We're finally back from exhibiting at the Hallowbaloo in Washington! It was a long journey's drive across beautiful mountains and valleys, but we made it to and fro, thanks to JP and his mastery behind the steering wheel! THANKS to ALL my dear collector friends who made their own trek out to see us and adopt some special Halloween folk art characters. It was a pleasure to see you! It was also a treat to reconnect with fellow Halloween artist friends and meet others that I had only chatted with online. Big Hugs to the guys that wove the big Hallowbaloo web and created a memorable day for both artists and collectors alike! And, another big thanks to my parents for hosting us at their lovely home and for letting me borrow all those cool antique props! There's no way we could have stuffed all that into our VW beetle! hehe! As shows are always such a frenzy from A to Z, I did what I could to document the event from behind the camera. Below is a small collection of images along with a couple of photo collages that offer a glimpse of the Halloween magic at the Hallowbaloo. ENJOY....
(And don't forget.... I'll be exhibiting at the 10th Annual Halloween Trunk Show in Denver on October 10th! I hope to see you there!)
* That's me smiling big before the start of the show!
* A trio of jacks with overhead bats topped off my mom's cupcake stand. These guys were popular, and fortunately I made a few more for the Denver show! (I still need to paint them!!)
* More of my Halloween originals were displayed in rustic antique cubbies...
* BOO! An original ball ghost character and other sweet friends awaited collectors...
* An arrangement of my pressed paper illustrated owl ornaments were popular at the show! I made a few more for the Denver show too...
* Here's another peek at my Halloween folk art originals, perched and waiting to meet and greet!
* That's me and mom all decked out for Halloween! She was truly donning the orange and black from head to toe! After all, she's my Halloween Mommy as I was born on October 31st!
* JP sneaks a peek from behind the spooky window!
* More Halloween characters brought smiles and delight!
* Here's one of two collages, depicting fellow Halloween artists and their creations... I sure hope I captured everyone!
* And this second collage captures more of the enchanting creations...
* Lastly, here's a peek from Friday night after we set-up! Mom & Dad, living just minutes away, came to help!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all of YOU!
