Happy Halloween everyone! Since today is about all things spooky, and nothing says Halloween more than pumpkins, we though we’d share some amazing pumpkins with you! There are even a few pirates and a pretty frightening fish in the mix!
Just a fraction of the amazing talent of Ray Villifane!
These fabulous creations are the work of the outrageously talented artist, Ray Villifane of Villifane Studios. Aren’t they amazing? Mind-blowing would even be a better word! His pumpkins are world famous, but he doesn’t just stop with gorgeous gourds; Ray is also an amazing sand sculptor as well.
There are so many exquisite examples of his work on his website, so make sure you head over there for even more amazing art! You can even follow him on the Villifane Studios Facebook Page. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cider and spend some time in his galleries. His work is truly out-of-this-world!
Have a wonderful night boys and ghouls! Remember to be safe while you are out and about tonight. Happy Haunting from Mermaid Cottages!
Mermaids are so inspiring, so it is no wonder they are the subject of many different artists. Look at these delightful little ladies! How fabulous are they? These lovely mermaids are original Paper Mache sculptures by artist Tyler Humphreys. I love the way their hair floats and flows. They take all of us under the tide right along with them! Make sure you check out each original piece!
Aren't the lovely? Can't you just feel the current right along with them?
Check out more mermaids and the rest of his wonderful, whimsical art in his Etsy shop, Tyler’s Workshop. What talent!
