My swamp orphan didn't turn out how i liked her to be, so i put her in the closet LOL! But i made another doll, no swamp one, but a partly jointed doll (she can move her legs, knees and arms). Her name is Ashley. She's made out of airdry clay and apoxy sculpt.

Spring is comming soon...the darkness is falling later and later... the sun warms us up...bit by bit..
Little flowers peep their heads oud of the grass...
So, that'll be a wonderfull season to make lots of orphans, don't you think so?!? ;-)
I would love to see a lot of new creations of you guys!
I'm sorry i didn't create something for the februari chalenge.

Hi there dear ones! I haven't started a chalenge yet. I don't know the movie Dark Shadow, so i have to google for some information, but instead i made this little orphan boy Timmy. My first boy till now! ;-) It was fun to create him!
He's so sad, cause he wants it to be Halloween again! All dressed up in his Bear costume, waiting for someone to give him some candy.

I finally got myself an Etsy Shop! Come check it out if you dare ;-)

First Quarter Challenge-DARK SHADOWS

2011-02-06T11:49:00.001-05:00

THE CREEPY ORPHAN SOCIETY IS ROCKING IN THE NEW YEAR...PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE LATE POST...THE Creepy Orphan Society's FIRST QUARTERLY CHALLENGE IS IN THE THEME OF

DARK SHADOWS

REMEMBER THESE?

I REMEMBER YEARS AND YEARS AGO, WATCHING THIS SERIES (THE REMAKE) ON FRIDAY NIGHTS. I wouldn't make any plans because I had to be home to watch this. Ben Cross was absolutely amazing in this series, and then they cancelled the show.

Now we are gearing up to see the gorgeous Johnny Depp and the amazing Tim Burton to put their magic onto the big screen.

So, won't join the Creepy Orphan Society and create a piece of art in the theme of DARK SHADOWS. I believe that I will be making an Art Doll. However, things could change. That is the beauty of art and challenges...do whatever comes to you.

I hope you all join in on this Challenge and let's see what we all come with.

Enjoy and here are few pics of the dream team!

ENJOY

Children in the Attic CHALLENGE...is here. I have finally taken some pictures of her and she wasn't happy about it. LOL

I hope you enjoy her...her name is Marti. She has been living in the attic for many years and has developed a knowledge for reading people. However, since she has been locked up in the attic, with little or no friends at all, she predicts the future for unseen events, and thus, she tells me...we are heading into some rough times....hmmmmmmm let's see what happens or if her readings are DEAD ON!

Cheers!

Creepy orphan tree

2011-01-06T21:26:00.000-05:00

Boy am i ever late...creepy orphan trees was our December challenge, and although i finished wayyyyyy back in october...i completely forgot...to post Sylvia...our newest orphan...she prefers swinging in the swing in the front yard instead of spending her days behind the doors of the orphanage, but little does she know whats learking just beyond the edge of the property and within the bowels of the orphanage in the dark corners and under the stairwell, not to mention within the walls of the time worn attic...peeking at her from the underworld, a portal that unknown to the elders who purchased and built this massive building to house these most unfortunate souls, had no idea...check back with us often at the creepy orphan society as the details of the unfortunate victims...oh i mean children unfold and each story written...those who reside here begging to be adopted, dying...to leave this place of horror...won't you invite them into your home.....MAAAAAAAAA * thats my scary laugh* until next time...hugs...christen

Wishing you all...A Very Scerry Christmas!!..;-D

2010-12-19T20:39:00.004-05:00

OK here is Trish she is a "Normal" kid

who likes OK loves the kids at CKO House.

She is the sweetest doll I have ever made.

She will have real wool hair in each pigtail.

Growing up I was always a outsider like the cko kids, and in Miss Nangle's

third grade I met Tricia Collins and she was bff all through school and through

2 children. She was the normal kid who kept me grounded and made me feel

good about myself. She was normal, parents, house, siblings, clothes, smart, etc...And she was my friend

So making this doll came easy I just thought about Tricia and growing up

with a great friend. I did stupid stuff but always thought about it before I did

something because of her. She was the voice of reason in a world of chaos for me.

Thank you Tricia you may not of thought of it as anything that big of a deal

but it was for me and always stuck with me too.

First SNOW FALL OF THE SEASON!

2010-11-26T08:13:00.000-05:00

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL YOU CREEPY ORPHANS OUT THERE...I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL DAY WITH FAMILY AND EAT LOTS OF TURKEY! LOL

JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND POST SOME PICTURES OF OUR FIRST SNOW FALL HERE IN PA. WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY IT WAS AND IT SNOWED ON THANKSGIVING DAY.

ENJOY AND SEE YOU SOON...KEEP CREATING YOUR CREEPY ORPHANS FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!

Maggie is one of the children who reside at CKO House. She was born without legs which has never effected her personality at all. She is a determined, strong young lady, who was given to us by the hospital she was born in. See her mom left her at the hospital, she being so young, alone, and scared. She knew she could never be able to give Maggie everything she would need as a special kid in this world. But her one request in a letter left for the nurses was to please tell her, "that her name is Maggie Flannigan and she will do great things". Maggie will do great things with everyone that comes in contact with her. I know because I have taken care of her here with me at the CKO House. Im the mother of sorts here, and I guarantee each and everyone of my children here are all very special.

Maggie is listed at my Artfire shop now..

more to come muwahahaha

November/December Challenge-Creepy Orphan Tree

2010-10-31T11:16:00.000-04:00

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Well, I know our next challenge isn't due until December 31, 2010...but since my schedule is going to be absolutely nuts, I wanted to make sure I got my challenge piece done. So...Here it is!

The Creepy Orphan Society-Challenge- Creepy Orphan Tree, The Keeper of SOULS by the CROW!

She is a Mixed Media Piece. I used an old cigar box and turn it into her tree. I used air dry clay for the molds of souls hanging on the tree. I sculpted the tree out of floral wire and attached it to the cigar box. The Keeper is made out of an old barbie doll body, floral tape, air dry clay and I hand stitched her Tibetan Lamb Hair into a wig. Lots of mixed media techniques created the inside of the cigar box.

SHE IS THE KEEPER OF SOULS

Until Next Time...

Cheers!

Another Creepy Art Piece

2010-10-26T10:51:00.000-04:00

Hello my creepy Orphans, I wanted to share a project that I just finished. This is a birthday present for a friend. So, I am posting here first and not my blog yet. I don't want him to see it before he receives it. This is Death wears Horns, my friend loves skeleton themed art. So, I dreamed up this fun guy for him. He is a paper clay skull and poly clay hands over a wire and wood armature. His cloak and covering are decorative papers and he has a netting called appropriately "Creepy Cloth" for his shroud like drape. He carries his coat of arms around with him so there is no mistake of what he is all about.

This is a closer view of his face and upper body. Anyway, this is the last of my skull heads I had made earlier this year. So, I am off to try and get other projects done for fall shows and my holiday studio open house. Hope you all are having a creepy fun Halloween month.

Artspell Workshop Coming Soon!

Here's My October Challenge

2010-10-23T10:11:00.000-04:00

Hi There Creepy Orphans, I wanted to share my newly finished Morbid Curiosity challenge. He is the Great horned Boney Bird. He's a scavenger that collects bones to make very curious shrines. He is a poly clay head and hands on a wire and wood armature. I used batting and fabric strips to build up his body. Then I covered that with a black decorative paper. He was then adorned with some black netting and pink faux fur to complete his creepy look.

This is the full figure. I used a fantail willow branch for his tail.

Here is a closer view of his upper body. Thanks for this unusual challenge. It took me quite some time to actually come up with this guy. I am just not used to thinking in a creepy mode. Until next time.
