Frankenfrog's Back at OCSC!!!

Fall is definately here in New England and as the leaves are turning and falling, the creepy prim critters are in full swing here at Olde Crow Seed Co!!After a L O N G, injury filled week, I finally got this creepy critter finished and listed over on Ebay. There are several other Halloween critters that I hope to complete and list on both Ebay and my new Lemon Poppy Seeds Shoppe within the next few days.

New Halloween Critters!!

Just finished and listed several new Halloween/fall critters over on Ebay. Halloween and Fall is one of my favorite seasons to create for as it's so much fun to think of creepy and weird things to do to my exsisting stable of creatures. :O) Of course, leading the way...front and center is my Halloween version of my Original Primitive Clam.....Count Clamula. :-P Actually, he's a little scary in "real life", LOL, as he's sitting here on my mantel and all I can see in the early morning shadows is his red eyes peeking out from behind his black and red shell. How a clam could be scary??? Who knows, but he can be at times. :O)

This pumpkin head make do/nodder always cracks me up when I look at him. He's one whimsical, silly creation. :)

My elephant witch is back for this Halloween season. This year her new addition is her pumpkin bucket she's holding. I added a flicker bulb inside which makes it look really cool at night!

My primitive Owl was new this summer and I loved how she turned out so much that I made another version of her as a Halloween witch, complete with a set of wooden witches' books. :)

All these critters, and some others, are now over on ebay ready to be adopted!

Now off to play outside with my boys!!!

till later!

New Items!!!

Just listed a few birds over on Ebay which close this coming weekend.

Always wanted to create an ostrich but it kept getting pushed to the back burner for quite a while. Well, I finally got him drawn up, sewn and finished and really like how he turned out. He's quite the tall one, LOL, and is very "commanding" sitting on my hutch in the living room. LOL

Instead of adding tons of feathers and wings and detail, I decided to just keep him very simple and prim. I'm glad I went that way as he's one prim and grungy ostrich. :)

I don't think there are many Primitive Blue Footed Booby Dolls out there, LOL.

I always thought these guys are so unique with there normal shaded feathers and then their baby blue feet. :) You can't help but love their given name. LOL My youngest boys just laugh every time they say it. :)

After watching a nature show with my son, Chase, he suggested that I should create a Puffin doll as they are so unique and very similar in "style" to the Toucan which I have loved creating in the past. Their beaks are alot of fun to create and paint. LOTS of paint went into this guy. Seems like a Puffin lover has already set sights on adopting him over on Ebay so he'll be on to his new home soon!

I'm really happy to be starting some Halloween dolls/critters now, although I'm in NO HURRY for summer to end and for Fall to arrive. :) "Jack" is a pumpkinhead doll that originated at OCSC last Fall. Each one has been slightly different and seems to have it's own personality. :) Very prim and very much a Halloween staple for any prim home!

No Halloween home would be complete without a Piranha! :) This guy was a blast to create and actually came out looking alot scarier than I thought it would. LOL Thank goodness it's teeth are just frayed burlap and not the real thing!!! For it's tag, I thought to switch up the common statement of "its bark is worse than its bite" by putting "my bite is worse than my bark". These guys definately don't have the size and outward appearance of being nasty little ones, but then........you can't ignore their mouths and what they can do with them.......LOL A couple of years ago, I created a scary deep sea fish for the Halloween season, so I figured I'd tap the waters of the Amazon for this season's scary fish creation. :)

All of these critters are now up for adoption over on Ebay........

Till later!

Bird of Paradise

Just listed this Bird of Paradise doll/make do over on Ebay.

I was inspired by seeing the male bird of paradise on tv one night and thinking how flamboyant they are! LOL When doing some research for this fellow, I learned that the male bird of paradise comes in all colors and many different extravagant plumage. They're truly amazing to learn about and beautiful to look at.

Till later...

Lots of new critters!!!

Got lots of new critters that I just listed over on Ebay.....found this awesome iron, rusty bathtub and thought that's perfect for one of my slugs. :) So here he is....Rub a dub dub, one slug in the tub!! :)

Couldn't resist making one of my snakes and giving him a patriotic twist.

And back from hiatus is Seaho' Sally and Seahorse Sam! I so enjoyed making these two when they first premired a couple of years ago and it was just as fun creating them again!!

Raccoon Rob was a blast to make and always makes me laugh. He also was first designed a couple of years ago along with Seaho' Sally and Seahorse Sam.

Take a peek at all these new critters and more over on my ebay page....link is over to the left.

Back to more creating!

Till later!!

Sauteed Clam anyone???

Just listed an Americana Dragonfly, an Uncle Sam Clam and a Sauteed Clam over on Ebay. They're 3 day listings, so they will be available for adoption through this Sunday.

The weather here in New England has been awesome this week!! My parents are visiting and we're so enjoying the beautiful outdoors!

New Patriotic Critters at OCSC!

I just added two new Americana prim critters on Ebay -- link to the left :o), that will be up for adoption until this weekend.

I love creating Americana and patriotic critters and am excited to get going on my Memorial Day and summer/4th of July listings!!!! It also means warmer weather cannot be too far behind!! :-)

Off to finish dinner for my folks who are visiting for a couple more weeks.......it's pretty hectic here and hopefully I'll get some more new creations finished and listed later on this week!!

till later!
