Chapter 5...

Here is part 5 of

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Sims

but, it is not made by the same person who made

the previous chapters I have posted.

His videos ended with Chapter 4...

this version doesn't have as much of the book

being read as the last videos did.

Too bad...

But, here it is...just the same. Also in two parts.

Harry Potter - SS - Chapter 4

Here's Chapter 4

Another 2-Parter!

Enjoy!!

Here's Chapter Three

It's a two parter...

but I'm putting them both on this one post!

I hope you're enjoying these little videos...

they're staying right with the book...

I'm quite impressed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing all

a

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am very thankful

to all who

read my blog,

collect my art,

take the time to drop a line...

I appreciate it

and

Thank You!

Here's a link to one of my favorite reasons to be thankful.

Harry Potter - SS - Sims - Chapter 2

I really have gotten into these 'Sims'

Harry Potter stories...

maybe it's because I have no idea

how people put them together..

it's a little like a 'mystery' to me...

but I'm entertained by them...and I'd like to continue to share...

Harry Potter -- SS -- Sims -- Cont'

Continued from

yesterday's post....

Harry Potter - Sorcerer's Stone - Sims

I go onto You Tube every so often,

just browsing...sometimes with a purpose..

other times just to see what's out there.

I ran across a bunch of

"Harry Potter - Sims"

videos...and just had to share..

I've never seen anything done with Sims

so

I'm not sure what the little things are

that often appear above the heads of the characters...

and over other objects as well...

I just rather enjoyed this video...so..

here it is...

I got one new painting...

I painted several paintings

this week-end..

but I only got one new painting

for my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.
I'll be listing it on

Monday.

Deja Vu...

Wow...it seems I just got over

that nasty bout of cold/ flu just a

few weeks ago...and it's BAAACK!

Yuck!!!

That's pretty much how I feel!

And I had soooo much planned for this week.

I've painted a few backgrounds...for new paintings

I've started..

for both Rustic Goth and for CMZart.

Now...I just don't feel like doing anything

but curling up and trying to sleep through this nastiness.

I probably would, if my head didn't hurt so

damned bad!

Sooo...I'm thinking I'll just curl up in my chair,

with my "meds"...my nose wipes...my beverages...

and my sketchpad..

maybe there's something on TV that I haven't

already seen a hundred times.

Blah Blah Gallery's New Art Movements

I was very flattered to be invited to join

the

'Blah Blah Gallery's New Art Movements'

group on Flickr.

I joined, of course.

I do so enjoy doing the sad and surreal dark art..

and it does fit with the general theme of this group.

If you like the pop surrealism, lowbrow, dark art

shown in the groups Flickr photos,

Rustic Goth Characters on You Tube

It's been a while since I last put together

a video to put on You Tube.

I spent most of today...I'm not as fast as some...putting together

a video for CMZ Art

and this one for

Rustic Goth.

The art is by me

the music

'Sweet Dreams are Made of These'

Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics.

Skull ties, Goth Girl Shirts.....

A few items...great for gift giving....now

available online...

at my

Rustic Goth Zazzle Shop.

Finally have them listed.

I finally have listed

'I Think I Can Fix It Myself'

and

'It Needs Repair'

listed in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

I'll be spending today

packing and shipping...but, I am

really wanting to do

a couple new paintings....

maybe later in the week.

Check these out...

A busy week ahead....

I'm going to be listing a print of

'Maybe I Can Fix It Myself'

and it's companion piece...

'It Needs Repair'

in my Etsy Shop

later today or tomomorrow.

I'm thinking I might also list the two

pieces as a 'set'...we'll see.

I want to put together a new You Tube Video... and...

I've finally got a couple of ideas for new paintings...

I really HAVE to get a Bunch of new

merchandise added to my

Rustic Goth Zazzle Shop...

and...

Jaime and I are watching

the grandbabies tomorrow!

Then...there's everything I need to do

for my other shops!

I really do have a busy week ahead!!

There's a Chill In the Air....

I think it's only for a few days

but, the weather has gotten downright chilly.

Good weather, I think, for wrapping up

in a nice warm blanket,...

with a cup of hot chocolate with marshmellows...

and grab my sketchbook.

Maybe, I'll come up with some

brand new characters!

I still have to do more with my

'Bella' character....I really do love her!

And...my 'creepers'...they all need

some new settings.

I've had some artist's block lately...

maybe this will help 'unblock' it!

I know I should be painting...

I have been working on my

Rustic Goth Zazzle Shop

instead.

I have neglected that shop

so badly

that it's going to take much

longer than I anticipated

to get it in shape.

So, in the meantime, I need to put

off painting, yet again!

I think I'll Make a New You Tube Video..

In the meantime....here's a Pop Surrealism Video I put together last year. I like this one a lot..But...a word of warning....you might want to mute the volume if you are offended by the 'f' word. It was the only version of Radiohead's 'Creep' that I could find.

One Year Anniversary...

Today is my one year anniversary

in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

I have discounted all of the paintings

and prints

in the shop.

My way of celebrating

this anniversary

and saying 'Thanks'.

I'm Glad The Election Is Over...

I voted early...which was a good thing. I heard that some

of the lines were rather long.

I'm glad the election went the way it did...

I was planning on

painting last night but...

some of the kids came over to watch

the election returns...which didn't get over as

early as we had hoped.

I've got a bunch of shipping to do today...

but, maybe I can get something

new painted...we'll see.

An old painting...repurposed.

This used to be an old painting

'My Sweet Pet'

now it's a 'new painting'

....

though I'm not quite sure

if I will leave the

old title

or give it a new one.

I'm going to wait a day or two

before I put it

in the Shop

as I have one or two

other pieces

that I want to 'repurpose'

and then...

I'll just list all of the new 'old' pieces

at once.

I always liked the original version

of this painting

but, it seemed 'incomplete'.

Now...I have completed it...

I really do like how it turned out!

Coming Up On A Year

November 6th (my late husband's birthday)

will mark a one year anniversary

for my

Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

I opened this shop a few days after my

CMZ Art Shop

because I thought the sad and surreal

pieces that represent Rustic Goth,

really needed a 'place of their own'.

To 'celebrate' the one year anniversary..

like CMZ Art,

I will mark everything down 25%

in the next day or so.

I haven't made a final decision

but, I'm considering extending

the Sale, in both shops...

through November and, possibly,

December.

I'm Beginning To Wonder...

I'm beginning to wonder

when I will paint again!

This was the last painting I did and that

was a couple of weeks ago!

I don't know if it is because

this time of year is usually my best time

and this year it has been very slow...

if it is the viruses or whatever that

are bound and determined to try to attach

themselves to my stomach...

or if I just need to take

a break!

Maybe it's that I keep

putting off cleaning the things off of

my computer that are slowing it to a crawl!

Whatever it is

I hope I'm over it

soon!!

Do check out

my

other blog

to see what I

HAVE

been up to lately!

It's actually been quite fun:)
