kamila of Wooded Woods is joining our spOokytime family this month!

welcome kamila!

kamila creates breathtaking art dolls...haunting characters full of such amazing details. you can visit her website HERE and her blog HERE.

a little about kamila, from the artist herself:

"My name is Kamila and I make dolls. What comes out is a combination of my love of fairytales, the unknown and capturing the wonder of youth. I have a background in illustration but focus mainly on sculpting and story telling. I can't really be described as conventional, I explore a large range of characters, feelings and afflictions... My mom has asked me to tell everyone that I had a very happy childhood...:) "

we can't wait to see what kamila has in store for us on october 13th!

see YOU then!

Surprise Guest for October

This month's guest artist barely has time to rest (unless it's on fabulous bedding). From the creative imagination, a photo stylist, editor, art director, project designer, licensed artist, and entrepreneur has been born. This artist has worked with such amazing talent as Mary Engelbreit, Matthew Mead, and Martha Stewart.

SpookyTimeJingles New Group that is Open to all "creatives" on the Hive ONLY!

SpookyTimeJingles New Group that is Open to all "creatives" on the Hive ONLY!

I have wanted to start a group for a long time now, that combines STJ artists and STJ fans who also like to share in creativity and the process..whatever that may be for you (sketching, painting, scrap booking, poetry, etc...).

This type of group makes sense to me since, I often would like to add more artists to SpookyTimeJingles but cannot due to size constraints. When a marketplace gets too large in size it causes the viewer to lose interest because their is too much content to take in. Hence the reason for our 6+month wait list to join us plus we just do not have a lot of turnover.

So in creating this open group, I would so love a place where other creatives with the same interests (holidays) and goals (kindness and inspiration) as STJ could commingle and share in this holiday goodness together! I believe the HIVE has given us the perfect venue to make this happen.

So please come join in the HIVE: http://creatingthehive.com/signup/spookytimejingles

And then join our STJ group on The Hive: http://creatingthehive.com/group/SpookyTimeJingles

~Hugs & Happy Creating my friends~
