I was published in the Fall 2009 Issue of Celebrate 365: A Journal for the Ornament Enthusiast, as the collector’s feature. In my opinion one of the best issues ever!!!

I have also been published as an artist in Celebrate 365 (summer and fall 2010) and Cloth Paper Scissors (“A Haunting We Will Go Challenge”, Sept/Oct 2010). I love Halloween art, not the creepy scary kind, but the fun whimsical kind.

Many pieces in my collection are of my famous dog Twinkle. She served as the muse for many artists throughout the years. She has been reincarnated in ink, clay, and fabric by many well known folk artists. It is hard for them to say no, when they see her puggy face.

Many people think she is a French bulldog; however she is a pug-Boston terrier mix.

She loves seeing all the new works of art and in fact have given several of them a lick of approval. Look for new versions of Twinkle on my collecting blog: http://twinklestricksandtreats.blogspot.com

 

One of the new items shown in the pictures here is my Halloween tree. This Halloween tree is covered in over 50 Halloween ornaments, each an original and hand made by artists.

It will soon have a tree skirt made by my mother, who is a very talented seamstress! I guess that is where I have gotten my art abilities. Look for more photos of the tree also on my blog.

Happy Halloween!
