Long Live the Queen

The time is drawing closer for the Artistic Halloween Queen's big October Giveaway.  You can enter to be a queen for a day and win prizes throughout the month of October - a prize a day for 31 days.  I'll post more details soon.
Meanwhile, here's my little pumpkin queen make-do for the give-away.  She started as an old metal soap/lotion dispenser.  She's basically complete now, though I may yet add a cloak and a few more jewels, depending on time and availability. 

(You can see her in progress in my previous blogs.)

Now what I need to work on are my photography skills - or lack thereof. :)  Any tips to get better photos?  I've read to take them outside, but I had to send this one in last night to the Queenly organizers, so daylight was out. 

Excuses, excuses...

Ok, I'll admit it. I'm a very bad blogger.

Most of the time, I blog on my writing site, but I've neglected this poor newly born baby since I started it last month.

However, I have an excuse. I do! I've been busy working on an item for the Artistic Halloween Queens October Giveaway on Facebook. Here's a preview of my little Pumpkin Queen in progress. She looks a little lumpy and grumpy right now, but give her time. Once she has on her ruff, collar, crown, jewels, and fabulous, curly red hair (ala Q.Elizabeth I), she'll be stylin'. :o)

Check out the Queens' Facebook page throughout the upcoming weeks to see how you can win prizes.

My other two groups, HA31 (HalloweenArtists) and SEHA (Society of Eclectic Halloween Artists) will also have some neat stuff coming soon, so they're worth a look as well.
