Faery magic!

Sally J. Smith creates (or "finds") and then photographs incredibly beautiful masterpieces in nature, and quite often she stumbles upon faery houses! For our tour, I don't know what sort of treats she'll be offering but the decline of bat populations in her state of New York has inspired her to join us.

For an example of her works, take a look at the calendar she's created for 2012, available at http://pomegranate.stores.yahoo.net/w538.html.

Up from the Ashes

After having a few disappointing exchanges with artists, I was a bit down and worried that this little idea of mine was in jeopardy due to a lack of participation. Wow! Hallowe'en itself seemed in trouble as one artist admitted to putting up her CHRISTMAS tree on Hallowe'en night! YICKS!!! That's just so... scary!

But then a (literally) winged artist sent her happy note about wanting to take part and it made all the difference. I am absolutely delighted to be able to share Rebecca Dixon's incredible wearable art: airy, magical wings and stunning leather masks.
For a sneak peak, take a look at her website, http://www.upfromtheashespa.com/ and be amazed!

Another Artist!

What a way to end the day! I'm twitching with excitement to announce another "house" has been added to our Trick or Treat route! April Norton, of London, Ontario, will present her exquisite, expressive hand crafted porcelain dolls! I met April last year in September and still think of her beautiful work, I'm sure you'll all take great pleasure in seeing it too!
