Ye Olde Witches Brew Magazine
Embracing the Vintage Witch

Happy Hauntings and Welcome to Haunted Swamp Designs and Yes, there really is a Haunted Swamp. As artist, Lynda S. Mihaly says, "Oh did I mention my gourds are grown at the edge of my Haunted Swamp?!?" Yes, I have my very own haunted swamp! Would you like to come and play? Strange things happen there! My gourds are grown near the edge of the swamp, they maybe haunted! Watch out!. The Swamp Master even captures the flower faeries and changes them into Swamp Faeries. I hear strange sounds coming from there....very scary!

Haunted Swamp Designs combines a beautiful eerie display of ACEO cards, paintings, painted wood, gourd art and other Witchy Creations!~

As quoted from Lynda herself, "MY ART.... Please check out my paintings, painted wood and ACEO cards. I try to always have something new going on!
Please notice my witches do not live in shabby homes, with all their magic they have pretty nice homes... don't you!"

"MY GOURDS....From growing the gourds to drying them, preparation... start to finish, each one is always different. I never completely cover my gourds with clay. That way you'll always know there's a real gourd used. I incorporate oven-baked clay and paper clays into my art in unique ways. I personally hand paint every piece. I do not produce my work fast but always with great love and care."

All of Lynda's art is created in her own home studio in N.E. Ohio and she creates mostly with acrylic and watercolor, sometimes a mix of both.
