Art doll

I made this art doll for a swap I am in, I am not the best with a sewing machine, we seem to fall out!, but I can hand stitch :)
I transfered one of my paintings onto cotton, and cut out the face, and then stitched onto the doll, so she is really unique! she has wild purple hair and a fabric crown. I hope who gets her loves her :)

Etsy update and new painting

I have just listed 3 items in my shop, 2 bookmarks and a set of 3 cards.
The cards and 1 of the bookmarks feature my brand new painting "star".

What happened???

Well I couldn't get on blogger yesterday, at all!! it was so annoying, but today its here :)

I had a lovely surprise the other day, the winner of my giveaway, Michele, from soggibottom, actually rang me to say thank you for the bag she received! She was so encouraging, it was lovely to talk to her and get some feedback, she made my day!! - thanks Michele :)

I have given my cards to the gallery, and put a few items in the local shop "Treasure". Treasure is a lovely shop run by Jenny. It is a jewelery shop and bead bar ,where you can buy alsorts of beading goodies, and there are workshops you can do, or you can call in and sit down and make an item of jewelery- what a fab idea! She also sells local art and crafts, and believe you me there are some lovely things in that shop!
So for me its fingers crossed that they now sell....please send me positive thoughts :)

I have made a few note card sets, one is for sale in my etsy shop.

Gallery cards!!!

Well I finally got them done! here are 4 of the designs of cards that I am giving to the gallery, fingers crossed they sell!!!

NEXT ONE!

So I managed to get the next painting for the cards for the Gallery done last night.Its the Madonna with child, I was thinking along a christmas theme, and this popped into my head :) I love the rich colours, I never set out to use a certain colour scheme, it just evolves with the painting!

new designs for Gallery

So the Sayle Gallery, here on the Island want me to do 4-5 designs of cards for the Gallery shop,
I finally got one of the new paintings done and would like to share it with you. As the design is exclusive to the gallery ( ie can't buy that design any where else) I can't use this design elsewhere, which is a pity, as I think I really like it :) I have tried to use vivid colours, so they show up well when they are printed out smaller for the cards.I have 2 more ready woodburned and the faces done ( I always do the faces first), ready to paint.
