“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Guerrilla Art

So I was sitting in my studio making some gifties and I happened to look up at a shelf I have and spotted a chenille sock just begging to be something other than just a sock.
So I got to work and this new critter developed. Again I asked Helena what we should name it and she came up with Freddie.

And, I painted and dressed the mini pumpkin and he's going to be dropped off in a while across town!

I think I'm going to start making one thing every week to be dropped off randomly.
This little one is going to go to a house, but the next thing I make will be left at a bus stop.
I'm going to do a guerrilla art post every week!
Oh, the skeleton I dropped off the other day is hanging on their front door in a wreath! Yay!
Have a great day:)

  4. Hurray for you! Guerilla art - I love it! You should take photos of where you leave your little creatures. That would be awesome. Freddie is so cute - and so is your wee elf. This is such a amazing idea. Hope it brings smiles to people's faces. :) Theresa

  10. Marfi, your rock, lady!! Love the idea of guerrilla art!! Have you read the Guerrilla Girls Art credo?? It's hilarious. I had a copy in the inside of my locker back when I was in college going for my B.A. in art...now that was just 5 years ago that I graduated, but it kept me from taking myself too seriously...oh yea, as if!! LOL Actually, I showed it to all those baby students who took themselves too seriously, especially the guys!!

    Just to let you know, I sent your dolly..it's on it's way to sunny Tucson!!

    xxxoo,
    Georgina
