Even Dragons like to give something back

Each year Dragon Con http://dragoncon.org/index.php holds a Charity Art Show auction and so far I have been able to participate in the past three years.  It is always so fun to create something and then see how far the bidding can go. We always raise a good bit for the Charity and have a lot of fun in the process. This year I’m especially excited about it because the theme seemed really neat… “Fantasy Baseball” the artists get to decorate baseballs and then they are auctioned off at the Art Show Voice auction with the proceeds going towards this year's Dragon Con Charity:  The Georgia Chapter of the ALS Association or better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. http://dragoncon.org/charity.php 

So since I’m really loving my little Dragons this year and they always enjoy helping out the community :) I decided they should get to be represented on the baseball. They have painted “Dragon Con” a crossed the front and are currently working on the date…well at least some of them are working LOL

What do you think?

Eeep I can’t believe the Convention is only a few days away, even though I have been attending for 5 years now, I still get very anxious the closer it gets. I will have so many new pieces at my booth. Including the Steampunk Myxie Dragon Pals, making their very first art show appearance. So make sure to stop by and wish them lots of luck :) See you all at the Con!

Here it is again, Dragon Con http://dragoncon.org/ is right around the corner. So I have been steadily working on pieces to fill my booth and cranking out a ton of my newest (and funiest to create) additions to the Mystic Reflections Family, Steampunk Dragon Pals!  These little guys will be making their 1^st Art Show appearance at this year’s Dragon Con, they are nervous and excited :)

I have all new Myxies for this year too, they will be for auction in the Art Show Gallery. I will also have Original Paintings and Scratch Art in the Gallery.

As always, I will have a whole bunch of prints in a few different sizes at my booth and then, of course the Dragon Pals. AND Mystic Pendants which will include some other new additions, the Steampunk Dragon Pocket Watches. 

So I have a lot of new fun pieces this year and am so ready to get the DRAGON CON FUN STARTED!!! So make sure to come see me at my booth and to say hello to the little Dragon Pals…they will have so many little dragonflies in their stomachs and will need the support LOL :P

Can’t wait to see you all there! Thanks for reading.

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 :)

This one's for the Birds

Good Afternoon Everyone! So I haven’t accomplished much arting this month with the move'n'all but since we are finally getting settled into our new home, I should be able to start on it soon. I’m really looking forward to sculpting again.

Anyway I did find a few minutes of free time (during work, don’t tell Shhhh :P) to sketch a couple new ideas. It will probably be sometime before I can add color to them but I really think they came out cute. I would like to do a few more and make this a small series of pieces. I’m thinking of calling them “Bird Watchers” for obvious reasons :)

Thanks for reading, keep checking my blog for updates.

So Much yet so Little Time

I’ve been making a lot of progress lately. My husband and I just bought our first House WHOOT! and we will be moving in soon. With all the packing and unpacking that goes with moving into a new place, not to mention the painting and a million other things we will be doing, I am trying to get out as many Myxies as possible before the move. Dragon Con, the largest SiFi Convention in the Southeast, is coming up in September, and I want to have plenty of inventory by then. Even though I have made a nice dent in my to do Myxie list, I still have about 12 Myxies to complete. Considering each Myxie takes 2-3 days, I’m trying to hurry or I won’t be able to get them all finished. I have some really Fun Myxies planned too, Steampunk Witch, Pirate, Geisha, just to name a few. Also I plan on making many more Dragon Pals, including more Steampunk Dragon Pals. Going to try and get at least 2 more Myxies done before June…only have a few more days to do it in too…then I may take a few weeks off to get all the moving and house stuff out of the way. But I’m hoping all of that won’t take too long and I’ll be able to get back to sculpting. So there’s just a little update on things to come, Keep checking my blog for updates. Thanks for reading :) ~Caralyn

Oh that’s Creepy

Hello everyone! I have another Myxie to show you all. She was soooo much fun to make. She’s a little forgotten toy Ballerina, one of the best parts was adding the holes and dirt to her poor little tutu. Then sculpting her some joints and slumping her to one side gave the perfect touch, not to mention making her a bit creepy. Can’t have a good Forgotten Toy without the Creepy Aspect.
As for her seat, from the beginning I knew I wanted her to sit on a little Alphabet Block but I was having a hard time finding one, I just needed one, so I decided to just make it myself. With the right paint, clay can look a lot like wood :) So What do you think?

Thank for reading!
