Spring Inspired Pendants

04/09/2009

I have tons and tons of flower photos, so I’m making them into pendants! I’ll be adding them to my shop over the next several days.

I also have a ton of insect photography but I’m really not sure how well those would do. haha. I mean.. I think it would be cool to have a big cicada or caterpillar closeup around my neck, buuut… heh. What do you think?

Spring Garden Photos!

I’m so excited about my garden!  Spring comes a lot earlier to Texas than most parts, so my flowers were blooming strong last month and we planted all of our veggies.

Trouble.

I’ll probably be in trouble for posting this, but it cracks me up.

Husband-creature.

I love the coincidental matching t-shirt, by the way.

I told her she could have hands but only if she behaved. (Coming along slowly.)

Did the sketch for this about a year ago. Nice to see her in colour.

BIG Pendants

Human Heart in Flight

So I  made a few BIG pendants last week. These ones are all one of a kind because you’ll actually be wearing the original watercolor illustration around yer neck.  I’m having fun doing the little teensy paintings.  I haven’t worked this small probably since I stopped doing ACEOs a couple of years ago.

Interchangeable Magnetic Rings

02/24/2009

Well.. I was making some magnets out of left over marbles, and one decided to suck itself onto a ring base I had lying near by. DING DING! Idea time. :)

Spring Mix Interchangeable Rings

Available in my Etsy shop.

I’m probably going to do a few more sets, some art, some photography. Maybe some hand painted ones as well. Who knows.

Earrings. Uh huh.

Making pendants.

A few days ago I made a big run of pendants.  It was nice to get so many done in such a (relatively) short amount of time.  It’ll definitely save me time later.

I also started a new painting yesterday, but it’s still top secret.  Otherwise known as I haven’t uploaded any progress photos yet.

And now if you’ll excuse me, my husband is taking me to IHOP for our anniversary.  Yes, I really am that easy to please.

To the post with you!

Ready to mail.



I can’t decide which I like better. Getting mail, or sending it out. Hmmm.

Something To Hold Onto Pendant

02/01/2009

Moving Forward Pendant I just added a couple more pendants to my Etsy Shop, including this one.

I remember this being an especially fun/interesting painting to do because I was trying out a new (to me) technique with acrylics. It was built up slowly over many glaze layers.  I think it was about 25 layers in total.   I actually haven’t done another acrylic painting like it.

Anyway, I like how this pendant turned out.  I think the dark blue necklace (instead of black) compliments it nicely.

Here’s a quick video of the painting’s progression!
