Inked

I was so thrilled with excitement to receive an update from a lovely young lady for whom I had recently done a custom sketch:

She kindly let me know that it is now permanently 'embedded' in her:

A Painted Editorial

After having ooh-ed and aah-ed for quite some time over La Petite magazine, I was thrilled to be approached by them a while ago for a collaboration to be featured in their latest issue.

I have been working on this project behind-the-scenes, and now that the magazine's current issue is released, I am so excited to be able to share this painted-editorial-of-sorts with you!

I did one of their fashion spreads, which I imagined as diorama scenes from a rather whimsical natural history museum, and I must admit I had the loveliest of times working on this feature, especially since I got to style what each little cutie wears myself!

The original paintings in this series will be available soon, as I am still looking for the perfect frames for them to live in...
You can see my painted editorial here, and of course, the rest of this beautiful, bursting-with-sweetness publication!

A lovely weekend to you all,
xoxo

In Which A Christmas Tree Becomes A Gathering OF Friends

I love, love, love putting up the tree...
even more so when it is populated by such adorable critters :)

Celebration Day, Sale~Embracing Weekend

The little shop has just reached 1,000 sales...(!)

(insert happy little dance with muffled cries of joy as to not wake up my hedgehog of a boyfriend)

So in light of this incredibly humbling event, of which I am in complete awe and gratefulness, I would like to take this as an opportunity to say a thousand thank-you's to everyone who has adopted something I have created, be it a painting, a doll, a print or anything else I have come up with. It really, really means much more to me than any of you will ever know.

A thousand thank-you's to everyone who has ever read this blog, your love and support are more important to me than words can ever describe.

A thousand thank-you's to my Hedgehog, for all his love, encouragement and willingness to share in all the make~believe that is my life.

A celebration is in order, you say?
I say an even better way to go about this is by Sale(embracing)!!!
So starting a few minutes from now and up to Cyber Monday night (November 29th), everything in the shop will be 25% off.

I am off to get some (much needed) sleep!

Shop Update

These two will be in the shop at at 3.00 pm EST
A lovely week to all of you!

A Craving For Hugs

An adorable rascal of a hedgehog came to live with us yesterday.

I am utterly in love with his clever looking dark eyes, and his arms-wide-open posture...it
is almost as if he is longing to be held at all times...
(I spent the better half of the afternoon holding him close, so I should know)
And his furry (rather than thorny) nature makes him quite the ideal companion, now
that crisp, winter-y days are getting closer :)

The Love Bandits

I am really, really excited to finally be able to share with you a painting from the new collection that I am currently working on...

I have already finished about four pieces, and it really is turning out to be quite the assemblage:)
I love the beginnings of each new collection, especially when I have done several pieces,
and I get to see them one next to the other up on the wall...
(It reminds me of a minuscule version of an exhibition)
{and a very private one, for that matter, now that I think about it :)}

This will be an assembly of outcasts, runaways, pirate-y gals,
curious and enigmatic characters,
little ghosts and vintage toys.

And without further ado, here is the first one:

The Love Bandits, acrylics on canvas, 16 x 12 in.

Shop Update Tomorrow!

The Curiouser and Curiouser Collection will make its way to the little shop
tomorrow, September 21st, at 3.00 pm EST.
A lovely week to all of you!
I am off to get some (much needed) rest :)
