Morg the Kitapelet

This is a character from my new book, Famlaer A New Beginning. At least, that is the title for now. I am hoping to have it published by the fall.

This is a Kitapelet, better known as the mind reader/communicator. This is a small exert from the book that describes what a Kitapelet is.

He yelled again, telling us to get out of there. Rio and Stew looked at each other and wondered how it was that they could understand this little creature and how they were able to hear him being that he was so small. The closer he got, the more they realized he wasn’t speaking at all because his mouth wasn’t moving, but they could hear him in their heads.

Rio took a chance and confronted him through her thoughts. How is it we can hear you, and why can I understand you? He finally landed on a branch near where they were all gathered at the edge of the forest.

He spoke in a perfect Scottish accent to Rio and said, through thought, “My name is Morg, and I am a Kitapelet. We can converse with anyone from anywhere. Although I must admit, we don’t get a lot of visitors coming through here, and I have never thought in this language before. Who are you, and why are you here?”

Prima Ballerina and Broadway Baby

As most of you know, I am getting ready to show my art at a local amateur theatre in the fall. This is a pair of dancers that will be in the show. They are both mainly acrylic paints with a few added things like a metallic marker, clay and rhinestones to add a little texture to each piece. 

The first piece is called Broadway Baby. Rhinestones are used to portray the lights of the Broadway sign as well as near the top, a purple teardrop and a round yellow stone. The purple and yellow are also used on the bottom, both sides and in the middle. The rhinestones are covered with a super gloss top coat to give them a high-gloss shine. Also, a gold metallic marker is used for the border and gold, and yellow sparkle glue was used for the hat, the blouse and the sign. 

The second piece is called Prima Ballerina. I have added a few clay pieces made from clay moulds, and the silver lines are made using a silver metallic marker. I used a stencil for the top and bottom decorations with silver acrylic paint.

I hope you enjoy and for those who are local, I hope to see you at Centre Stage Theatre in Kentville in October. Enjoy the play and the viewing of my art. 

Mother & Daughter

I have been working on a few art pieces for an exhibition at an amateur theatre this fall. I am using a multitude of mediums, including acrylic and watercolour paint, oil pastels, polymer & air dry clays, different-sized canvases, and watercolour paper. A few of the pieces involve using different types of clay and acrylic paint on canvas, all surrounded by a wood three-dimensional frame.

For this particular project, I used only two colours, blue and white. It is called Mother and Daughter. They are seated having their special tea time.

I used polymer clay for the figures, an 8″ x 8″ canvas, acrylic paint, 2 3/4″ x 3/4″ wood for the frame and 1 1/4″ wide moulding for the front to finish it off.

Famlaer – The real faeryland, another sneak-peak.

Famlaer is a book about faeries. It’s mainly introducing the community and how they are created. It is more description than story at this point. My next book will be more story-like but still lots of introduction and descriptions of faeries not mentioned in the first book.   

In the meantime, I’d like you to meet Naldoow, the forest keeper. He is one of my favourite drawings. I thought it would be fun to make a faery look like an old hippy rocker. He is just one of many fun and unusual characters in Famlaer – The real faeryland.

This little fellow is the oldest looking of all the faeries. They are always male, they live to be 98 years old, and there are at least five around at all times. They live in the trees, making them the highest flyers of the whole of Faeryland. They fly to the tops of the tallest trees, acting a little like a scout watching for problems. The forest keeper has an overly humungous head but sports a small body, hands and feet. Quite out of proportion. Although he looks old, he’s actually one of the most energetic faeries. They always have a scowl on their face but have a wonderful sense of humour and for the most part, are quite happy. He resembles what we call a hippy from the sixties.

 

Famlaer paperback is available on Amazon.com for $9.95 US, $13.20 CA as well as UK, DE, FR, ES, IT AND JP. If you would rather read a digital copy it’s available for $4.98 US on all the same as above plus NL, CA, MX, AU AND IN. (the digital version is not available in mobi or epub, but can be read on your phone, tablet or computer using free readers that can be downloaded through Amazon or your mobile market)

Happy reading everyone.
