First Drawing Of The New Year and Ebay

I finally got my mojo back and actually put a pencil in my hand today. It was fun to sit down and feel inspired again. My original inspiration was this...

And this is what she ended up looking like. I usually see a picture and get inspired by something, but then the drawing takes on its own personality. I just let go and try not to think about it too much.

Also, my husband persuaded me to list on Ebay. So I ordered 25 prints of the painting "The Authoress", signed and numbered them. I will not sell anymore of these prints. If you are interested, I am selling number 1/25 right now. Here is the link

Have a great one...

Back to my Scrapbooking Roots...Kinda!

I love making handmade journals and I also love pretty scrapbook papers. I haven't actually scrapbooked in years, but I still have plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of paper. So, I got the bug to make some cute little mini books with some of my coordinating scrapbook paper packs. This is the result. They are 4X4 mini's (so cute) and I embellished the front. The insides have coordinating paper and are ready for pictures and embellishments. I vision them to be little brag books you could keep in your purse. They were a blast to make and I will probably make more soon. If you are interested in one, I have them listed in my shop for only $6.

Happy Arting (I don't think that is a word; oh well)....

Night Circus & The Holidays

I belong to a book club and for October we read "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. It was such a magical book and I highly recommend it. It inspired the following journal page.

I have also been hit with the Holiday bug and have been painting up a storm. Here is what I have been up to.

Klimt Challenge and Prints!!

I was inspired by the talented Jane DeRosier to make a painting based on the style of Gustav Klimt. I have always loved his work and so I had to give this a shot. Here is my version...

I have also added some new prints to my shop. Check them out here.
