I decided to create this enchanted pumpkin princess story book doll for my grandchildren to enjoy while I read my stories aloud to them.

“Our cup runneth over”, as they used to say. We were going to combine these two visions into one post but they are both deserving of their own Muse. So today we have companion pieces featuring our very own Gabriel.

Art can be very personal-so when another creator sends you a piece to finish, they are actually sending you a little piece of themselves

Our RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Yorick Skull is a limited edition hand cast matte resin craft blank, ready to alter.
Just in time for your Halloween designs!
He has a sweet grin, wide enough to hold a glimmering jewel between his teeth.
We took Yorick's name from the character in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 1.
Hamlet: "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him, a fellow of infinite gest and excellent fancy!"
Measurements 1 3/4" Length x 1" Wide x 1" Height. Just right for a statement ring, a book cover, a necklace, cuff bracelet or mount it to one of our Ex Voto's for a unique shrine adornment.
What will you create?!
The inspiration for this piece came from divine a Renaissance period skull ring I once saw in a museum in London. My rendition is adhered to a ring blank, dressed in gold paint, crackle medium, antique ruby red glass cabochons, crushed turquoise and one saltwater baroque vintage pearl. I'm planning on wearing him while giving out Halloween candy to our neighbor kids!

OUR TRIBE By Sandra Evertson
This has been such an enjoyable month of Art and Friendship, the match up of the RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassadors and Canvas Corp Brands Design Team has been challenging and fun!
It has given us all the opportunity to work with each others products and integrate what we do, share and exchange ideas, styles and stories.
I wanted to create a piece that was a sort of representation of OUR WONDER FILLED TRIBE, you, me, him, her, them and they... all of us.
I made tightly wound "beads" out of canvas strips that symbolize what a close and like minded group of art makers we are.
And combined several packages of RELICS faces to show the beautiful diversity among us.
I painted us all in shades of deep verdigris Nile blue, turquoise and bronze, and if you look closely you can see that each face is different but equally beautiful... United yet Different, how great is that?!!
Next came spritzes of fine gold glimmer because we are rich in talent, kindness and support of one another, yes, we all shine. Aren't we lucky?!
I let the paint just do what it wanted, it blended, pooled, puddled and flowed freely, resting in all the right crevasses just where it was meant to be.
Sometimes when creating it seems to take forever to get where you want to go with a piece, other times it comes fast and furious, every step just fell into place and before I knew it I was done and feeling fulfilled with what was looking back at me.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for being just who you are, for sharing your thoughts, feelings and emotions through your creations. We are all unique and we are all unified by our love of ART.
