Thankful for my Gift of Creativity

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my faithful followers. No funky turkeys to show, no long drawn out story about what kind of potato we'll prepare for our feast...even though I am making my fam fav smashed ones! Once more I am here to share.

New 2010 Line of Handcrafted Clay Gift Tags @ AngeeArt

I am thankful for those that peek in from time to time to explore my ever inspired creations. Thankful for the friends from across the globe that enjoy my tiny contributions and pat my back occasionally. Grateful for the opportunity to continue a record of... my ever increasing world of wonder. Thanks for traveling along!

Take a look at my latest. These little clay gift tags are perfect for adding that extra special touch to all of your holiday or celebration gift packages. They make awesome wine or phone charms, and pendants too!

Jump on over to AngeeArt to see the whole line. I'm almost adding new cuties every day until this inspiration plays out. If you're interested in ordering custom or quantity, message me on facebook and let's chat in realtime. >>> Chat with me here: Angee ~ Fan my AngeeArt Page here: http://facebook.com/AngeeArt or

Oh yeah, almost forgot!!! Be looking for my new tiny "Captured Faeries" and "Bumble Babes" that are already at WonderWorks! I caught a whole tribe and just tonight found tiny homes for them. They'll be listed soon so you can have a Faerie or Bumble of your very own!

Again... No matter where you are, stop for a moment and make note of those things you're grateful for and say thanks!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A Bird in the Hand!

These are my newest listings from WonderWorks... a rash of bird inspirations. :)

A while back I was inspired to make an itty bitty Flamingo. He's just the right size, measuring a whole 1.25" tall and resembles all those plastic pink things in Florida yards that everyone kids about!

So... the Flamingo inspired the Goose.

A wonderful little piece to include in any dollhouse garden area or even sweet for a child's mini room box.

And finally, the Goose inspired the Swimming Swan.

When researching the Swan, I found out they carry their babies on their backs. Didn't know that. So making her, taught me something new.

How sweet! So, of course I had to add three wee little ugly duckling babies that can be removed from the Mom's winged back to trail along behind her.

So...

I can make a whole gaggle of geese, or a swarm of swans (jk) if you want some for your room box. Just get in touch and I'll be glad to whip some up for you!

Hope you like them.

Mini Sinks and Cooler Weather!

Fall just brings the romance out in me and gets those creative juices flowing. Seems I spend from September to December making lovely little gifts and creations for everyone and am left with no time to make my own! That's okay...I guess I have a little "Santa" in my blood! ;)

(New added photos of the finished sinks)

Happy October! Just popping in to give you all a peek at the new order from WonderWorks. Fun, fun, fun! Now I have everything including ... the kitchen sink! :)


They measure 2.5" x 1.5" tiny and detailed. Much harder to make than they look, that's for sure! Whew! {want one?}

Have a most wonderful fall...yall!

OMG! Hey!

I have forgotten all about you sweet little blog. So busy coming and going and doing and creating I have neglected to post. Sigh! Please forgive.

To catch you up on my latest endeavors...here goes.
In the last few weeks I was commissioned to make some Mod Mini Furniture for a client that makes music videos. Really curious to see and hear, although I may never get to. Anyway, here's hoping he'll let me check it out when finished.

Original funiture photo used to create from.

This is the finished set I created (sculpted) made to look like the furniture in the photo. Keep in mind, the photo furniture is realtime and mine is 1:12 scale. It was awesomely hard (since I had never done anything like it before) but so much fun to make.

Before doing this, I added these to my mini toy line in my WonderWorks Shop. Mostly boy toys that seem to be few and far between.

So, these little guys are now part of my new mini family. Oh yeah, I also sold a xylophone and my pale blue OOAK shiny vase.

ANNOUNCING:::

And now my latest... I've opened a new shop on Etsy. For all this time I've avoided selling any graphic work (that I have a career in) there, because it sells so cheaply. Finally decided that selling pre-made designs isn't really so bad. So, make sure you go have a look see. If you need any graphic work give me a shout! :) http://HeadlineDesign.etsy.com

My Art & Vintage Was Included!

Unbelievable.
Okay, you know the saying "What goes around comes around." Well if you recall, awhile back I had a hay day making treasuries on Etsy. Posted them here because I wanted to share them with someone besides those included! I really had a great time hunting and finding some Etsy 'awesomeness', collecting and coordinating them together. I even found a couple of artists for interviews on my Creative Class Blog.

Shortly after my treasury spree, I began receiving messages from people who had included some of my items in their treasuries. I didn't know any of these people and none had been in the treasuries I curated. To top it all off they were all really well done. WooHoo! (click on all the links and have a look-see)

First, Jane included my antique cast iron and silverplate corn daggers from AngeeArt in this thank-you treasury for answering in a forum post. "Thanks For The Memories"



Second, oddly enough right after the daggers, MS added my vintage ceramic corn cob bowls from AngeeArt to this very fun summer corn collection. You have to see this one! "As Corny As Kansas In August"

Third, Lily wrote, "I featured your pretty placemats in a treasury-check it out!" My placemats from AngeeArt, made from an original pencil illustration went in this one. "Chick Is Bananas"

Fourth, Heidi wrote, "I picked your beautiful stone portrait for my CATS treasury! So, my cat on stone was included in this sweet kitty treasury. He looks so good there. "Cats!"

And finally, Rose wrote, "Your lovely item is here in my Blue and Cream Vintage guide." My aunt's gorgeous ceramic tea & coffee service was chosen for "Blue and Cream Vintage"

Can you believe this? Yep, it's true...pay-backs are heaven! ;-}

Emma's Fingers & Toes

Sweet little Emma. She just turned 7 and requested these nails. She had a grand part in their design, after all, they were going on her nails and she deserved to have her favorite colors. I just loved painting these tiny emmatoes and fingers... that is after we soaked all the flip-flop dirty off! :) Now she's a little lady and knows what a green thumb is!

Sweetheart Hotel Sells

Thought I would share the following sweet sentiment sent by the new owner of the "Sweetheart Hotel" #1 from my Whimsy House Gingerbread Series. At times I think it is the pleasure people get from my work that keeps me creating more.

Hi Angee:

Wow what a presentation! This is just awesome!!! You are so creative & talented, and I have a big happy smile on my face. Your little card with the instructions was perfect, no problems opening it at all, and I love the little lips, they look so cute in the sweet shop that I laugh when I seem them.

Thank you again, I really appreciate you making them for me and all the time & care you take to pack your house so carefully, it shows how much you care.
