Again been away way way way to long...won't make excuses other than to say..."Where the HECK does the time go"....that's the million dollar question!!!
We have been busy here at Creager Studios.... creating a little of this and a lot of that... trying to stay cool in our sweltering heat of the Arizona Desert.... but there is a change in the air...our mornings are actually bearable and down right coolish...YIPPPPEEE! It always gives hope that Fall is indeed just around the corner...waiting to slip in and make it's self at home....ahhhhh, I LOVE fall time....the only downside to fall in the lower desert region is the color changes..I REALLY miss that....must resort to taking slow strolls through Michaels Craft Outlet Store Fall Foliage isle with eyes partly closed and pretend I am in the north country walking down a tree lined country road....and with the smell of cinnamon candles on isle 6 hanging in the air.... makes me wanna spread a blanket, open a thermos of hot cider and read a book in my colorful surroundings...but I found out the hard way that Michael's frowns upon customers doing this....so I just have to hold the image all in my mind....
Instead we start to make 'Fall Art' .... all things Halloween and fun. Started the year with a new Miniature (1:12th scale) 'Zombie Dude' ....but this is no ordinary Zombie.... this dude prefers carrots to brains ....a Veggie Dude if you will. But he is Zombie non the less.....
And the first of Our Original haunted Ghost Shadow Boxes ...that we started creating years and years ago...and in doing this one it made me realize it has been about 5 years since we made the last one....YIKES! So needless to say he was fun to work on and makes me wanna do another....
This guy is 'Count Leopold Mordecay Von Ravensthorne....and his Pet Bat 'Guzzler' ' a Long Gone Vampire who's portrait (and possibly him) still hangs in Ravensthorne Manor.

Both are newly listed on EBAY....
Lets see...I also 'redid' our Miniature Gallery on our web site this summer, worked on lots of 'house' projects.... and made a few interesting purchases that were to good to pass up....more to follow on that...
Great to be back....
Hugs to All
