Marie !

Just doodling and playing in my journal, Marie showed up! Then I was surprised at how pretty she looks. ThEn I ruined her by adding the "blond" curls. I wanted to show her "real" hair escaping her big wig, but they are too big and too orange, and in the wrong place... oh well.

Also I used to make silver jewelry, I was the Silver Artisan, and made this bracelet Marie inspired.

This morning, sweet JulieAnn shared with us a wonderful blog with a free e-zine with enough Marie art for a year's worth of inspiration! Love it!

Thanks for Visiting !

Waxed Collage

Hi there!

Here is my newest collage, I apologize the picture only shows a detail of it. The wax is so smooth the pictures have a lot of glare, except for this one taken at an angle.

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Thanksgiving !

To all my visitiors, wishing you a Blessed Thanksgiving !

And here is my latest piece, not a collage as it happens.

Hair Practice

I really have been wanting to make my portraits more interesting, so I'm learning from my new faerie book. One huge challenge is the hair, so I'm practicing, here is a purple-hair faerie.

Thanks for looking.

Been Busy !

Hello everybody, I've been happily busy. I finally completed another collage, I missed the process and today I thoroughly enjoyed it. :D

Then since my twinchie turned out so cute I decided to make Christmas ornaments with the paper clay, yes I know they look like cookies, but don't try to eat them LOL.

THEN I found a fabulous book on how to draw faeries, and I was happy with my first attempt, I just want to make my portraits more interesting, not too out there. So here are my pictures for you to take a peek:

PS. Sorry about the watermark. I'm trying to figure out how to make it invisible for future postings :D THANKS for Visiting!

Mary - Art Challenge !

Here is my twinchie for "Rosie and Linda's Art Adventure Challenge"

I made it with paperclay, painted a frame around it with glitter and acrylic medium. The painting has blues with iridescent medium, pearly. And I attached a copper wire for hanging. This was a challenge because it's so tiny, 2x2", but it was fun. Considering making more to add as gift tags or Christmas tree ornaments :)

Greek Goddess detail

My Mermaid

Ok, yes this one is quite different from my usual work. It's actually homework for my portrait class, my daughter said it looks like a mermaid, so it is. Thanks for visiting :D
