Bluespirit

The artist reveals are now up at both h5o_art_santa & sga_art_santa.
My beautiful gifts - which I squeed over before the holidays - were created by the very talented galadriel34 & velocitygrass.  If you haven't had chance to see them yet (or any of the other beautiful pieces) then please do pop over - they're gorgeous!

And on a completely unrelated topic: I've just finished P D James' 'Death at Pemberley' - a murder mystery set within the Pride & Prejudice world.  What a wonderfully entertaining & satisfying read!

It's time for tricks & treats & fiendish fun.
Yes, the Hallowe'en art fests have begun over at h5oartvalentine & sgaartvalentine. \o/






I'm not posting my SGA piece until later in the fest, but here's my H5-O bit of silliness. *g*

Well, I think I've promoted the 'Big Reveal' for both h5oartvalentine & sgaartvalentine in all the comms that I can think of. All of the artists who participated have worked incredibly hard & produced such a wonderful collection of work, & I really want them to get the recognition they deserve. :)
I've tried to promote the comms as best I can (without spamming & perhaps having the opposite effect!)

I just want to thank everyone who's taken part, & also everyone who's left comments & generally cheered & supported - you're all fabulous.
*hugs*

I've posted my own art contributions over in my creative journal ('cus I like to keep everything in one place. *g*)

This is what I made (just click on the teaser images).

For h5oartvalentine:

The Ghost & Detective Williams



For sgaartvalentine:

Love's old sweet song



Guide you home (as a pinch hit)



I think 'Love's old sweet song' is probably quite recognisable as my style, but I tried something a bit different for 'Guide you home'. I was trying to tell more of a narrative with the picture panels. I must admit that I was prety pleased with how it came out.



The side-effects from this medication the doctor has me on have really stepped up their game today, & I'm afraid they're kicking my bum rather successfully.
So, that's it for me for now, I'm afraid.
Off to lie on the sofa & get some Buddy cuddles. ♥

I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday! :)

More Harlequin shenanigans!

A little bit of 'northern exposure'... *g*
