"Moonlight Swim:"


I have no idea where the time goes. I haven't been very productive lately in terms of art & I have missed it dearly, I also haven't been blogging as is quite evident. I didn't feel like I had anything worth mentioning really.

The summer went way to fast. On a positive note I did get to exhibit my "Fairy Tree" picture at Mac-Worthington Gallery in Columbus, Ohio.

Currently I have the above piece "Moonlight Swim" on exhibit & will be going to the artist reception this Sat. 20th from 6-9. If you are in the area be sure to stop in & say hello! I will be looking for some other gallery's & venues in the upcoming year.

Happy Fall to everyone & I've missed my blog buddies.

Mermaid

by: Walter de la Mare

Leagues, leagues over the sea I sail Couched on a wallowing dolphin's tail.
The sky is on fire, the waves a-sheen,I dabble my foot in the billows green.
In a sea-weed hat on the rocks I sit,where tern and sea-mew glide and beat,and where dark shadows the cormorants meet.
In caverns cool when the tide's a wash,I sound my conch to the watery splash.
From out their grottos at evenings beam,the mermaids swim with locks agleam.

-------------------------------------

I hope you all had a great weekend. As always it was over too quickly but I did get some things accomplished.

Progress with my artwork at the gift shop has been made in a definite meeting with the owner to look over my work this Thursday. woo-hoo I'm getting excited.

Have a marvelous Monday tomorrow. Now I'm off to do laundry & crank out some pendants!

Little Mermaid

Hello my pretty little mermaids. These photos are of my version of the story "Little Mermaid" created for the Vintage Ephemera Group's "Once Upon A Fairytale Swap."

My oh so sweet partner noted that this was a favorite story of hers well how could I resist. You know I have a fondness for creating mermaids. Julie took these photos & posted them on Flickr.

So my little mermaid is appropriatly living with Julie aka: Cupcake DD now in sunny California close to the water no doubt!

I'll have to post the pics she out did herself sending me a oh so darling "Thumbelina" wait till you see her, plus other goodies. Thanks Julie!

Mermaid dreams your way I'm off to bed.......

Art-In-A-Carton

If you recall from a previous post I was asked to participate in a swap "Art-in-a-Carton" You create some artsy pieces & mail them off in a carton (or carton type item) to 3 fellow artists.

Cathy Minerva was the great lady that started me on to this. She sent some fun goodies in a can & I too used this idea. We don't drink anything in cartons so .... I found these fun little paint cans (at Menards) that I just covered in paper & embellished.

Then the fun task of filling them hmmmm I decided to include the things I love to make so that was simple;

1. mermaid shell ornie

2. pixie's in a pail,

3. faux cupcake,

4. fairy ATC's,

5. paper doll,

6. altered envelope,

7. art goodies (found objects)

So that in a nutshell er paint can is my version of art-in-a-carton

If you'd like to learn more go to the website www.art-in-a-carton.blogspot.com

I had a blast & can't wait to receive my 2 other cartons but better yet hear what the other girls thought of mine. :0)
