Mini Photo Diary

A couple of shots of something I was messing about with at the end of last week - a jade cabochon on an aged bronze adjustable ring, adorned with teeny tiny cogs and watch parts. I adore Steampunk and realised it's about time I created some items of my own. There are a few more jewellery items I'm still working on. I'll let you know if they work out. Who knows - some might even creep into the shop if they're good enough ;)

Our kitchen shelf. I might get more of the toadstool wallpaper printed just to go at the back there!

I picked up this extra-cute plate from Tiger Stores yesterday and decided to serve a spring onion garnish to go with our hearty winter stew (which can turn it's hand to many styles - we also garnished with mustard, cheese, chilli or fajita seasoning, so we could choose what we wanted. YUM!)

Regency portraits and something else for the walls...

Morning! I seem to have been playing catch-up (and winning!) so far today, after yesterdays' slumber and my neck refusing to cooperate with my wishes the couple of days prior to that, then before that, the internet going awol... Anyhooo...

Today, I've finished two new Sense and Sensibility paintings - this little Marianne Dashwood as a comission for a lovely lady who missed Marianne #1! Here she is:

I'll be making prints of her soonly!

There are already prints available IN THE SHOP of Marianne #1:

I try not to make them look exactly the same when I paint the same character more than once - although they do have a tendency to resemble one-another. I guess it's like movie and TV adaptations - some people prefer or have more of an affinity with one actor in comparison to another, so I suppose here it gives you a little more choice!

 

 This is the lovely eldest Dashwood sister, Elinor (#2!)

Original Elinor Dashwood portrait - acrylic on paper (5 x 7.8")

 

I rather enjoyed painting her velvety charcoal dress - want one!

This is Elinor #1:

There are also a few new little ACEO girls available, whom I didn't get chance to blog about yet. A couple have gone already, but do have a rifle through the 'Original ACEOs' section if you wish ;)

Oh and I haven't yet shared with you my new wallpaper design! It's taken from my little 'Alice'-inspired toadstool painting:

Thank you SPOONFLOWER!

One day soon, I'm hoping to order enough to cover at least part of a wall. I think it would look amazing in a child's bedrrom, ina  little alcove or something... If you like it, you can see it if you CLICK HERE, TO SEE MY SPOONFLOWER SHOP. SOOO excited!

 

Hope you're having a wonderous week!
