"I awake now, more treats?"
Scooby the pitbull mix pits her h and oh so innocently on the edge of the couch to convince you she is sweet enough for more sweets.

While we sleep off our turkey and ham, she'll be sleeping off her delicious duck 'n' sweet potato treats.

*November* 29th is the last day to order stuff from my Etsy Shop this year! After that, the only way to get ghosts prior to Christmas will be in-person at The Art Gallery at NWA Mall!

Polymer clay octopus figurines in various colors. Polymer clay ghosts, one with a cute black cat, one with pumpkins.

The set up (in which my Yautja cloak makes me entirely invisible, save for my shoes):
Table set up with the author's books, posters for Noumenon and Noumenon Infinity, and a station for her to live demo clay sculpting.

Today's the day! Pop-up book signing from 11am-1pm. But don't just come for me, come check out all the local art!

Some fancy animals I made recently.
Polymer clay turkey in many bright patterns, still mostly a brown motif. A goose and or peacock of some sort. Fancy polymer bird with a long fanning tail. Polymer clay tortoise with lots of patterns on its shell and a cute expression on its face.

Playing with the concept of "how thin can I make the clay before the clay protests?" And for the purpose of Christmas ornaments it looks like "stained glass thin" is, luckily, the answer.
Thin ornament in a pink blue and green stained glass window motif. Same ornament showing the light shining through to get the stained glass window effect.

Just all waggy-tail while I took this pic.

Everyone talks about cats and boxes, but Scooby has decided this box is hers.
One angle of Scooby the pitbull in a large cardboard box. She has a blanket, and a stuffed yellow bear-bee as a pillow. Different angle of the same sweet dog in the same box on a different day.

This is, like, crazy-sauce visibility for an Arkansan aurora.
Four pictures of the bright pink Aurora. Bands and all! Like a waterfall. Like a wave. Absolutely brilliant.

We met a very tall guy who seemed a little *too* ready to party.

Happy Halloween 👻🎃

Unlike Frankenstein, *I* would never spurn my monsterous creation.
A pumpkin carved into a silly monster with gourds as eye stalks and a pumpkin within a pumpkin for a octopus like beak. It also has little gourd feetsies.

One of the benefits/dangers of working at an art gallery is putting on a dress and going "Oh, I know what jewelry I'm buying today." Glass pendant by Becky Dunn.
The author in a blue Scooby Doo themed dress with haunted houses and scary trees. She wears a triangle glass pendant that is also blue and has a silver underlay that seems to mimic the branching of the trees on her dress.

Admittedly, having a hard day without her. 💔
Starbuck the black cat rolling around on her back with her feet in the air looking cute as all heck.

I'm in full "could a depressed person make this???" mode.
Several clay blue octopi pendants on a paper plate. They are all very silly.

We buried her at sunset today, in an underground tomb with many grave goods. Rest soundly, good kitty.
Picture of a whole dug with cement blocks and natural rock built up for a tomb. Starbuck's grave goods. Kick pillow, food, water, treats, a bit of scratcher, toys, catnip ball, laser pointer, and a coin for the ferry man.

I'm having a crap day in a crap week in a crap year, but this stuff? Autumn in a can. Pure comfort.
Very pretty can of black Apple's pumpkin chai cider. Beautiful pumpkin patch, leaves, and flowers on can.

Well, prognosis for Starbuck, aka Murder Cat, isn't great. Looks like we're counting our time left with her in months now. 💜💔💜

There's a wide range of wonky ghosts to choose from on the cheap! Discounts get deeper the more you put in your grab-bag.

And then of course there are plenty of the typically stylish ghost and ghouls up in the shop as well:
