Erinle's Notebook...

More photos from the Forgotten Forest! I'm still looking for a perfect sketchbook or journal to turn into a traveling diary, but nothing good so far... But I'll definitely find the right one next week and then Erinle's notebook will turn into something more touchable and real.  

But  now - simply enjoy new pics! :)

My Work Table...

I decided to create something different this time -  some unusual ornaments! And of course, they all are a little bit strange and even wicked at some point. Especially, Parrots of Doom! :) I think that if there are Birds-Of-Paradise, there should be something opposite too! :) I've managed to finish only three ornaments today, so I will continue this wonderful work tomorrow.

Creative Chaos! :)

Erinle's Notebook...

Erinle's Notebook is back! But is has changed a little bit. I decided to turn it into an expedition diary with lots of drawings, descriptions and even photos of flora and fauna of Erinle's world. Each Friday I will post some pictures or photos as a sneak-peek preview. 

So here it goes - some old gloomy photos of the Forgotten Forest! :) 

They all will be added to the notebook eventually and I will show you the result, when this expedition ends (look forward for my Sunday posts) and it will be written in a form of a diary - with dates and events.
Enjoy! 

P.S. All these photos are taken and altered by me! :)

My Work Table...

Here are some new creations from my humble work table. Three orange pumpkins are finished and put for sale (see the last picture), but that jester-like creature is still in the middle of the creation process. I had some troubles with him. First, with the carcass building, then during the baking process and finally he did not want to stay on that wooden base! 

ARRGGHH! :)

Now almost all problems are solved and I hope to finish him in a few days and you will definitely see a result! :)

No name yet...

...but I still have time to think about it! :)

Three naughty little pumpkins are ready for the Halloween! :)

New schedule...

Well, here is the promised new schedule of my blog posts! :)
Starting September the 8th I will post according to it and I hope it will work! 

On Mondays I will tell about my current projects, on Fridays - Erinle's Notebook will be back. Every second Wednesday of the month I will present some unusual Etsy related finds and every last Sunday of the month I will give you a report on my current expedition to Erinle's world. Then there will be so-called the Reading Thursday  - I will review some interesting books I've read and present a quote of the month. The Reading Thursday will occur once a month.
Stay tuned! :)

My new schedule! :)

My Work Table and 85 sales!

I'm quite blog silent (if I can say so) this summer. Or simply lazy! But as my favourite season approaches, I can feel how the urge for writing is slowly rising in me. And that's simply great! :) In my next post I will give you some info about my new blog schedule (I will post twice a week again), so stay tuned! :)

And I'm ready for another expedition, this time I will explore the Forgotten Forest! :) And I even manged to create some forest creatures already. By the way Aino is already sold. 

Here they are!

The Ghost Mushrooms

The Lunar Mushroom 

Aino The Forgotten Forest Dweller

The Tree Spirit

The Forgotten Forest Hares

And I reached my summer goal - 85 sales in my store! Woohoo! :) Now I'm up to 100, so wish me some luck! :)

The Crow River Expedition: Part Three

Well, this is the last part about my journey to the Crow River area...and it is dedicated to its wonderful inhabitants! I would like to start with the Wise Ones. Do you remember Sean The Wise Oak Tree Stump? He lives in Erinle's garden and he is the Wise One. These creatures look like tree (mainly oak) stumps, but they are not the real stumps. They have never been trees and they can even move, but very slowly. They exist in Erinle's world from the beginning of times and are known as a great advisers. In the valley of the Crow River I've met Sean's brother - Norbert. He told me, that every area or region in Erinle's world has its own Wise Stump.By the way, Norbert has a friend, a gray owl named Freddie! :)

...and Freddy! :)

And then, there is Tookey... Tookey the Strange! He is a real hermit. Tookey inhabits a small cave near the Crow River. He is obsessed with mushrooms and herbs. He knows many potion and mixture recipes and is always experimenting a lot. He looks like some kind of frog mixed with a mushroom and he is even covered with moss. He looks a little bit scary but he is kind and very smart. I even managed to get some new potion recipes for Erinle! :)

It's good to be strange! :)

The River Folk... I am so happy that I met them! They are amazing creatures and they are the natives of the Crow River area. They look like a hybrid of lizard and slug, each of them has his/her unique colour of skin and no two are alike. Their average height is 130 cm (approximately 4 ft 3 inches) and their complexion varies a lot. They live in cozy cottages, wooden huts and even in manors! They behave exactly like human beings, but are kinder and even a little bit naive...:) And they are very sweet and hospitable! :)

Ms. Ernestine Doodley is an amazing artist! :)

And here are all of my new friends together (except Ernestine, she was the one with a camera)! I will definitely return there again! :)

P.S. Basically reading about this and the following expeditions to the world of my imagination will help you to understand more about my creatures and creations and where did they come from...:) Nothing more, nor less. Thanks!
