Gingerbread Whimsy House Series

2008-09-20T15:12:00.006-04:00

My first mini Gingerbread house (that I'm saving for Christmas) was so much fun to create, that I had to make another! This Halloween Gingerbread Whimsy House, was the second, and has now inspired a whole new limited edition "Gingerbread Whimsy House" Series. Halloween Whimsy House is made on a 1:12 scale (1-inch=1-foot) used by miniature dollhouse collectors. So, for example, this tiny house

Dollhouse Kitties

♥ Just the size a real kitty would be if roaming around a house, this little black clay, 1:12 scale kitty is the right size to fit into a dollhouse for Halloween or any other time. You can buy him as your very own black cat pet at WonderWorks. ♥ The kittycat below is scared straight and sits on top of a 1:12 scale

Bird Commissions

2008-09-18T14:50:00.015-04:00

This pair of tropical birds was a recent commission. Painted in acrylic, they each measure 16"x20" I had a hard time getting the canvas moire' out of the photos. What's up with that? Anyway they must get blogged to save for posterity!They're not the cutest birds I've ever seen, but their colors are fairly true to life; painted from some botanical drawings. Imagine what beautiful plumage they must

The Mouse's House

2008-09-18T14:50:00.008-04:00

"Christmas Gray Mouse at the Door of Her House." Just had to share this little ornament I made yesterday as a special order.She's sculpted from colored polymer clay, and not even finished yet. When done she'll have two hooks on the back and will hang from a red silk ribbon bow. Think I'll be doing a line of these for the holidays. Call this a preview!

Falling

It's already September again. Seems like yesterday was January. Guess time does fly as you get older. But, I do so much love Fall, even though it's hard to tell here in Central FL. This month I'll be another year older and...better I hope. Some days I want to go back and do it all again differently, then there are other days I realize, (now that my head's screwed on a little straighter) I could

Circle of Friends

2008-08-27T09:42:00.014-04:00

Titled "Sea Circle" I entered this piece into the MiniMakers Vs. Mud Team Challenge. One team creates or chooses items to inspire the other team's presentations. Those pieces are then displayed on the Mud Team's website. (The Mud team does full sized pottery) I created the little avatar for teammates to display on their Etsy shops to advertise the challenge. Voting is open this week.Go here to

I forgot to add a picture of the most lovely little crochet collar I received from LavenderLizard, my assigned gift swap partner for the Military Brats 1st b-day celebration. I love it on my pale pink cashmere sweater. Now, if it'll get cold enough here to wear it, well that'll be the end all.It closes with a tie that should go in the back, but, putting it just off to the side in the front looked

Team Treasury

2008-07-31T15:44:00.007-04:00

This is a screenshot of the Etsy front page treasury I was featured in yesterday as a Military Brat Team member. My polymer clay handpainted letter "A" pendant is in the top right-hand corner. I grew up an AF brat, married AF, and gave birth to a career AF son. YIKES! How sweet! That coveted front page treasury position got me a slew of views to my AngeeArt.etsy.com shop. Also, over 30 people

A Great Day!

2008-07-30T18:01:00.008-04:00

What a wonderful day. It began with an Etsy convo from a customer who had viewed custom photos of this tiny Eeyore button I made for her, and sent rave reviews. Soon after, a trip to send mail. Got all the supplies I needed to complete my new edible sculpture project. Be looking for that coming soon!!!Then, I received the mini tools (not gonna give away trade secrets) I had finally found again

New Micro & Mini

2008-07-27T19:14:00.010-04:00

This week was filled with tiny orders I had a great time making. Gosh I love the challenge of combining custom pieces with amazingly small size. The lifesize inchworm measured 12mm and the ladybug 6mm.This custom "smoothie" blender keychain measures 1 1/2" tall and is made to look like it is filled with all kinds of fruit. Cute.This little blue piggy bank and the itty xylophone were fun to make

Edible Sculpture? Yum!

2008-07-20T01:39:00.016-04:00

After years of making tiny clay things for dollhouses, I finally got to try my hand at the real deal... fondant and gum paste. I whipped up these tiny sample candy veggies for Wendy's cupcakes; another Alchemy bid at Etsy. This first picture has the samples I sent her to choose from. The red cabbage, cob of corn, tomato, cauliflower, and artichoke were made from gumpaste. Gumpaste is a little

The Stash" a.chase ... Have you ever wondered where those sock mates went when you did the laundry? The image for this post is an original acrylic watercolor on illustration board. It was an experimental piece with a cut out where the eye looks through. I plan on using parts of the painting for my "Mouse Hole" series where I will be including other people's artwork.This week I plan on adding some

Does God Laugh?

2008-07-09T11:14:00.007-04:00

Last year I spent a good amount of time editing and designing the cover of Nan Hough's new book, "I Made God Laugh!" She has had great success with it so far, and I'm proud to be involved. So, thought I'd give her a little blog blurb to share it with all of you.It was published online by iUniverse which in itself was a unique and unusual experience. The process was "virtually" pain free. The

HOORAY! I finished the painting last night and was thrilled and elated. After working on her sooo very long, I finally could sign my name. (a definite client insistance... "my name") I sat back, poured myself a celebratory glass of wine, and admired her!This painting is very impasto which can't be seen in the photos. The thick 3-D strokes of paint all over the canvas darn sure stand out in person

For The Record

2008-07-05T15:58:00.006-04:00

Spent the morning bidding on Etsy Alchemy requests in hopes of garnering some projects. I adore the challenge of answering custom orders! This cat was an Alchemy bid I won and completed. Made for a client whose cat died in a fire as a memorial stone portrait, she's life size, weighs 7 pounds, and painted in acrylic on river rock. The stone was finished with matte UV protectant spray to make it

With flags flying high and the fresh scent of watermelon wafting in the wind, I wish you all a happy forth of July. Happy Birthday America! I adore fireworks, so tonight I will see the rocket's red glare in spewing splendor once more. For this reason mostly, I love this day! Rose early this morning and washed the patio window. My gosh... it let in the dawn's early light. Amazing! A first light

It's Marilyn!

2008-07-04T09:56:00.009-04:00

Currently finishing up a huge commission that is probably the hardest painting I've ever done. The challenge is to take a very large 3.5' x 4.8' abstract watercolor print of Marilyn Monroe, and reproduce her into an original acrylic on canvas. I've spent weeks trying to make her look like an acrylic watercolor on canvas which is just ... impossible. Hello! The client wanted me to transform her

First Light

After checking the etsy forums yesterday I ran across a thread about blogs. I'd started a blogspot in 2006, ran out of steam a couple of months after, and it's been defunct for all this time. I started another on MySpace, but that one seemed too busy and didn't get any serious attention. Plus, the blog there is just too troublesome to post and upload pics to. And... after all it is MySpace! Take
