Distractions or Senility can be FUN!

Looks like a chanterelle to me, but maybe that's because it's yellow. I like it, whatever it is =)

Todays post are the new thingies I have ready for painting & basing: an updated Witch's cap, three new Mushrooms, & all the new supporting cast mushrooms. Nothing exciting, but progress nonetheless:
Domed bases ready for scenicing:


The new stuff awaiting painting:


The Witch's Cap has developed a personality:


Three new Mushrooms:






AND after finishing all the supporting cast mushrooms, I now have some more to do up:


Until whenever. :clown:

Thanks, margaret! I am happy you like it whatever it is...I make up the names.

Three new Mushrooms & a bunch of supporting cast mushrooms are now ready for basing










Not an Earth shattering update, but not all that shoddy for an Old Man.

This happy little Mushroom was sent to Friend Dinos in Athens several years ago. He is part of the Festive decorations again this year:


God bless us, everyone!

[deafnala]

The Flying Jack-O-Lanterns are finally painted up & ready to base


AND some small mushroom are now in the ready to base stage as well:


Until next time whenever that is.

[deafnala]

I did up some small mushrooms that I had sculpted quite a while ago. I'm working in reverse on these; i.e., normally I do the big Mushrooms then make small ones of the same sort. This time I am planning on making a couple/few big Mushrooms to match the small ones:




Have the MERRIEST of Christmases! God bless us everyone! 

[deafnala]

Well things are coming along. I have a bunch of things hovering on the brink of completion with only some flocking & flowers to go:












There you go. Next post should have all these pieces finished & possibly some of the remaining Mushroom Witch closer to completion.. Until then...whenever that is.

I LOVE the vibrant color schemes! They all work, so well together. I also love the cohesiveness of the whole: the color scheme, the sculpting style, the whimsy, and the fun. Thank you, for sharing your art with us. Cheers!

Thank you for your kind reply, sgtslag. I am delighted you are enjoying The Stuff.

AND I finally have some completed pieces to show; the Flying Jack-O--Lanterns & The Spook to be precise.
Seen here on my worktable:










I somehow missed doing The Spook on the worktable, but he can be seen here in The Spooky Woods:


















As things get done, you will be subjected to further photos. Until then...whenever that is.

It was a lovely, sunny, if some what cold day yesterday AND a productive weekend!
I now have wrapped up all the Mushrooms & all but three of the Witches that I had started last year.
Part I: Here they are on my worktable:






















Part II in The Spooky Woods will be along in a couple of minutes. The pic are taken, but I am posting in two parts on a few different forums. Save any comments until the second batch of pictures appears.

AND Part II: in The Spooky Woods:




























There you go! SO until next time...whenever that may be.

It was a fairly productive weekend. In addition to a bunch of new toadstools, I got a good start on the Faerie Wing Witch's base & sculpted, base coated a new type of Mushroom; he looks some where between the Creature from the Black lagoon & Frankenstein's Monster.
The Mushroom from the Black Lagoon:


The Faerie Winged Witch's base:




More photos when things progress...be warned!

[deafnala]

I had, for me, a fairly productive day today; i.e., I started, finished, based, & took photos of the new style ambulatory Mushroom aka The Mushroom from The Black Lagoon.
Seen here on The Spooky Woods photo stage:








That is it for January!

[deafnala]

Today, having overcome inertia, I finished the base for the Faerie Witch.








Now I just have to finish the Witch.



Until nextime...whenever that is.

[deafnala]

I finished another of the Mushroom Witches last night. Today I took some photos:










Marty directed the shoot:


Until whenever.

[deafnala]

I finished the third Mushroom Witch yesterday & took these photos just now:







AND the three Witches together:


Now I have only the Witch with the butterfly wings to do. Then on to YET MORE madness. Until then.

Love the moon and stars mushrooms!

 Thanks, margaret. I am delighted you like them.

The Faerie Witch is finally done. She is the last of the work in progress pieces that I had sitting on the bench:










Now on to new strangeness.

[deafnala]

Plodding along, I now have a bunch of new stuff ready for basing. In addition to the thingies shown here there are another twenty small toadstools:






We see what I can accomplish over the weekend...if anything.
