A Productive Day

So much new has been happening around here. 

Which is why my house is a mess and I haven't done the dishes in days. 

There is also a mountain of laundry all over my room. 

This week's goal is to clean the house. 

It's gonna happen...

because I'm finally getting to my previous goals of listing new things! 

It's been forever. I know.

It feels good to accomplish goals. 

But today is a fun day... 

biggest shop update ever.

because not only am I listing original art and prints,

I'm listing over 15 new necklaces into the shop... 

And not only that.. I now have a fun little stamp line over at 100proofpress!

Sara from 100proofpress contacted me a little bit ago about collaborating for a stamp collection, and it's finally finished and available for sale! The stamps are about 10.00 a piece and hand made from my art.

Check them out here

I also decided to sell the originals to each of those stamps in my shop.

I'm not entirely sure if I will sell prints to them.

But I'll be selling the originals for sure. 

I've decided to price them pretty low too!

Each original will be priced at 35.00.

The ink drawing is done on thick white paper in ink. 

It measures about 7X9 inches.

I'll be adding better photos later today. 

The link to each piece is under the photo. 

"Bird"

"Bone Collector"

Due to a slight problem with the original only prints will be sold of this one.

"Wig"

 

"Love"

"Sugar Skull"

"Twins"

I also have a few other originals for sale.

These ones include India ink for some more shading.

These ones are $55.00 in the shop.

"Dragged Down" 

"Change"

"Queen"

And I've finally listed all those new necklaces I've been talking about and working on for so long! 

Check them out here

Most of them are one of a kind and won't be sold again..

So, get them while you can! 

I've got some art print necklaces, some wood burned, and some hand painted. 

What a wonderful and productive Wednesday... 

Now I can get started on cleaning the house?

The Little Things

I've been busy. So so busy.

Yesterday was my first teaching job. 

I was terrified. 

And, today I have another one.

I'm just as terrified. 

I didn't get a chance to post on my blog yesterday! 

(I never miss Mondays!)

This last weekend, I was able to spend a bit of time in my studio.

I've got 3 big paintings to show you.. but I haven't had time to photograph them.

I was able to photograph the little things! 

After all, it's the little things that are important.

 I've got two mini paintings to add to the shop! 

These ones are going for $22.00.

It includes an easel too.

These are perfect and portable little paintings! 

They look awesome on bookshelves, desks, and bedside tables. 

I also do custom painting of these, for about the same price! 

Just send me an email.

I also worked on 6 new necklaces...

These are not print necklaces, these are original paintings for your neck! 

Each one was painted individually, and had a lot of thought put behind it.

They are darling. I even wore one teaching! 

I tried to have them reflect my other paintings. 

These necklaces are going for $26.00.

Pretty good right?

 "Create" 

This one is painted with  acrylic paint, stucco, crackle paint, and tissue paper, on a wood base.

It's been sealed with a varnish to make it last!

 I won't be able to list these on etsy until later tonight..

so, since you guys have seen them early, and because you are all my dear friends, you get first dibs!

Send me an email if you want to put one of these on hold.

Monday Giveaway- Win a SHINE Necklace!

Hello everyone! 

I am almost all the way unpacked!

Everything I own is in the new house, and it's been a crazy weekend. 

My feet are blistered from being on them so much.

My fingers feel a bit like velcro from all the scrubbing.

My back hurts from lifting.

But it's been worth it!

I'm the type that keeps on going until it's done.

I would rather be in a new place and sore in two days,

than drag it out over a week or two.

But hey! 

It's Monday, and it's time to announce the winner of the camera giveaway.

First, I would like to say THANK YOU! 

Thank you everyone who entered and shared the links! 

Hosting giveaways is fun. 

Some of the giveaways I have done and are planning on doing come from my own pocket. 

I don't ask people to donate things, I buy them, and choose to give them away. 

It's a lot of fun! I love giving gifts and presents. 

This is probably why my bank account still hasn't recovered since Christmas. 

But hey, it's fun.

Of course, I DO leave the option for giveaways as a sponsorship option. (wink wink)

It's kind of nice to give stuff away, while supporting other shops and blogs! 

I like having weekly giveaways. 

I took a little break in December and Januaray.

But I'm trying to get back!

Now, before I announce the winner, I have another giveaway!

Part of the proceeds  got to The Shine Project Scholarship Fund,
 helping inner city high school students attend college.
