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.

American Nails

Happy Birthday America!

Yes, a little late, but celebrated with these funky fun July 4th fingernail paintings. I'm sharing them in honor of Independence Day. Done yesterday, they'll provide a good bit of fun for the rest of the week!

Five year old Katelynn, loved her nails. Red, white and blue stripes with tiny dots got her all excited. Then the glitter topcoat gave them a subtle sparkle so, she was more than ready for the evening fireworks.

Michelle enjoyed an intricately colorful "Stars and Stripes Forever" rendition of these celebration fingernails.

Half red, half blue with skinny white stripes, white flower stars and tiny white dots completed the look.




Thick clear gloss topcoat will protect them and keep them flying for quite a few more days. Pure fun for a Happy Birthday USA time.

Treasury Challenge

Posted one of my treasuries on Facebook and everyone thought it was a collection of my art! Not! So I wrote a long post with info about Treasuries so I could show them all in one place and send people here to check them out. When I linked this blog with that long post on top, to my Facebook AngeeArt page, !!!woah!!! it showed the whole entry. Way too long. I guess now I have to write an entry post before the long one! sheesh ... I am soooo tech challenged!
