Time for a break!

I've been working on a million monsters and it's driving me nuts...I'm taking a short breather! I have bagged monsters for Halloween at the bus stop and in my son's class.I got some new clay and paint...I still need my bigger boxes but I'll have to wait for another sale or two.



 
There has to be at least 30 monsters to finish! Hopefully Sunday I'll have them all done.

Bigger Monstrous Baubles sets

I decided to make a couple larger sets of Monstrous Baubles they'll be the "Monstrous Communitites". I'm making three for now....lack of clay for the bigger monsters. I started two for my kids and the one I did I'm not happy with so I'm re-doing it and painting it in a Halloween pumpkin patch theme for my younger son.My oldest requested a cemetery and he loves it.



So I'm sticking to the themes I came up with before and maybe adding in Flower Fields too.....the design will be pretty cool!I should have one listed in my shop around the weekend time.

Update

I am almost finished with the cotton candy farm...the inside needs waxed then I'll have pictures up for you all to see.

After I'm finished with it and the four mini communitites I'll be working on "trick" monsters for trick or treat goodie bags...then some monster elves for Christmas stocking stuffers...I'm stoked about making those! My two FAVORITE holidays Halloween and Christmas...I even have a birthday in between woo hoo!

If you have an idea for a monster set feel free to message me in my shop or here on the blog itself!

Ideas

So I have an awesome idea for people to pick a themed large monster set.....I'm thinking of the themes...my oldest son has requested a cemetery scene box and I'm excited because I LOVE cemeteries and I'm glad my son does too....I'm sure my youngest probablly does as well.

Some themes I am thinking of..
1 Halloween
2 Flower Town
3. Garden Tea party

I already have a Cotton candy farm in the making soo that will be an option too. Mayke a Cake Land would be neat too? I'm going to brainstrom later one.

I have a craft show tomorrow yay! I hope I do well.

It's been awhile

Hey everyone! I've been busy creating new things....Come and check out the new toys I'm working on.......My "Monstrous Baubles".


http://www.etsy.com/shop/cartooniecatdoodles?section_id=11613939

I have many,many more to make too!

Ok so heres an update on these Monstrous Baubles.
Their all made from clay,their faces are drawn on and sealed with a special wax called microglaze which is amazing!

Their all super tiny around 1/16s of an inch and some are an inch....(they may remind you of polly pockets) which I was much greatly influenced by since I LOVED them when I was little and still do now.They come in small paper mache box homes I paint these boxes and draw three rooms for the inside.All sealed with the microglaze wax.

There are around 20 some different sets already...I am now working on "scene" boxes. These are the larger box citites,anbd towns.I paint the inside and add felt grass.I picked up some of those awesome deocorate your own pencil boxes and they were only 99 cents each....the lid opens and looks like the ground in these...I'll post update photots soon! I'll be making a large Spook City one soon...

You can get mini Communities which are 8 each set they come with two monsters and one home and felt grass lawns.





And toy get mini Spook City sets as well.....I'll post more later on!
