This is one of my most favorite creations to date! Reminiscant of his vintage cousin, this whimsical black cat is handsculpted from paperclay without the use of molds. He sits atop an old mill spool with a ruffled collar of homespun and black beaded trim. His face is handpainted with curly wire whiskers. He reminds me so of my grandmother's house on Halloween! His greatest feature is his party hat. It's made from bristol board and is completely handpainted with acrylics in a wonderful ghost, pumpkin and black cat motif. It's also accented with vintage black and orange tinsel. He measures approx 20 1/2" tall.
Vintage Black Cat is a Peach*Street*Primitives Original and is a One of a Kind. It will come signed and dated directly from the artist. Wishing you and yours a Purrrfect Halloween!

The Pumpkin Witch saves a Frog
Hazel Ruth is quite frankly worried about the state of things today! She keeps up with the news and has heard about the dwindling frog population. This is devestating news, especially for a witch! Hazel Ruth takes these kinds of things seriously. After all, pumpkins might be next!
Hazel Ruth is made from color washed osnaburg. She has handdrawn eyes and mouth and needlesculpted nose. My frog, who is resting quite safely in her right arm, is also made of color washed osnaburg with needlesclulpted mouth and hand drawn eyes. His maker didn't miss a spot! He's perfectly shaded from head to toe, he even has handdrawn toad spots and webbed feet!
Hazel Ruth is rag stuffed for a nice weight feel and to allow her to sit easily on her own. She is also made to hang, if you prefer. She is wearing a wool felt witch hat accented with ribbons, tinsel and rusty bells. She is wearing a quilt shop fabric dress with matching pantaloons, all accented with wool and tinsel trimmings. Her rhinestone brooch is her favorite shade of toad green. She has handpainted stockings and maryjane's accented with tiny rusty bell buttons. Her arms are wired for poseability and she is carrying her magic wand. Her special wand was made using a wooden dowel from and elder tree, two fallen stars covered in orange glass glitter and accented with black tulle and tinsel. The most special part about her wand is the little slip of aged paper reminding her of the magic word she'll one day use to restore the failing frog population - Abracadabra!
Hazel Ruth is a One of a Kind Peach*Street*Primitives Original. She will come to you signed and dated. She measures approx 23" tall and her frog friend is approx 6" tall. Please contact me if you'd like to see additional pics!

Outta Time....
Where does the time go?? August is already half gone! This month my only child turned 5, I started my 3rd year as a preschool teacher and I did two things I've never done before: I sent my child to Kindergarten and .....I drove away. We both cried. Now, if that isn't enough to ruin the creative mood add to that the big "5" birthday bash, homework and lesson plans and you have no time left.
I had grand plans for the Merc and eBay this month. I just wasn't able to pull it all off in time! So, be sure to check out my eBay and my blog at http://peachstreet.blogspot.com often as I will adding these belated creations very soon!
Wishing you free time to be with and to do all of things you love! Happy August!
