New Treasury Featuring my ACEO "Zinnia moving Inward"

Sharon from Manamon treated me with a lovely treasury, called "On the Fringe" this morning.
It'll be up till Tuesday morning, so if you get a chance, stop by to see the other artists beautiful work.

Sharon creates the most wonderful jewelry in her Etsy shop These are some of my favorites from her selections offered:

Suleka is a lovely keychain featuring dangly charms including whimsical brass flowers with a section of stacked Czech glass beads, Swarovski crystals and plated pewter beads in silver and gold all adding to it's ethereal charm. Beautiful!

"Vintage Nouveau" features a lovely painted Abalone shell pendant in a vintage floral pattern with an antiqued brass vintage stamping of a woman sitting in a half moon. The ends feature ornate antiqued brass caps and a handmade antiqued Bronze chain made from spooled wire.

And last, but not least, "Submerged" features Czech glass in deep turquoise and patina sand dollar connectors with antiqued bronze, all handmade from spooled wire. I love how whimsical these earrings are!

Weekly Challenge at Inspiration Avenue- Hidden

So with the crazies involved in having a holiday party plus trying to get a commission done on time, I really didn't think I'd be able to submit anything this week! BUT, as luck would have it, my ten year old son has developed an aversion to having his picture taken, and VOILA!! I now have some pictures representing the word "hidden". They are not *great* pictures by any means or anything approaching "art" but they do illustrate the word.....

New Treasury Featuring my original tulip painting, "Moonlight Sonata"

Angie of Art Angel (one of my favorite Etsy shops!) was sweet enough to include me and some of my Inspiration Avenue friends in her new treasury. It's up till Monday morning, so take a look if you get a chance.
In the meantime, here is some of Artangel's fabulous work!

This is an example of a custom order piece Angie has available. The canvas is painted with acrylic paints, and each heart is each individually cut by hand from various collaged papers- often from her old artwork and sketch book pages. I LOVE this piece, for more information, click HERE.

This is "Little Bird", one of Angie's original paintings, I really enjoy the way the patterns run through the entire composition; lovely!

I really like the title of this one, "Ebb and Flow" here's a bit from the listing description: "An original, contemporary mixed media painting on canvas. This is an abstract painting inspired by the ebb and flow of the tides, and the natural forms of the pebbles and stones washed up by the sea."

Don't Forget! My giveaway ends in two days!

Here's a friendly reminder that my current giveaway ends on the 21st, the day after tomorrow!

If you haven't already entered, don't delay! I'll be running the Random Number Generator sometime after lunch on Monday.
Good Luck!

12 Days of Christmas....

In my excitement over soon recieving the ACEO's from the 12 Days of Christmas exchange I participated in, I decided to do a posting representing each day with a variety of Etsy artisans. Some of these were harder to find than others, so I had to be a bit "open" in my interpretations but, I think you'll ENJOY them all the same!
