Happy Halloween

Halloween Party 2012

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love-

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,

Went envying her and me-

Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we-

Of many far wiser than we-

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,

In the sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

This poem always makes me tear when I read it. I just can't help it.

She will make a difference

Here's my latest mixed media portrait created on a 5" X 7" canvas. 

I love the way she turned out. Full of touchable texture.

I added a few fabric flowers and a paper leaf. The flowers are centered with some brads. 

I also stitched some sequins down around them with french knots.

Hope you like her!

You can find her in my shop!

Thanks for visiting!  :)

Under the Sea

Here fishy, fishy!

I couldn't resist making a mermaid painting again. I haven't created one in so long. 

This sweet little mermaid is playing and swimming about with her friends. 

You can find her in my shop.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! :)

Faith

Hello everyone! Here is my latest angel painting. You can find her in my shop. 

She was created on a 6" X 6" stretched canvas. 

My work in progress photo shows a few shots of how I painted her up and it also shows 

what I stamped and stitched together. The banner was created using canvas and felt.

For those kindred souls...

Have faith & believe in yourself.

Journey

Here is my newest painting. I had so much fun creating this mixed media portrait.

Tons of touchable texture on this one. Hope you guys like her.

 She is now in my shop here!

Thanks so much for continuing to follow me on my creative journey! 

Hugs,

Lisa :)

Dream Art Quilt

Hello everyone! Here is a new portrait art quilt I created using an original painting. I always have so much fun stitching up something new. 

I painted her first on canvas, then attached it directly onto the fabric with embroidery. Full of sweet embellishments.

You can find her in my shop here. 

Happy Thursday to you! Thanks for visiting! :)

Her Crowning Strength

Here is my latest mixed media painting. I just love the way she turned out. Above is a WIP photo I created. I try my best to take photos in between painting but sometimes I get lost in the creative process.

Size: 5" X 7" 

Full of touchable texture. 

You can find her in my shop! 

Wishing you all a happy Sunday tomorrow! Thanks for visiting! :)

Happy October!

(Sold, thanks!)

Hello My Pretties! I can't believe it is already October. How did that happen? Here is a witch pin I created using an altered image. I gave her a light acrylic wash in green for her skin color, of course. Also, a little jingle bell dangles at the bottom. Below is the witch cottage pincushion I created a while back. Both of these creations are now in my shop! :)
