'Twas Brillig

I mentioned in my last post that I'm moving 'Twas Brillig Online over to Etsy! The process has begun and, for awhile, my wares will appear in both places...although not duplicated on both.

The new shop on Etsy is called The Tulgey Wood. (The name 'Twas Brillig was already taken. Drat!) I hope you'll pop by and peruse the newest additions!

In other news, my painting of the three Hereford cows, titled "Bethesda Belles", is currently on display at Flynne's Coffee Bar and Downtown Gallery as part of the art show "Painting the Town." The art was created by local artists and each image depicts a scene from Southern Pines! Well worth stopping in to see if you're in area. Of course, all the works are available for purchase. Art makes a great Christmas gift!

Here's what happens when it is getting close to Valentine's Day and I feel the need to create outside my normal comfort zone! Presenting 3 collage hearts for your consideration.... please remember, I am not a collage or mixed media artist. I just like to play around with stuff to see what happens!

The 2 in the top row are complete; I'm just getting started on the bottom one. (Did I really just use a semi-colon? LOL Haven't had a use for one of those in years.) I used 4 inch tall heart cutouts and a variety of embellishments: acrylic paints, lace, seed beads, copper foil tape (which I actually soldered!), mulberry paper, rubber stamping, magazine clippings, drywall tape, hand-hammered copper wire and buttons.

So whaddya think? No matter what, I had fun making them and explored something different!
