This Is Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Boo Crew: Devi Delacour, Anna Sui, Lena Elena, Chocolat Blythe, and Fighting Milk.

Love a Cat

The Black Cat Appreciation Society wishes to remind you that every day is better with a cat. Especially a black cat! Visit your local animal shelter to find your new best friend.

This Blythe doll is Blythe Adores Anna Sui.

Harrowing

Aaaaahhh! RUN! No one wants to meet with a harrowing demise!

This is not my usual type of picture; even at Halloween I like to keep things light and cute, but I came across the phrase “harrowing demise” on a hand-painted poster at my local theme park (Busch Gardens, Williamsburg Va.) and it sparked my imagination. I looked it up just to be sure I understood the meaning of “harrowing”— it means “acutely distressing or painful”—so yes, that is exactly the type of demise that would best be avoided!  Picture of the poster inspiration below. This Blythe doll is Devi Delacour.

Fortune

Nervously, you sit down across from the fortune teller. She gazes silently into the crystal ball. Suddenly, in a loud voice she announces: “That which you seek is seeking you!” You gasp in surprise as you realize that your fortune is exactly what you had hoped for!

This Blythe doll is Zyanya Remembers, wearing her stock dress and Lady Panacea’s headpiece. The crystal ball is a snow globe-type thing, filled with clear liquid and very fine shimmering glitter that swirls beautifully when you shake the globe. I had to shake it repeatedly as I worked on this picture!

Favorite Time of Year

Great-Aunt Ima loved Halloween, so Jane always puts orange flowers on her grave in October. Luckily, Jane isn’t bothered by paranormal activity.

Jane is my Kenner Blythe doll.

Let’s Go!

“Get in, girls! We’re going hexing.”

These Blythe dolls are Simply Lilac, Chocolat Blythe, Fighting Milk, and Lena Elena (Middie). The background is a photography backdrop. I got this fabulous “potions and poisons” cart at Target a few years ago.

I Appreciate You

Take time to appreciate the little things in life.

This lovely Blythe doll is Brenda’s Extraordinary Day. I made her little blobby friend out of foam clay.
