Stirring, stirring...

Dellaroo stands, smiling over her pot,
Stirring up a potion, bubbling hot.
"Come one, come all!
It's time for a spiritual ball!"
She spews forth a chant, repeated in three.
She dances with joy, tickled with glee.
As the vapors rise, forms appear.
Her summons' been heard, far and near.
A wicked grin creeps across her face,
An assortment of spirits all over the place. 
"Spirits come forth! Arise! Arise!
Come! Come! Reveal thyselves before my eyes!
Ghosts! Ghosts! Condense your matter.
Your chains create a melodic clatter.
Goblins and ghouls, conspire, contrive.
The hunt begins when you all arrive." 

Stirring, stirring...

Dellaroo looks around, her heart aglee.
Piercing the veil of darkness she doth see.
So many eyes of perilous demise,
Each in their own unique disguise.
"Is everyone here? Practice your gloom.
Perfect your craft. The darkness consume.
The instillment of fright has begun,
As this haunting commences, bring on the fun!" 

Stirring, stirring...

”The hour of twelve, ready, set, prowl.
The wolves, awakened, are starting to howl.
Go forth now. Frighten your best.
Many souls await you in your quest.
Utilize those closets and beds, underneath,
Perfect places to rattle and chatter your teeth.
Add some wailing moans, but don't call it quits,
‘Til you've scared all the living out of their wits!" 

Stirring, stirring...

~ Original/first version ~

"Because their presence gives us a fright, Our demons within we hide from sight." ~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Three-Halloween-Guests

Greetings everyone! ♥

This poem I wrote along with creating artwork to go with it back in October, 2007 as entries in the Halloween art and poetry competitions Elftown.com used to have. Unfortunately, Elftown has become a virtual ghost town now, barely able to maintain a hundred active members, when it used to have many thousands of active members.

I have many great memories from the days when Elftown was a lot of fun to be on, with many great, talented artists and writers. To say I once loved the site and supported it immensely would be a profoundly gross under statement. Some who I became friends with, I am still friends with today.

But I also have many horrible memories brought on in a nutshell because of one, high ranking person's obsession on the site and another on the site with a high ranking position who was consumed with resentful, bitter jealousy over the obsession that only time has provided me with the vital information connecting the dots. Harbouring and feeding an obsession is seldom if ever good or healthy. Jealousy is a VERY destructive trait to feed and nurture and so, both are traits I choose to starve, steer clear of.

First, I'm posting my latest version of the artwork, a remake with a much better monitor to work with along with much more experience creating digitally, and then the second image is the original. I've also learned since that the PNG format is the much better format for saving art as. The poem is as I wrote it in 2007 and it was a winning entry in Elftown's Halloween Poetry Competition. ♥

"Three Halloween Guests" (second, newest version)

The Halloween bash has begun.
Most of the guests have come.
There's ghosts and goblins, witches, too.
They've gathered around their boiling brew.
Somehow, the party seems incomplete,
Even though, there's a variety of feet.

Then, the door opens and there stands three.
Three unknowns, who might they be?

The first is dressed in fleece, a sheep.
Silenced are all, not even a peep.
The second walks in, a pig for sure.
Grunts escape, as he leans on the door.
The third, the last, wearing a crimson hood,
Everyone's eyeing, in the entrance he stood.

The party resumes with ghoulish fun.
Some tricks are played on more than one.
No one's concerned with the three let in,
Nor to the fact, they're not even of kin.

The striking of twelve has long since passed. 
The brew is cold, the scene aghast.
Where are the guests? No laughing or screaming,
'Cept the three, sleeping and dreaming,
With paws on their bellies, they're snoring loud,
They've really enjoyed, eating the crowd!

Log-Cabin-House

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

I entered this digital artwork in the Elftown House Competition, 2006, and it won! I remember creating this like it was yesterday. It took me four and a half weeks! I literally built this house digitally, one log at a time, and put them together to make the house, and then there were all the rest of the details that came afterward. ♥
"Log Cabin House"

Well, then in 2014 I opened the PSD of the above image up one day and thought to myself, "I should re-do this, give it a complete make-over." ..And so, I did! In all the years since creating the first version, I've greatly improved with my digital skills AND I've made thousands and thousands of graphics, including my own trees, grasses, wood/fencing, etc., as well as lots of horses. I LOVE horses! I made all new roofs, a new chimney, put on additions, and decided to make it larger as a desktop/monitor size (1920x1080). This gave me additional space to work with to add a garage, barns, fences, fields/pastures, and of course, horses, transforming it into a nice horse farm, which I titled it, "Dreamy Acres". As one can see, I love details. I even put curtains and blinds up and plants in some windows! This second round, the re-do, took me a little over three weeks. So, the time this piece took all totaled overall (both versions), not counting the separate graphic projects, such as the trees, fencing, grasses, horses, etc., was nearly two months. This is what the original (above) transformed into:

Christmas-Pegasus

Hello all, from Artsieladie! ♥

Some 'horsey' digital art by yours truly, this is my "Golden Promise Pegasus" carrying a banner saying "Merry Christmas - Happy New Year". The smaller versions shown here, uploaded to Google, are really small versions compared to the VERY large versions I actually created, which look great on a large screen that can accommodate the very large sizes.

There are two versions. One version, "Golden Promise - "Christ"-mas Pegasus", I entered into a Christmas contest on www.elftown.com, displayed on this wiki-page: 
http://www.elftown.com/_Christmas%20Art%2010%2c%20Page%201
..and the second version with www.elftown.com on it, I was going to enter instead, but I changed my mind and went with the first one. 

The initial Golden Promise Pegasus (just the Pegasus itself), I completed on ©2009-12-20. I placed him in these Christmas Works on ©2010-12-20.

Spreading Christmas Greetings far and wide,
As across the sky, he does soar and glide.
Merry Christmas to all with lots of cheer.
Many blessings too, throughout the New Year!
By Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly ♥

I wrote a poem to go with and entered it in Elftown's Christmas Poetry competition the same year,  here:
http://www.elftown.com/_Christmas%20Poetry%2010%2c%20page%201

Oh, thy great Pegasus, flying way up high,
Soaring across the heavens, such wonder in the sky.
Through the clouds on golden hooves you dance,
Gracefully you glide, majestically you prance.
Your shimmering wings glisten, capturing each ray of gold,
Truly an essence of beauty as legends have been told.

The prism of promise over which you leap,
Signifies God's Word, His covenant to keep:
"The land consumed, swallowed by the sea;
The earth again flooded, thus shall never be."

On this day of "Christ"-mas, was born thy Holy Child,
God's only begotten Son, so humble, meek, and mild.
With a predetermined destiny, the Deliverer of peace,
The Savior of souls, instilling hope never for to cease.

Pegasus, Golden Promise, as with honour you proclaim,
All across the universe, as you repeat His holy name:
"A merry "Christ"-mas to all and a happy New Year",
With Christ still in "Christ"-mas, believers shall not fear.

Although a legendary star of mythology, a constellation,
The message you deliver, a surreal revelation,
Is, we celebrate in the highest power, the birthday of -
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the ultimate Gift of Love!

"An Elftown Christmas!"

When the holiday season rolls around,
Here a bit more magic can be found.
Christmas, to an already enchanted land,
Adds touches of wonder in style so grand.
   There are snowflake kisses
   And the granting of wishes;
Love abounds plentifully, an infectious state,
Compassion, kindness, and hope accelerate.

New friendships are formed, old ones rekindled,
The season of cheer, celebration non dwindled.
Many races of humans, of creatures too,
All come together to rebuild and renew;
   A common dream, a union one,
   Reminiscing back to when she begun.
The dawning of a decade on the horizon near,
A Christmas to remember, a special New Year!
