Creepy Chenille Halloween Ornaments

NEW on eBay my NEW 2009 Creepy Chenille ornaments Haunted little girl and "Witches Brew". My Creepy Chenille's are hand sculpted and painted...their fun little bodies are made out of Chenille Stem. No two Ornaments will be the same because I HAND sculpt each one (No molds are ever used in my art). They are between 3-4 1/2" tall. The piece is signed and dated 2009 by me, Miniature artist Pat Benedict. Collect them all for your own Funky Tree.
Next week I will be offering a Creepy Chenille ornament "Blog Giveaway" ....I just LOVE giveaways!!

My Son's Art and creative challenge

I love my adult kid’s art! I’m so lucky that my children are creative and share their works with me. This work is from Kenny my 24-year-old son. Kenny lives in Austin, TX. And work for Blizzard Entertainment (World of Warcraft). Kenny likes to draw funny creepy demented characters. I really like this pieces he has on Deviant Art ...”Prisoners of the Boogeyman”

Kenny thought I might enjoy a little creative challenge though his work. The challenge was to send your interpretation of what I think “The Lich King” would look like. I had NO idea the definition of Lich meant sooo I googled the word and it’s some thing about the undead. I sculpted a miniature bust of my vision of “The Lich King.” He is not a regal king, he is more a mystical king (No crown needed). I had fun sculpting this creepy dude! Now it’s back to sculpting a NEW miniature for eBay.

Thank you Kenny for keeping you 50 years old Mom challenged!
Love YOU!

NEW Haunted Miniature on eBay

I first started creating my Haunted Witch brooms in 2006 and they were features in "International Doll Collectors Magazine" Oct/Nov 06....I still LOVE sculpting my little haunted brooms! Here is my NEW broom set "Run little broom, RUN!!!" My Haunted brooms are hand sculpted over a REAL tree branch. The Haunted broom is then Hand painted and stand only 4" tall, and the little broom is only 2" tall.
I just love the witch mask!

2009 Halloween Garden plans

Black Bat Flower

Queen Red Lime Zinnia
I’m going to try a Halloween garden AGAIN this year. Last year my garden was looking great then we adopted our Black lab puppy Elvira and she destroyed each plant!

This year I hope Elvira will learn to stay out of the garden (She is very smart). I have ordered some NEW Zinnia’s from Johnnyseeds.com “Queen Red Lime” they are really cool. I want to add a couple of “Black Bat Flowers” but they are really expensive 16.95 each. I’ll keep everyone posted on how the Halloween garden designing goes.

The Kitchen Witch with her Spooky Cauldron

I finally finished Teri’s special eBay auction order. She wanted a witch for her kitchen with a little mouse and frog. I had this really cool old cauldron sooooooo I created the witch cooking from her cauldron with the frog jumping over the cauldron and a mouse at the bottom. I created a fun bubbling effect with liquid sculpty, green and clear tiny glass marbles . . . I added a small battery operated flicker tea light for a GREAT fun witchy effect!
This was soooo much fun to design and sculpt!
Off to the studio to finish up some goodies for this weeks eBay auctions.
