She Is Woman...

Hear her roar! Make that hear her curse after prickin' her finger because she misplaced her thimble.

Here's a sneak peek at my first Firewood Folks© for 2009.
Betsy Ross will be listed on my Countryfolk Keepsakes website soon.
I'll keep ya posted.

No Longer Neked...

...and still the best of friends.

They are available on my Countryfolk Keepsakes website.

I'm No Longer Over The Rainbow...

Whew!! I traveled that yellow brick road from Deansboro to Oz and man are my "dogs" tired. I've got two corns and a blister now.

Heck, I don't know how Dorothy did it hoppin' around in those ruby red scoots of hers. I would have weathered better in a pair of earth shoes. All I need is some red sequins and a glue stick and I'd be skippin' around too.

Well folks, my one of a kind Wizard Of Oz Firewood Folks Series is complete. I truly had a blast makin' them. They will be listed individually on eBay this Sunday night(February 3rd).

I will be workin' on more Firewood Folks; but for now I think I'm goin' to get me a pedicure and take a load off.

Happy biddin' and God bless...

Oh and don't forget to feast your peepers on Zella-Lee and Hedy the Hare. They are my February offerin' on The Humble Arts.

"But Oz Never Did Give Nothin' To The Tin Man..."

"That he didn't, didn't already have. And Cause never was the reason for the evenin', or the tropic of Sir Galahad."

What in the heck was that Dewey Bunnell feller from the band America smokin' when he wrote those lyrics? It makes no sense but was a real toe tapper, wasn't it?

I remember my mama lovin' that song, so I saved my money and bought her the 45 (for 79¢) and gave it to her for her birthday. That along with some groovy wooden napkins rings. Gotta love the 70's.

Here's my Tin Man.

I'm workin' on the scarecrow next...

Many of y'all know I still get the willies when I see those flyin' monkeys! YIKES! *shudder* But I know they are important characters to the story.

So I was finally was able to bring myself to sculpt one of these lil' creatures. He will be offered with the Wicked Witch.

Mine isn't as scary lookin' but I reckon it will take years of therapy to overcome this one. I really do need my head examined anyway. :> )

She's Not Bald Anymore...

Here's a sneak peek at my February 1st offerin' on the Humble Arts.

Meet... Zella-Lee and Hedy the Hare.

They're (Almost) Off To See The Wizard...

Only two left to go. Man, I'm havin' so much dang fun makin' these! I will have the series complete and up for auction on Super Bowl Sunday night.

If y'all are an Oz fan or know someone who is; join my email list (on my website) and I'll give y'all a holler when they're ready!

The Calm Before The Storm...

I snapped this pic about an hour ago.

Its spooky but pretty. What's even freakier... NO SNOW!

A Sneak Peek At My #2 Firewood Folk for 2008...

She's as bald as a cue ball but I promise she won't be lookin' like Uncle Fester's twin when I get finished with her.

The poor thing is waitin' for my shipment of mohair to get delivered. So until then I'll keep a hat on her.

I can't show ya the rest of her because her clothin' would give her away.

But I'll give ya a lil' hint... She's a Jayhawks fan.

I'll keep ya posted.

Guess Who's Goin' On eBay Tonight?

So if y'all want youself your very own Firewood Folk©; click on the "My eBay" link on the upper right side of my page!

Ta-dah...

He's not neked anymore.

Jeb the Scarecrow will be listed on eBay tonight.

My Next Halloween Firewood Folk...

He's as neked as a Jaybird at the moment because I'm in the process of stitchin' up some clothes for him. In the mean time, I'd better throw a towel or a fig leaf on him.

A good thing he has no eyes yet 'cause he's rather modest and would be shocked if he knew how many folks were lookin' at him right now.

I'm also workin' on my dollie for Ava Grace's auction and stitchin' up some new dollies for the ol' website.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Autumn Is Fast Approachin'...

Ahhhh... My favorite time of year. I feel the crisp air, I smell the logs burnin' in the woodstove, I hear the crunch of the maple leaves under my feet, I taste a delicious Cortland apple just picked off the tree and I see the squirrels and chipmunks scurry about hidin' their acorns for the long winter ahead. Autumn touches all the senses.

I could walk these country roads for miles just takin' in the beauty of the changin' leaves around me. The good Lord above sure does have the best color palette, doesn't He?

To celebrate this wonderful season, I will be offerin' my one of a kind paperclay creation on The Humble Arts.
