Oppossum ACEO


Did you know, that I one time raised an orphan oppossum? I named her Ophelia. She was frightfully sweet. Loved to eat bananas, of all things. This is an ACEO sized painting I did of her this week. It is in my Etsy store.

You don't say!




The theme last week, seems to have been the idea of unspoken words.
These are the images that unfurled themselves. Titles are: Don't Bug Me, Yes- I said NO, and What? These are all Art Cards-2.5 x 3.5 inches. They are in my Etsy shop if you want to see them more closely.

The Artists Way- Three pages a day...




For anyone writing their "Morning Pages" this red journal, covered in hand made specialty paper, with plant fibers pressed into the pulp, will make the experience more lovely. I added a ribbon to serve as a page marker, with handmade polymer clay beads.

I am pleased to introduce this little spud!


Potato? Pah-Tato? The word is the bird: Potatobird!

An Etsy Artist, who creates Artwork using elements of stitchery, textile, transferred images, transparencies, dressmakers tissue. Her item descriptions are worth investigating, just for the joy of reading the humorous stories with each piece, and to get a glimpse of Potatobirds wit and fiestiness!

I was especially glee filled to have an ACEO created especially for me, based on a vintage saucy image, which you can see by clicking (here)
Please take a peek!

Seaside Mural





Thought I would share an image of a Mural I painted in Manhattan Beach California. The image is of a loving, dancing Ganesha. Talk about a wonderful place to work! Just a block away from the Ocean.

Wonderful World of Miniatures


Today I visited a Miniature Art and Collectible Show at the Radisson Hotel in Culver City, California. I was able to meet a fellow Etsy Artist; Tessimal. She creates fairies and fairy homes made from mushrooms and woodbark. I found her tiny stuffed cats most whimsical. Her Etsy store can be seen by (clicking here)






And speaking of Miniatures, I listed two new Skelly head beads today to my Etsy store. Y'arrrrrr! Pirates!
