Atlanta Steampunk Exposition...it's fancier when you spell it out.

My hubby and I will be at Atlanta Steampunk Exposition this weekend. I will have my available sculptures with me, my inventory is a bit small because I have been working on several custom sculptures this month, but I have a few little guys for you. I will also have my Art prints, coloring/children's books and new Christmas cards available at our booth. My husband will have all his books there and will be signing them so make sure you stop by to see us. :)



Hope to see everyone at the convention.
Thanks for reading!

Here Comes Dragon Con!

Three months of sculpting my little fingers to the bones is coming to an end, but my work is not over yet. Now comes four crazy days of long nights, early mornings and Sci-fi and Fantasy Geekdom as far as the eye can see. Ladies and gentleman...This...is...DRAGON CON!!!
I never seem completely ready for this weekend, it comes up so fast, leaving me with a to-do list only a quarter way finished. BUT alas there is no stopping it, so me and my little creations step into the Artshow ready for the on coming Fandom Storm. It's not all work and no play though, looking forward to seeing all the awesome costumes, re-connecting with Con-buddies, the fun parties and convention swag, Oh yes the swag. :D But enough about the craziness of the show, you wanna know what Mystic Reflections is gonna have for you this year, right?!

I got another small army of cuteness for ya. These little darlings will be available for you at my vending table.

Little Caterpillars will one day be Beautiful Catterflies

Catterflies, little creatures that spend their days jumping from flower to flower, drinking the sweet morning dew and sunbathing on top of fluffy beds of pollen.
Catterflies come in an array of bright colors and enjoy lazily lounging in the warm summer breeze.

I hand sculpted each of this little guys out of polymer clay and use translucent polymer for their little wings.

Thank you so much for reading about my little creations. 

Keep checking my blogs and Facebook page for my newest pieces. 

P.S. I will be at Rev Fest this weekend and will have my prints with me, my husband will have some of his novels and will be signing them for you. Also my sister will be with us and have some of her wonderful handmade pieces and some crafting supplies available. So be sure you come on by to see us. :)

Searching for Treasures

My sister and her husband are expanding their little family through Adoption!

We are so very excited and they are getting everything ready but they need some help to make this possible. They are holding an Auction to help raise money. They have some great pieces for you to bid on, including a few pieces I donated to this awesome cause, a Teddy Bear handmade Sculpture and some matted Dragon Doodle Prints of mine. 

My husband has also donated signed copies of his 1^st and 2^nd Book in his Winston and Baum Steampunk Adventure book series, along with Prints of the cover art. But THAT’S NOT ALL…My sister is amazingly talented with a sewing machine and has made some incredible quilts for you to bid on, any of these will make super gifts for the Holiday :)

Don’t feel like bidding and just want to get a piece now? Well you are in luck, my sister has an Etsy Store where she sells her wonderful purses and handmade bracelets. 
Don’t want to buy anything but still would like to help, you can make a donation through the site Or if you can't donate, Share their page. Spreading the word helps just as much.

I cannot wait to meet the little angel that is able to Bless this sweet couple with your support, Thank you so much for helping a dream come true for this family :)

Thanks for reading!

Snow White Framed Sculpture

I've been slowly working on a new piece, it's also a fairly new concept for me too. Framed Sculptures. I have only done two before and they were about half the size of this one, so I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out...
Started by making a Polymer Clay Sculpture and some polymer clay apples, roses and little birds :)

After adding clothes and finishing details I then took an 8" frame and, with my hubby's wood working skills, made a wood back, hand painted and attached it to the frame.

Then attached all the sculpted pieces to the Framed back drop and Here she is! Snow White in the Falling snow. No idea why she is dressed like that out in the snow but it's pretty at least LOL :D

This piece is going to be displayed in my Bay Auction Gallery at the Dragon Con Art Show in September :)
I have a few other framed sculptures planned before Dragon Con so keep checking my Blog and Face Book page for updates :)

Thanks for reading Everyone!

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!!!!

Wow, a project that was anticipated to only take a few days ended up taking 4 weeks, Phew, what a task it was too BUUUUT I an FINISHED now, well at least with the coloring.

All I have to add for the Winston and Baum 2nd Book Cover to be complete is the Title text, then it will be ready to send to the printers and then my husband's 2nd Steampunk Adventure book will be available for purchase, EXCITING!!!
This one is called Winston and Baum and the seven mummies of Sekhmet, so the mean looking lady with the lioness face, hovering over everyone, that's Sekhmet. I imagine she is super cranky because Winston and Baum, with their sidekick goblin, Brackish, keep messing up her mass take over plans. The team have a penchant for getting in the way of supernatural villains, to find out more about them, you'll have to read the books :D

Sombulus Fantasy Adventure!

Hey everyone! I am super excited to share this with you all.
A wonderful artist, friend, and story teller, Christina Major is trying to get her adorable, fun, adventure web comic made into a book.
The webcomic is Sombulus, it's a light-hearted fantasy adventure that Christina writes and illustrates and she publishes a new page every Tuesday and Thursday at www.sombulus.com
She only needs a few backers on Kickstarter to reach her goal.
I'm also sooo stoked that she let me be a part of it. One lucky backer will receive... among loads of other super awesome prizes...a one of a kind piece by me, a sculpture based on her sweet creation Reggie the Dragon, HE SO CUTE!!!

So check out her kickstarter link here!

Cover Story

So Very excited to announce that I am COMPLETELY FINISHED with the Cover for my husband’s second book, Winston and Baum: and the Secret of the Stone Circle. It took me FOREVER due to the fact that I don’t draw guys that often or guns/mechanical things…and this drawing was just calk full of all that. It was also a bit of a chore to try and color it. I had no idea the amount of effort it was going to take… can’t be exerting that much effort, people might think I’m not lazy or something :P Anyway, it was all worth it because my hubby loved it and now his book is ready for sell. WHOOOOOOOOOT!!!

Winston & Baum is available on AMAZON.COM for the Kindle. So Check it out and let us know what you think :)

http://www.amazon.com/Winston-Secret-Stone-Circle-ebook/dp/B008MAT2ZE/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1342611221&sr=1-1&keywords=Winston+%26+Baum 

Thank you so much for reading.

I'm so Excited I'm Extracited! :D

SOOOOO EXCITED!!! My amazingly talented husband Seth, has just posted his 1st book! He has been writing short horror stories since he was a teenager and finally made the leap to novel. The book is a Werewolf story, but if you are looking for the love-sick-four-legged-fuzzy-tweens of the Twilight books, just keep on moving. There are no cuddly puppies in this story. Just Blood, Action and a pinch of the old myths and legends behind werewolf mythology.
Perhaps I’m a bit bias but I couldn’t put it down, it is a great read with likable characters and equally as likable villains…or unlikable rather :)
You can find his new book “Friedkin’s Curse” on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Friedkins-Curse-Werewolf-Terror-ebook/dp/B006NQBHWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324512368&sr=8-1
Check it out and Please leave a comment and let him know what you thought of it.

Thanks for reading everyone and Merry Christmas!
