know, ANY type of face, nature, the face of a flower, photography,

Thank you.
Oh I have been so busy with stuff. LOL
Other than fog we have been having very nice weather. Cold at night but the days are sunny.
I'm in the processes of making clay bells for another special order so today's faces are not mine.
Hope you enjoy.
And this is my youngest grandson and his lovely fiance.
He is in the Air force and going to University to become an MD. I'm so proud of him.
For those of your who don't live in the US and left me somewhat of downcast comments. I would like to share that the democrats didn't just win the senate and the congress seats.
In each state that has been dominated by republicans the democrats also won state seats. Dems clinched a majority of governors for the first time in 16 years. Democrats secured at least 12 new legislative chamber majorities in the 2026 midterms and captured at least 300 seats previously held by Republicans. Most notably, they picked up enough seats in both statehouse chambers in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to secure trifecta control in those states, some for the first time in decades.
Nevada's 2nd Congressional District created in 1981 will flip to Democrats for the first time ever!
The state of Georgia!!!!! Women taking over.
Ohio dems won every state seat except auditor. The repeblican supermajority was broken by dems and the gerrymandering that republicans did backfired on them. Marcy Kaptur keeps her seat.
Ohio is now a blue state.
Can we talk Texas?
She beat Abbot
Governor, Lieutenant governor U.S. Senate, US House. Texas is Blue!!!!
But do you want to hear it from some who speaks it much better than I can write it? Check the video.
Yes, there is a LOT of work for Dems. The "thing" and his butt buddies have destroyed democracy as we knew it. The blatant corruption, the lies, the caring only for the mega rich have brought the US to its knees. But now there is hope! There is light! And the Dems that have been elected know that they have to make it better. Nicole
SITAR is about ANYTHING art. Your art, someone else's art, writing, photography,
the art of cooking, the art of sewing and textiles. Sharing historical
art, street art, a story about art. Do you have a question or need help
with art? Write a blog post and link it up here. We will all try to help
with it. My only rule is that if someone asks for critique it must be done with generosity and consideration. This is a place of learning, encouragement and inspiration.
I'm writing this on Saturday evening waiting to see if any trick or treaters show up at my door. Of course since it is the night of nights I have Halloween art. These are all from Pinterest. I promise not too creepy.

I have finished all of the special orders except one. The lady that wants this spirit stick, explained that she wants it in a holder for her Altar. I told her no problem. I didn't want to use my DAS clay for the holder so I made some cold porcelain. It's really easy to make and drys hard without keeping it damp to dry.
The triangle strips are from an old painting I did. OK, not the whole painting. I really didn't like the painting so I cut the canvas and made the triangle for this spirit stick.
The top has 2 crystals embedded into the ceder stick.
I'm very happy with this. I even got my hands to do a bit of beading.
It's been awhile since my last batch of shrunken heads,
So, I dragged out one of my totes labeled "Skulls & Skeletons" and started piling things onto the table. I'm going to be honest with you, I have a HUGE stash of macabre oddities. Opening these bins is like early Christmas for a weirdo. ( yeah me) I completely forgot some of what is in there including these lovelies. I created these out of clay. With a bit of work I think I can make this a shrunken head
I really can't remember making this one. That is a mouth full of teeth.
I did find what I was looking for and have started the initial steps to creating my shrunken heads.
Now for something a little less creepy.
This next photo is for Elizabeth
The horse gently rocks back and forth.
This guy stands 3 1/2 feet tall. Along the way his tusks broke but he still has a good place in my home. I've often thought of repairing them but just haven't gotten around to it.
Ready for Halloween. Sorry back to creepy. I can't help myself. He is a happy guy right? This is my side front window.
This is my front door window.
This is my front window. Too much glare. You can't see the wreath. I will have to try to get a better shot with the curtains closed.
