Christmas Pixie Elves

Its been a busy few weeks and sadly I've had not a lot of time to create but I did manage to fins some time to make some new Art Doll Brooches and this years Christmas Cornish Pixie Elves.

As you can see from the photo below there are two new witch Art doll brooches and also two Sugar Skull brooches which have a paper flower in their hair. The two Sugar skulls are already in my Etsy shop and the witches will be available soon.

For the Christmas Pixie Elves I painted a family set in teal and added a snowflake decoration in white.

I also painted a large Pixie Elf with a Santa in the shape of a crescent moon, I was going to paint a bell on the end of his hat but decided that a star would look nicer.

The next Pixie Elf I painted I decided to paint a snowman but this one is different to the snowmen I have painted before.

I have a busy weekend with a show in the Artist Limelight group on Facebook it will feature a few halloween and maybe the christmas Pixie elves. Details will be on all my social media over the weekend including a link to the group. 

Until next time

School Holidays and Pixie Elves

Its been a busy few weeks as it has been the school holidays, in fact girlie and the lad went back to school this morning and it is a bit quiet. We had plans to go a few places but because they are teenagers they didn't get up until midday or later so we had to shelve those plans. But I did manage to get them going twice and we made a visit to Launceston Castle.

They hadn't been there since they were at Primary school so it felt like they had never been before and they seemed to enjoy it. In fact I even managed to get a selfie at the top of the keep with them.

The second trip out was to Boscastle and a quick visit round the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, they had an interesting exhibition on about Halloween past and present, worth a visit if you get the chance.

Because it was the holidays I tend not to get much work done plus I had the added problem of my Muse / Mojo / Inspiration and general get up and go had disappeared somewhere. But it did come back for a short while and it was enough for me to make four new Cornish Pixie Elves.

Runestone

 Runic and Runestone I enjoyed making, they both have runes written on them in silver and gold. Each one has different Runes which are Old English and Viking Runes.

The next two Cornish Pixie Elves are large elves and had been in my sketch book for a little while and it felt right to make them.

Cupcake

I've always wanted to make a cupcake pixie elf, I'm pleased with how it turned out and I suppose it would make a great birthday gift with the candle in the cupcake.

Henge


The Henge started off as an idea of a stone circle and I thought a black silhouette would look good. 

I have a few new ideas beginning to swirl around my head so I'm going to grab my sketch book and doodle before they disappear. 
Until next time.
