LED Light Up Trick or Treat Clock

I just listed this grandfather style mantel/wall clock on ebay.  It stands 24.5 inches tall and 11 inches wide.  This is the biggest clock that I have done so far.





I removed the pendulum that was in the inside and added a spooky graveyard scene that has been hand sculpted in polymer clay. The background is painted to look like a night sky with a full moon, bats and an old haunted house.




LED lights have been hardwired in so they come up through the wood base behind the tree, Jack O’ Lantern, and ghost to light the scene up and give it an eerie glow. The ghost also glows in the dark. There is a switch on the side of the clock so if it is hung on the wall the lights can still be turned on and off.



The clock face has 4 glow in the dark polymer clay ghosts in each corner.



At the bottom of the clock there are 19 hand sculpted Jack O’ Lanterns that totally go around the front and sides of the clock. The sides of the clock are also embellished with clay leaves on hand painted vines that are done in an antique gold.

Thank you for looking!  More to come soon!

Just Checking In!

Finally able to sit down and update my blog. I know, you’re thinking that it’s about time! I have a lot of fun new ideas for 2010 and I can’t wait to get started! I would also like to show-n-tell some wonderful pieces of art that I received from some very talented artists!!

Chris with Designs by CK titles the first piece “Hallomas Train”. I saw this listed on eBay and knew that I just had to have it! Not only does it have both Halloween and Christmas, but also the train reminds me of the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter series. I just love it!!



And that’s not all, to my surprise and delight there was another piece that he sent to me, “VampJack “. Another cool postcard!!! I have wanted one of his Halloween postcards for a while now and am so excited to have two!! The detail in his work is just awesome!!



I was also fortunate enough to be one of the winners in a blog giveaway given by Robert with Halloween Fanatic. I did not know what I was going to be receiving until it arrived and was very excited to see that it was a postcard done of an owl. I just love owls and he did an amazing job, as you can see!! I can't wait to get all these framed and hung up!



As for my art, I should have some pieces ready to list soon. I have a couple pieces that I am relisting and I am also revamping a few with something new I wanted to try. I am also going to start listing what I have for sale over on the top right hand side of my blog. That way it will be easier to see what I currently have available. It will be either what I’m listing on eBay or for sale directly from this blog, so keep checking back!

Happy Holiday Season!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season!!

I also would like to share a cool pic of a stocking that my sister had crafted out of soda can tabs. I thought it was rather clever, to much work for me though! I'll just have to ask for one for Christmas (hint hint)! Her blog is The Art of Can Tabistry if you would like to check it out or to see more tabistry projects that she has created.



Also, if you hurry over to the Because We Believe Art Blog you may still have a chance to win a blog giveaway. A few first winners didn't respond to emails so there are some prizes left!! Here is the ornament that I made for the giveaway:





After the holidays I will be listing Halloween pieces for sale again, so keep watching!!
Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas!!
