Adapt

Okay, first the nasty alien that answered the front door,
then Auntie Faye's three headed boy friend from Staten Island,
blue milk at dinner and now this little green boy inside
the vase. Tammy was beginning to rethink her decision to spend
the summer at Blooak Side Manor. It would be hard for her
to "Adapt".
He hee he!

Bunny Fields

Bernie often lost his bunnies during his magic shows.
He would simply make them dissappear. The problem was getting the
little stinkers to come back. Needless to say Bernie lost a few.
With the economy being what it is right now, he figured he'd
start growing his own his in backyard. You can come by
and get your freshly picked bunnies from 5 till 6 pm.
Just look for trail of magical rabbit piddles. hee hee hee!
Have a piddle free day!

Cracked

Soup Spoon could no longer contain his true feelings about Forktina.
He decided that they would tell Dish all about their torrid affair after dinner.
Of course Dish cracked at the news. They explained that they
were better suited for each others. What the couple didn't know was that
Dish wanted out of the relationship anyway. She had a handsome
Platter waiting on the side. Tuned in next week when Soup finds out
that Forktina is having a baby for Dr. Spork.
Hee hee hee!
Have a cracked weekend everyone!

It's a Wonderland Kinda Day

I love Alice in Wonderland! I love everything about it!!!
The story, characters and all. There are so many artist
who have illustrated these beautiful characters. I would love to
illustrate," Through the Looking Glass" one day. What story would
you like to illustrate??? Is it " Red Riding Hood", or maybe
"The Boy Who Cried Wolf"??? Whatever the story, be it your own
or one of the classsics! Give it a try and give yourself permission to
explore. You never know what you might come up with.
Have a Wonderland Kinda day!!!

Contagious

Natalie's sense color and fashion was very contagious.
Right down to the little red hat she wore.
Remember when it was okay to dress like your friends.
Then one day we grew up and suddenly having the same
outfit isn't cute anymore hee hee hee!
I'm still trying to figure that one out! hee hee hee!
Have a wonderful week!

If's Hierarchy

The marionettes now rested and in control of the situation would show
girly who was really in charge of the show!!! Once the hierarchy was in
place, the three got along nicely. You can catch their bit in Dee's bedroom
where she serves them ice cold lemon aid and oils their joints regularly.
No children were hurt while doing this illustration hee hee hee!!!

We Want YOU!!!

Okay, I gave the little marionettes a little break, but stay tuned
they will indeed be back. Are you and your imagination
in need of a good stretch or breathe of fresh air? Want to do some fun
and creative new things for your portfolio, get some inspiration, try a new medium???
Do you adore and love fairy tales and hilariousness through illustration????
My Soul Sister Loredan Avery of Loredanavery.blogspot.com and myself have created a new blog with all this
in mind.
We have teamed up to create a new blog entitled Wibbly Wobbly Woods. Think of Alice and Wonderland meets Willy Wonka, with a dash of Beatrix Potter.
Basically, it’s a fictional forest, where each member will take on a fantastical persona, ie: fairies, witches, gnomes, mushrooms, and the like. And every month, or whenever an idea strikes, there will be some sort of prompt, in which you will bring to life whatever comes out of your creative genius.
If you are a painter, sculpture, crafter, sewer, stitcher, practically any creative endeavour, please consider us.
We’d like to keep the blog small, so we’re only opening up 8 slots right now. And we ask that you only join only if you are EXTREMELY SERIOUS. Because we’re going to be putting a bazillion percent of ourselves into this blog, we ask the same from our members.

The rules are simple:
1) You must post. You can post as often as you like. You don’t have to do all the prompts, but you MUST post according to the prompt. And if you don’t, you’ve got to give a good reason why, like vacation, or you’re eye has fallen out and you’re still looking for it on the floor.
2) If you have things to sell, we ask that you don’t use our blog to do it. We’ll be happy to provide information on the blog about your things if anyone’s interested, absolutely.
3) You’re work has to be family oriented, G rating.
4) Sadly, if you don’t follow these rules, we’re going to have to banish you from the wood. It seems harsh, but we really are looking for ONLY serious and dedicated individuals who truly want to be part of something magical.

Please check us out at WibblyWobblyWoods.blogspot.com, and read our first prompt and a brief introduction. If you’re interested in being part of a creative supportive group, and want to have some Wibb Wobblian good times, please write us at wibblywobblywoods@gmail.com, and tell us why you’d like to be a fellow Wibb Wobblian. Also include any website and/or blogs that you may have.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

IF "Theater"

"My feet hurt like so badly." Said Mr. Hare. " I can't wait
until this kid goes to bed cause she has truly worn me out!" Said
Miss Clara. 3 shows in an hour took it's toll on the poor marionettes.
They'd planned to leave unless they were paid handsomely.
Will these two force the hand of the Theater owner???
Stay tuned! he he he!

What cha Doing?

I love fabric and I have loads and loads of it around the house. While visiting my parents I got to visit
a wonderful little Quilting store and spent some more money. I'm a collage freak. I collect all kinds
of fabrics and papers and use them in my artwork. While on vacation I created these little pieces of art.
Hope you like them.

I have a very good friend of mine Loredan Avery Hung. We are so much
alike it's scary! She tells the best stories ever! She creates what I call
word pictures and she inspires me in ways I can't even been to share.
LA this ones for you Baby Girl! I love you!

"Let Freedom SIng"

Hello Everyone,
Boy I feel like it's been forever since I posted anything. Yeah I know I've goofed of
from time to time, but that was all he he he! Thanks to each and everyone of you who came by
and left encouraging words and comments. Let me tell you they helped me get
through a lot of rough days! Words are so very powerful and I appreciate your
words from the bottom of my heart. Well, here is one of the projects that
I have been working hard at. "Let Freedom Sing" this book is one of
the first children's picture books I've ever done. Yes the very first.
"Ruby and the Booker Boys is for older children and not considered
a picture book. The book is written by myslef and Harriet Ziefert.
The Book is about the civil rights movement
and the people who brought change by letting their light shine.
As a matter of fact it was written to a tune that most of us learned
in Sunday called, "This Little Light of Mine" It
takes us right up to today with Mr. Obama as President of the United States.
This book is published under Blueapplebooks.com
It is the brain child of Harriet Ziefert. Harriet is brilliant!!!! The staff
over at Blue Apple Books is amazing! Each person is so talented and helpful.
I just didn't illustrated a picture book, I got to see how the whole thing
comes together. It's a lot of work that goes into creating great pictures
books for children. There are lots of people behind the scenes that work
to put the whole thing together. I was blessed to have the chance to
sit with these amazingly talented and gifted people for almost 3 months.
I learned so much from all of them. I'm working on my second book now
to be released in the winter. I will share pictures and updates with
everyone as we go along. To everyone of you,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Babette and Bunnywunny

Just wanted to post some fun this morning! Hope that you
