FairyTale Art Print Sale

I've got a SALE on all of my

Fairy Tale Art Prints

in my Etsy Shop.

I will run the Sale through Next Week

and then I'll replace those

with something else in my Shop.

Cooking Snow White

Here is the finished

commissioned painting...

"Cooking Snow White".

It took some doing to get it

off my ailing computer and onto

a hosting service...

but..

'here it is'.

I'm not sure what I've done...but the picture isn't uploading at the

correct size...I've tried to correct it but...

alas...

I must not know what I'm doing!

Busy..busy...busy!

I am 'forcing' myself to take a quick break
from all of the work I have to do...
and write a quick note on this blog.

I've put the first 'postcard pack' in
my Etsy Shop.
There will be more coming...as soon as I
can take the time to choose just the right
pieces to offer.

I am in the middle of working on the two
commission pieces...wished they were further along.
Doing commission pieces is not something
I do very often....I prefer doing whatever
'moves me at the moment'.
But...one of the pieces I'm working on is such a
'challenge'
for me that I couldn't say no.

There will be some original ACEO paintings...I wanted to
do some 'dark fairy tale' pieces to go along with
my dolls...coming soon.
Hopefully I'll have a few to put in my
Shop
by the weekend.

I suppose I'd better get back to the
commissions...
I am also hoping to have those ready to mail,
either
this week-end,
or the first of next week.

A Successful Fair!

Here is Jaime...sitting at our booth!
I took a couple of pictures
while things were slow.
We were set up in the University Basketball arena...you can see
all of the bleacher seats behind her
as well as a few of the wood pieces of the fellow
set up beside us.

Here are photos of some of our
art dolls, art boxes...
some Seasonal Dolls and ornaments
and
a handful of our postcards.

We had to do a several postcard printings
(and a few prints too)
to keep up with the demand.
and....Our poor art pendant tree is sooo depleted...

I sold almost all of my
'Fairy Tale' art dolls...
so I need to get busy and create some
new ones.

I'm pretty sure we sold 'some' of everything we brought in.

It was a great experience
(although sooo very exhausting....I'm still in recovery mode)
and I'm glad we decided to do the show.
(I'm also glad we won't be doing it next year...
this was the last year the Fair will be
held in Lincoln.)

We're already having to 'gear up' for the next
show...
October 10th and 11th.

I have more pictures to share
in later posts...

A Couple New Digital Pieces....

I'm going to be listing a couple of new digital originals in my shop in the next day or two...either late Thursday or Friday.

The first piece...is the first in my 'Grimms Fairy Tales' digital series...and it is titled..."The Girl Without Hands"............here is an excerpt from that tale...

So he went to the girl and said, my child, if I do not cut off both your hands, the devil will carry me away, and in my terror I have promised to do it. Help me in my need, and forgive me the harm I do you. She replied, dear father, do with me what you will, I am your child. Thereupon she laid down both her hands, and let them be cut off.

The second piece....( still untitled ) was started, after I ran across the lyrics of an Evanescence song...

Field of Innocence
Evanescence

I still remember the world

From the eyes of a child

Slowly those feelings

Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone

An uneven trade for the real world

Oh I... I want to go back to

Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

...it kind of took on a 'life of it's own'...and didn't really stay within the 'perimeters' of the lyrics...but, I like it...so I let it 'do it's own thing'.
