What a Wonderful Treasury

Well...it was a wonderful Treasury.
It has ended now, so the link no longer works.
It's too bad they don't switch up what makes the front page more often than they do because, this Treasury was really one of the best I'd ever seen...and, I never thought about getting the store name of the person who put it together...for some reason, I thought the link would be permanent..guess I'll know better next time!
I did have a piece in this Treasury..which was the reason I ran acrossed it in the first place...
too bad I don't know how to capture these little diddies...I sure would have liked to have shared it with you.

Sharing the Love....

I ran across this picture and had to share...homely or not...I think these guys are too sweet!

Speaking of sharing...I have been including the Etsy shops of artists whose work I admire, on my Rustic Goth Squidoo Lens. Check them out..

This lens has really been climbing up in the 'Arts and Literature' ranks so, I've decided I'm going to do a new lens JUST for the shops of others.

Like getting hit in the gut with a speeding paint bullet...

...it might be great fun, but it looks painful as heck!

Kind of like, self marketing!
Whew!!!
I'd rather be painting!

I am Weak...I'll admit it!!!

I have this adorable little tote bag available in my Cafe Press Shop. I am especially proud of my Summer Poppy painting that I used as decor.

So...I had decided that I was going to do my very, very best to only put a positive foot forward. And, I think I've been doing pretty darned good...ah..then this evening I ran across a 'Monkeybrain' eBay debate in Squidoo and fell to temptation.

I just HAD to add my two cents!!! Shame on me!

I do love to browse through Squidoo and read the lens' though!

I think my own lens' are worth a read as well...

have a look at my first one....

Did you see...?

...I'm out there on Trunkt!

I've included a 'widget' that links to my Trunkt site. I still need to do some work on it...but I was only JUST approved, so I haven't had a chance to finish it.

I've made three trips to Omaha in just over a week...this from someone who rarely leaves the house...talk about messing with my routine!!!

It has put me behind though...so, I'm hoping I can spend the rest of the week getting everything 'back to normal'...at least, normal for me! My house is 'trashed'...I haven't painted in a week...I've got shipping to do...and I've started up several new sites...........WOW! No wonder I feel tired!!

I'm Getting Around

"Bella's Bat" appeared for a brief time in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop, as a Limited Edition ACEO Print.

She's baaaack...this time on Art Cards Wanted. Com.

I am offering only a few select pieces on that site and this is one of them.

I've included a link to that site in my Favorite Links.

Do try to check out my Rustic Goth Squidoo Lens. I update it several times throughout the day and I have included a growing list of links to other talented artists on that site. You just might find some new and emerging talent on one of my list links.

In the meantime, I will continue to add pieces from my late husband's 'Barren Trees' series, as Limited Edition ACEO prints on my http://cmzart.etsy.com/ site.

Check it out!!! I noticed there are some new pieces just available at http://www.trunkt.org/BellatrixArt. These are some really great pieces.

While I am at it, if you love jewelry, you'll simply love http://distinque.etsy.com/. I'm especially fond of her 'leaf' pieces. I think they are absolutely exquisite.

Participating in Art Against Aids - Chicago

Once against I am participating in the Art Against Aids - Chicago. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the event in person, but I was able to again give one of my favorite paintings to the event in the hopes they might be able to raise money for this cause.
We have sent paintings for the past two or three years. This was Jaime's painting from last year, now on display at the Illinois Institute of Art.
Check out this link...it is the third painting down...
