Ok.....DON'T Laugh...

I thought I'd try my hand at art...my oldest son and daughter are both good at it. My hubby, who is an artist (darn good one too, imho) and when I showed him this ACEO (art cards, editions and originals) he was like, "it's good".



Anyways, with all the creative juices constantly flowing throughout my family, this is what I came up with. It's an original drawing/sketching using charcoal and colored pencils on matte paper measuring 3.5 x 2.5 inches. My oldest son saw it and was like, "is that an expression of how you are feeling?" Wow, kids can pick up on everything! I dunno about that, but if I get a lot of positive feedback on this I may have a new "art section" in my shop!

Keeping It In The Family...

You all know that I have dabbled in a bit of art in my high school years. But what you don't know is that I have a few talented artists in my family as well! My neice came over a couple of days ago to show my husband (an artist) some of her work. As you can see, she's definitely quite an artist! Go Shae!

Double WHAMMY!!

Wow what a glorious Monday morning! I woke up and snagged this treasury and I can't begin to tell you how EXCITED I am! I included many of my favorite Etsy artists whom I admire and respect. THEN I got this convo from The Silver Dog Jewelry to tell me that she's included my fingerless gloves in this treasury! I truly hope that one of these babies makes it to the front page of Etsy, and that a lot of unrecognized talent will finally have their spotlight moment!

Art BLASTS From The PAST

While visiting my parents this past summer in Chicago, I came across some of my old artwork that I did in high school! I was amazed that I was able to do this over (ahem) 20 years ago. Click here to see the entire collection!
