Good news and Great news !

I have had a strange couple of weeks, feeling very lacking in inspiration, not sure if its the time of year or something else.but I can't seem to settle to any art, even if I have the ideas!
Anyway good news, I got 2 atc's done today :0
and GREAT news one of the paintings I put in the exhibition at the big gallery on the Island SOLD!!! I am so chuffed :0
It was this one, so hopefully its gone to a nice new home.

Etsy front page :0

Yesterday I was amazed to find that I had made the front page on Etsy! wow, I didn't realise until someone told me. I am rubbish at trying to get a screen shot, but I can give you the link to craftcult to show you here

and this is what made it in a treasury by kalliaSuppliesland.

another art doll

I am so loving making these art dolls, this one is from my fairy with black manx cat painting.
They all need a new home now :) then I can make more!!

London was fab!

what a fab christmas pressie from Hubby :0 we had a wonderful few days in London. We went to the V&A, The Natural history Museum, Harrods, Covent Gardens , westminster and of course the Lyceum Theatre to see the Lion King.There is only one word to describe the show AMAZING! the costumes were unbelieveable. we had the best seats in the stalls, and alot of the animals went right by us.The hotel was lovely and just around the corner from the V&A and across the road from the tube station.
We were lucky to get there,they cancelled all flights after ours left for Gatwick. then Gatwick was shut for 2 days and our flight was one of the few to leave on thursday night, the first back to the Island for 2 days, we were so lucky!

Art dolls are here!!

I have had so many ideas going through my head, but lacked the time/get up and go to get them done. well I finally got around to one idea I had, to make an art doll. I have made art dolls before, but not this way. I used one of my images from my original paintings and used transfer to put it onto calico cotton. I then stitched and embelished, stuffed and stitched. I ended up with 2 made, took me all day as me and my sewing machine don't always see eye to eye...lol, but we stumbled through, and I am really pleased with how they turned out, and want to make more!!

Off to London!

My bestest Christmas pressie ever is what my Hubby has got for me this year. He is taking me to London for a 3 day break! The hotel is just around the corner from the Victoria and Albert Museum, which is somewhere I have been longing to visit...didn't he do well??? Also our eldest son has treated us both to tickets to the theatre whilst in London, we are going to see the Lion King, which is meant to be an amazing stage show!
How they managed to keep this quiet I don't know, although I knew they were up to something...lol
We go 5th -7th Jan, so fingers crossed the weather is ok!

I have been taking a suziblu online course which is all about Angels, so how could I resist? here is my version of one of the lessons.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
