Happy New Year!- Featured Art, upcoming projects, a sneak peek!

 Before I ramble, I want to wish each of you a hopeful, sparkly, magical New Year! 

This is how I feel about 2021:


Also, as usual, I am mostly behind schedule in the majority of my projects, but on time for others...and it will probably always be this way. I try so hard to stick to one or two pieces at a time, but then like halfway through those I am getting brand new ideas. I just write them all down, and go back to them later. Some end up being shite, others need more thought before action, and some are just quick sketches and easy.

This weekend I have Featured Art for January, some ACEOs, and a sneak peek of a new painting. I will probably ramble about upcoming projects, too...

Let's do the ACEOs first, then: the art nouveau inspired produce ACEO "Broccoli" is up for auction and ends this Sunday!  I just adore her, and I cannot wait to get started on her sisters! You can view the auction HERE on eBay, or click on her picture:



And the ACEO I will be listing this upcoming Sunday (Jan 2) is a tiny acrylic painting on canvas! It is a pretty fairy at night; I've titled her "Dusty Stars":



There are a few others I will be posting over the next day or so, you can view all art available on eBay HERE!

Onward to the featured art for January! This piece is the "Coffee Break" painting I posted WIPs of awhile back. She is finished now, up for sale on eBay HERE, and has her own page on my website for the month HERE. 



Additionally, there are poster prints of her available through Zazzle HERE.

Okay, it is SNEAK PEEK time! This is a SUPER sneaky little picture, because I kind of don't want to give too much away. This piece is a 5" x 7" acrylic on a canvas panel:


I am pretty excited about working on it, among other projects- here is where I start to ramble. Feel free to leave, I just want to type a bit.  I have a FULL LIST of To the Nines themes to work from for the year (Yeah, I managed to brain 12 themes lol!) Suffice to say, I am truly hoping to have one new one a month. So far, have not even sketched any out for January, we are on a roll with the procrastination already! 

I also am really wanting to get some got dang dolls made. Repainted. Dismantled and Redistributed to my liking. 

Of course, the weekly ACEO originals will continue! I am approaching a crossroads with the print portion of ACEOs now- it seems I have run through pretty much ALL my "backlog" and will have to rethink my ACEO print process. It may be that I am not listing so many of the limited editions for a bit, as I need to reconfigure that schedule. Yeah, see, this is why I told y'all to stop reading. I am really just typing to myself here lol! It is boring, I am sure. The end goal of this malarkey is to have more time organization (aka a more efficient schedule) and more studio organization. You know, so that I can focus more on the making!  

But then again, I also have to rethink my website schedule and all that. At least I am mostly keeping up with this blog. So proud of myself for that. Back a long time ago, when I first began really selling online,  I posted a new blog almost every day! EVERY DAY, wow. I don't even have my laptop on every day anymore lol!

Well, if you are still here, I am impressed and humbled. I want to again wish you the very very best for the new year- and please allow me to tell you that I am grateful for you. 

Extra Big Hugs for this New Year!
XOXO

A Ramble and Sunday auction sneak peek

Image
 Hi hi! I'm just popping in here to give an update- I have been off visiting family, and I am home for about 10 minutes before I go off to house sit for some friends.  It has been a rather busy summer- great to distract from the oppressive heat!  Honestly, I am tolerant of it mostly, as long as I stay out of direct sunlight.  I think I might be turning into a vampire, really, the sun HURTS me, my eyes mostly. They just start watering as soon as it hits high noon. Sunglasses help a little, but I tend to stick to the shade when I am out and about. Ummm, not a lot of new projects to show, everything is still in my head or just chicken scratches on scrap paper.  I have taken a long break from the To the Nines project series.  I think I will save those for cold winter days, as they need a lot of focus, and I get distracted easily in the warm weather.  It's a seasonal thing for me- I gather a lot of inspiration while I am busy running around in the spring and summer- filling my eyes

Work in Progress ACEOs!

Image
 Ah, I see I skipped last week :/ Well, I do have a work in progress photo of a new batch of ACEOs, and of course a sneak peek of the Sunday auction! Besides that, I am kind of boring lately, maybe I will ramble a bit... Okee, first- I managed to remember to take a snapshot of this new batch of ACEOs before finishing them: They are coming along well now, I've lined them all in ink and will shade them in grey ink soon. Then colors!  Sunday's auction this week will be a sweet little fairy and a bumble bee: She is titled "Bumble Buds" and again, she will be up for auction on eBay starting this upcoming Sunday (4/17, also Easter I see my calendar is telling me). There are a handful of new ACEOs listed right now, you can browse through them if you want to: see HERE !  Um, I guess I don't have much to ramble about...wanting to make up some t shirt designs, and I had an idea for my next doll project (who knows when i will get to her!)  Xo, though!

NEW DOLL! Plus sneak peek, ramble, and some printed goods

Image
 Okay, well Happy April Fool's Day...  Something of note: I am very very partial to jesters and the classic "King's Fool" trope, and over the years have drawn TONS of jesters, clowns, jokers, and all sorts of strange-humored creatures...In fact, the little demon nymphs I've taken to drawing over the past while certainly have their roots in my jester art.   Of course, all I have to share today are pretty fairies (sorry lol!) but still...it is SPRINGTIME and I am ready to only have to wear one pair of pants when I go outside. There are flowers poking out through the mud now, and the other day I even saw a wasp!  So, I suppose the fairies are appropriate :) Very first, I have a Featured Art for April up on my website- she is a repainted Monster High Operetta doll going by Gloria now.  Fashioned after a purple poofy flower of some unknown variety, she is very pleased to make your acquaintance.  For more info on her, photos, and all her little details (what I made her
