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

 Oopsies, it's been two years... I've been making art that whole time, but keeping up with all the online stuff is just not my forte. I don't even mess with social media anymore- a decision that was made for my mental health, and you know what? RECOMMEND. Anyhow, a quick update- I have hashed out a schedule for updating my "online presence" on a regular basis- once a month I will update my art galleries , my blog, and my web shop with art, prints, news, dolls, whatever I have going on.  Hopefully, I will not fall off again and disappear into the void. Here are some custom dolls I've made (and since sold) in the past two years: These ladies, along with others, will be added to my doll gallery eventually. I am *really* behind with the updates, y'all. I do apologize.  Oh, what else...I have been considering re-opening my etsy shop, I am hesitant, because is it necessary? Another thing to keep tabs on...I'm not sure yet. In the case that I do decide to, ...

To the Nines "Home" ACEO series - complete!

Image
Well, it's finished! Yaaay!! There are so many little details, and I am really quite happy with how it turned out.  It is more muted in color than the previous To the Nines ("Wishing"), but this was purposeful. I wanted a bit more cohesion in the whole piece, so I chose a color scheme for the entire image this time. Usually i don't plan the colors out, i just pick one or two and then add whatever I want during. But sometimes it is nice to have limits lol! Here is the full image: At any rate, let me explain again my To the Nines series.  It is essentially a set of 9 complete ACEOs that also make up a larger story/image.  I am rather partial to puzzles and things that fit together but are different. Also, it seems to speak to my need to visually organize everything.  "Home" is the second work in the series (You can view the first work "Wishing" HERE ). I have plans to continue this in the future, though at the moment I am a little behind on other th...

Monster High Lagoona Lalaloopsy Doll, ACEO Sunday sneak peek, ++ ramblings

Image
 Uggh, hiii So...currently existing in a haze of frustration of myself. Well, I'd say it's more like a mist. Not too thick, just...annoying. Yes, I am annoyed at being continuously frustrated with myself. Does that make any sense? Who knows. SO, I have FINISHED some dolls! Emily the Strange is complete and pretty much ready to find a new home- I need to draft a listing for her, though I suspect I may run into a weird copyright issue trying to list her on eBay. I've already had issues trying to get her Certificate of Authenticity made up. (ramble happening) Normally, I order out for the doll COAs, as I wanted a nice, smooth, perfect looking card. However, the place I order from is refusing to print up her COA as it goes against their copyright policies...Fine, I will print one up myself, fiiine, ughhh.   Oh, the printer is out of ink. Right-o, I have another cartridge ready to go. Oh, well, it doesn't recognize the black cartridge. Cool, coolcoolcool. So, I am currently ...
