I have finished one more Red "Skelly"ton Ornie. I hope to do one or two more before listing them. This one is of course Freddy Freeloader
I used air-dry clay to creat his hand-held cigar, an accessory he could not be without!

This is an Elf ghost...She showed up today. She's a pretty little thing...I don't know what her story is....But Elves Do NOT Live Forever.....

When I began this little lady, I had a request for a special ornie who might be a sister to a past creation "Dreadful Diva Diane". I was so excited to be honored with such a request! I hadn't quite come up with her name and so anxious to show her to my customer I posted her here on my blog. Well, I am proud to announce her name was chosen by my new Dear friend Carole...The ornie is now known as "ELFvira" IS that not just PERFECT! I wish I had thought of it!....

My new Skelly Ornie...."RED" Skellyton!

Red Skeleton has always been a favorite of mine. He was such a wonderful comedian. He was an Artist, a published
composer and a kind and gracious man. He was born in Vincennes Indiana, and so was I!
From time to time he would return to his hometown and I was lucky enough to meet him.

I plan to create some little skelly ornaments inspired by his MANY funny characters he was so well-known and loved for through the years.


Red Skelton (July 18, 1913 - September 17, 1997)

"If some day you’re not feeling well, you should remember some little thing I have said or done and if it brings a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart then my purpose as a clown has been fulfilled."—Red Skelton

In following posts I will include more information I find in researching the man and his story.

I know you remember how he closed every program...

"Good-night, and May God Bless"
