Kindred Cuties...more of Batch 1

Hello fellow bloggers! Hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a special day! Thanks so much for your continued support in my art & blog! I really appreciate all the love & friendships I have found here in blogland. :)

Here are more of my Kindred Cuties from Batch 1. From left to right, meet #3 Celeste, #4 Diana Barry & #5 Emma. They were all painted & created on ACEO's (Art Cards, Editions & Originals), which are 2.5" X 3.5" on chipboard.

I had so much fun creating these girlies. You're welcome to view more photos and info on these Kindred Cuties currently now on ebay.

Bitten

Over a year ago now, I was bitten by the Twilight Saga. I had read the books only after watching "Twilight" in the theater. I became instantly captured by the love story written by Stephenie Meyer.

I absolutely fell in love with Edward and Bella's story. The hubby surely knew this as well and he surprised me with a couple of the audiobooks last Christmas. Listening to the books this way made their story even more special for me. I sketched Edward on canvas around the same time last year and decided to paint him up just last night in honor of the movie "New Moon" coming out today. I made sure to paint him while I listened to "New Moon" on audiobook to help inspire me even more. You can tell from the photo above that I initially had other plans for how his hair should be.

As for now, Edward is still a work in progress. I also still plan to paint Bella as soon as possible too. You can tell from the photo below that Edward yearns for Bella to complete him as well.

Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Kindred Cuties

Here is my new series collection, "Kindred Cuties". Inspired for my love of "Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery and also richly inspired by all the magical friendships I have made here in blogland. You are all "Kindred Cuties" in my book. Thanks so much for blessing me with your friendships and following me on this creative journey!

Magical Gifts

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for all the touching comments on our 3rd Collaboration painting! We really appreciate it! :D

I wanted to share my Halloween swap card I sent out to Becky of www.beckyshander.com. My swap was an ATC (Artist Trading Card), which is 2.5" X 3.5". I'm so glad she liked it. :)

I had so much fun creating this for Becky! It was completely hand stitched and created using fabric, felt, glitter, a crocheted flower, brads & acrylic paints.

Also, Thank You sweet Sanda of http://cardsanddreams.blogspot.com/ for passing the Kreativ Blogger Award! Sanda is a fabulous artist and also a member of my art journaling group. Sanda creates lovely handmade cards, collages, beautiful paintings and so much more. Please visit her site when you get a chance. Thanks again Sanda!

Alice Lisa

Happy November! Hope you all had a great Halloween! I think I devoured ate too much chocolate, if that's even possible.


Last month I shared one of my submissions for Somerset Studio The Art of Paper and Mixed Media here. This happens to be not only another submission, but also the third collaboration with the hubby, Marc!


Just in case you didn't know, the submission request was for an "Alice in Wonderland Theme" due out in the March/April 2010 issue. And since the much anticipated movie from Tim Burton is also coming out, they asked us to "feel free to interpret Alice through Tim Burton's eyes".


And to finish off our third collaboration idea, we were surely inspired as well by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa aka La Gioconda, hence was created...
"Alice Lisa".

Thanks again for all your touching support & comments! We really appreciate it! And if you haven't already, the poll for our next collaboration is still on my sidebar.

Creative Blessings,
Marc & Lisa :)
