Not sure what is going on this week , maybe blogger issues I don't think Kristin and Eva cancelled the party, anyway I'll go ahead and post; hopefully it isn't .
This week's Paint Party Friday Submission....." Past Curfew "
Friday the 13th............Weeps once again is alone in the Dark
WIP.....Just finished " Weeps " yesterday and when I tried to post him this morning blogger was down......Hmmmm...... anything to do with it being Friday the 13th? I for one keep the number 13 as a lucky charm but probably not for all so it seems.........
Step #1 ~ Harvest Conk
Step #2 ~ Dry the Shelf Mushroom for a couple of months, but not required
Step #3 ~ Gesso prep
Step #4 ~ Sketch design, again not required if you can draw...hehe...not like me
Step #5 ~ Wood burn using wood burning tool...again not required
Step #6 ~ Paint, again not required
Step #7 ~ Seal with shellac if desired

This artist Conk doesn't sit well so once I complete "Weeps" I will be making a base for the Shelf Mushroom art
A small little door to a fairy's home. Looks like Weeps isn't really all alone as he thought.
Another little door isn't too far from Weeps.
M named this work and thought of adding the lily flower lantern .Will be working on him for this week in-between gardening, treasure hunting for old relics of the natural kind and manmade. Hope you all have yourself a great weekend and enjoy the Spring weather.
p.s. I will try to post a few of the great Treasures I was fortunate to come across in the last few weeks.
Maybe they may give you an incentive to frequent a few yard and church sales of your own.....maybe you'll find your artistic inspiration in a lost and forgotten gem.....
Have fun Treasure Hunting and Creating

Weeps looks so sad. :) But he is the cutest thing. Beuatiful!
Weeps is such a cute little owl. I still can't believe how huge these mushrooms are! Could you do me a favor and take a photo of one on the tree next time you find one, so I can understand how they grow and look in nature? Looking forward to seeing the treasures you found.
Thanks for the lovely comments. I will be going on a hike in the wild wood next weekend with the family......scary cat at heart.
On my way back home yesterday morning from the sales, my friend and I saw a fisher cross the road.....scary and ugly and reminded me of some horror tales I had heard from the past so most likely to not venture the wood alone, even with dog......haha! I will try to take a picture of the shelf mushroom for you.
Will post some treasures soon.

I always enjoy your Weeps, Annabelle and this one shines too! ♥ Lisa
Hi all,
Roban Studio asked if I could take a pic next time I go gather the mushrooms.....since lately I have seen Fishers in the area and bears I wouldn't go out alone till the coming weekend with hubby and kids ....too scared so I have the best thing for now . I discovered a gal from New England ~ Joan " For the Love of a House " who adores these artist conks and uses them in her interior and exterior decor...Here are the three links.......Enjoy!
