabinet Door way up there on the top of the stack that was still standing, and one of the nice fellows got it down for me. But I didnt like it anyways. :)

And since then, they all give me this rolly-eye when I show up. Well, that does not stop me, and THANK GOODNESS because last time I found these 2 matching cabinet fronts, and I Just Know they are gonna turn out GREAT ! This one features a sleeping Kitty Cat, which has Cast a Spell on the Heart of this pretty, rennaissance style Witch.

Big, 18x24, sturdy and ready to hang, a real gem for the Witch Collector. Folk Art style, I plan on using the other recycled door to do a similar design, probably a Fairy Tale Witch, somehow holding a Big Red Apple !

And if those Volunteers would organize that Rebuild Store a little better, then I could find what I wanted a lot more easily.

'Moonlighting' Vintage Witch Folk Art Painting - NEW !!

in with a damp sponge. The stars are srubbies too. The background color is purples and white

with a medium blue on top. The semi-opaque black

lets the background colors show through a

little. Its a big 30" tall Vintage recycled Cabinet

Door. Like it??

Witch Painting ! THE Harlequin SISTERS - Folk Art on Recycled Framed Wood - Halloween Magic !

This is my new Witch Painting. I havent done any Witches in Ages, but this idea was really strong. The title is 'The Harlequin Sisters'. I'm totally happy with the colors. That means alot. The background design is other-worldy and a little spooky, which i also like. These Girls are capable of some Serious Magic!
