New Ebay Listing....

"Petra Pumpkin" Mixed Media Painting

It's been quite a while since my last listing on ebay. Seems like after the holidays are over....so is my creative flow....lol

This painting was fun to create. I upcycled a raised panel painting that I had left over from the holidays.

This large painting measures 13 inches wide by 14 inches high with a wire hanger that adds another 3 inches. It also features a distressed paint finish.

The raised panel painted surface measures 7 1/4 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches high. Petra has been painted with acrylic paints and has been sealed to protect her.

Her hat and collar have been cut from the pages of an early 1900's book. Her tophat is adorned with a rosette made from orange crepe paper and has a vintage celluloid button center. It also features an irredescent peacock feather.

She's Finally Finished! May I present to you.....Vladimira!

Well.....FINALLY! I thought I would never see the daylight! LOL Why she took so long to come to life, I have no clue. I just could not seem to get her finished! HA! Maybe it's because she's one of those "ladies of the night" perhaps? She wanted to be born in the darkness of the night? Yeah....I think that's my excuse for taking so long to complete this one! ;o) Sounds like a good excuse to me!

I really think that the reason is because I wanted something really special to go in this amazing frame. I think I honestly wanted to hang onto it, because I might never find one quite as perfect as this again. So by not finishing her.......I was getting to enjoy looking at her just hanging around the house for months! =o)

But, she's finished now and I think that this has to be my favorite paintings of all time! I LOVE the way the frame looks framing her. It's shape reminds me of a mausoleum, like the old ones that you see in spooky old cemeteries. So with that observation came the idea for my first vampiress.


Her name is Vladimira, which is the feminine version of Vladimir, and I hope you will stop by and visit her eBay auction. Oh.....and don't forget to wear your garlic necklace.........*giggle*

Can You Guess?

What I made the rosette from on my newest painting? Take a guess and if you are the first person to guess correctly, I will send you a little surprise! You have up until 9:30pm EST Sunday June 14th when she will then be listed on eBay. One guess per person.........Good Luck to everyone!

Wonderful Sisters...........

I belong to two very amazing eBay groups..........both EHAG and PFATT. This spring, each of these groups had a swap and I signed up to do both. In an earlier post, I shared the gifts that I got to send and now I want to share with you all what I received. I know that the saying goes......."It's better to give than receive" but it's SO much fun to get to unwrap these special treats when they arrive! =o)

Here are my PFATT swap gifts before their unwrapping.........


Here are all the goodies that I received from Pam of Softinthehead for the PFATT Swap! OH MY!!!!!!! I was once lucky girl! Thank you so much Pam for all the sweet gifts! Your little mousie is so cute! I love my little pumpkin guy! The Bethany Lowe garland is so yummy! I love the Martha Stewart tags and my card! The witch sign and the wax ornie are perfect! You were way too good to my girlfriend!! =o)


And below is my wonderfully sweet EHAG swap gift that I received from Amelia aka Sweet B Folk Art! Isn't he adorable??? And she gave me the cutest card and some Smarties candy to fill him up with! Jadyn's favorite candy is Smarties, so this made her extra happy!!


So a big "Thank You" SweetB!! I will treasure my little treat jar forever!!! Oh and I almost forgot that she sent me the sweetest little vintage five and dime store charm bracelet to use in creating my art! Can't wait to use the little skull charm!

Meet Bunnita the Bunny Diva!

This little bunny painting was so much fun to create! She was supposed to be finished and listed on Sunday night but the flu hit our house again and Jadyn was sick with that, plus an ear infection too! This bout included a trip to the ER on Thursday evening. Well....we all know how much fun that it........not! LOL She's doing better now, but we have to get that ear cleared up and hopefully the medicine will stay down so it can do its job.


So it was a wonder that I got this painting finished at all! lol I hope you will stop by HER EBAY AUCTION and take a little peek. She ends next Monday evening at 9:00pm EST-6:00pm PDT.

Thanks for stopping by!
