Update and Surprise!

Hello my lovely bloggers! I can't believe it's been so long since

I've posted. I just wanted to update you on my art as well as a

little surprise at the end of this post. I did manage to create a
few paintings that kept me busy while I was away.

As you already know, I love using mixed media in most of my art.

These two girlies turned out super cute. They were created on
stretched canvas. The painting on the left is a sweet angel that is
no longer available : ) ... of course as you can see at the top of my
blog, I couldn't resist in making her my new banner. I really enjoyed
creating both of these paintings. The angel was created using layers
of collage papers, acrylic paint and a crackle treatment for her wings.
She also has a tiny leather flower I added to her headband with a brad.

(SOLD, thanks!)

Both paintings were sanded and distressed for the prim appearance
I love. The portrait piece above has an added lace trim as well as
a handmade leather flower centered with a decorative nail. You
can find her now listed in my etsy shop here.

Before I share more of my art, I wanted to thank
sweet and talented Kiki aka Victoria Pettella of http://awakewithcharmandspirit.blogspot.com/

post "Creative Spotlight: You Inspire me..". Kiki manages
a few magical blogs where she inspires me with her
words and creations all the time. You can find her lovely
feature here. Thank you again Kiki!

Here is another piece I created while I was away from blogland. A
cutie angel portrait. Her eyes are a bit larger than the ones I usually
do. I love the way she turned out.

This one is also full of touchable texture! You can find her now
on ebay here.

 

And the last piece I wanted to share with you today
is my newest witch painting. I think she turned out
spooktacular. Like the angel piece above,
this cutie witch was created on canvas board.

The witch painting is packed with mixed media including
vintage dictionary pages I used as the collage background
as well as to make handmade flowers with too. She is
embellished with metallic paint and adhesive bling.


And last but not least...

I wanted to THANK all my kindred spirits that commented on my last post!!! It really meant

special commenters were added to a ...
