Working On Weisner

I am working on a new little character...

 

 

Hi name is 'Weisner" and I think he's going to be one cool little dude!

Goodwin

I want you to make the acquaintance of a very cool little dude...

 

his name you may ask?

why how polite of you to ask,

his name is

"Goodwin"

 

Read on to hear a tiny bit of his story...

 

 

You may perhaps mistake him for a squirrel or a guinea pig (the latter to which he is indeed related),

however our fair dapper Goodwin is actually neither of these...

he comes from Central America and is in fact an 'Agouti'.

 

Do you know what he does for a living?

 

Well our furry friend here owns a very popular button franchise.

(with a couple of stores just opening up now in South America...how exciting!)

He is proprietor, designer and maker of much sought after buttons made from Brazil nuts.

Ever single button in his shops are created by Goodwin himself with his very own nimble teeth.

You see, Agoutis have a special tooth enamel that is twisted in this super cool way

to make the teeth super extra tough and super strong. (oh that Mother Nature is a clever one she is).

Goodwin's parental background & special teeth really are the makings

for the perfect button nut nibbler/designer....no wonder his creations are so sought after.

They are really quite something to marvel at...and very expensive, naturally of course!

 

See the nifty blue denim jacket he's wearing?

 

Well that's his favorite thing in the world.  He's never without that coat of his. 

It was handed down to him by his father...a great old Brazil Nut farmer named Papa Rojas.

He was the one who taught Goodwin how to find the biggest & best nuts out there.

Goodwin still has a collection of very special nuts which he collected with his dad

when he was still but a wee tiny thing.

These nuts are saved only for the most important of clientele, like kings, queens and huge rock stars.

 

(Prints of Goodwin will be available soon)

McHale

Everyone I'd like you to meet my newest little character...

 

"McHale"

 

This little brown rabbit has a really interested career.

Can you guess what it may be???

 

 

He is a singing minstrel.

 

(and no they aren't a thing from the past, not where he hails from anyhow!)

But not just any singing minstrel...He is a singing minstrel to horses.

That's right...his job is to travel from farm to farm

(right now he's mostly working around the Edinburgh area in the UK)

and he sings tales & happy songs to the hard-working horses on these farms.

It's his job to bolster the creatures up & remind them why they work so hard for humankind.

His voice has a magical quality to it you see and just one or two tales/songs

and the aches and pains, muscle & joint stiffness all but melt away...

and this enchanted healing lasts for a good long whiles too because all the hoofed clients

have to do is hum the song or remember the tale &
bing bam boo their worn bodies all healed up and soothed over again.

Can you believe too that, each and every tale or song this little guy sings is one of a kind.

And guess what...he does so for free.

He asks for not a single dime, just a soft warm bed of hay

and a good tasty stew of beans & carrots

before he travels onto the next farm in need.

He is quite sought after by many farmers all over the world.

 

Isn't that just one of the coolest jobs a rabbit could ever have?!

 

He is a sweet little fella made with coloured pencil on paper on an acrylic painted wood canvas.

He measure a precious little 5" x 7".

The original is ready for a new home & is ready to be shipped & hung.

Interested?

Just email me at MandySaile@BijousWhimsy.com and we'll talk prices.

 

He's one of a kind so I think someone should snatch him up, Don't you?

 

 



Pillerun Pritt

Say Hello to my newest little creation,

A feathered top hatted sweetheart named 

Pillerun Pritt

If he looks just slightly anxious it's because he is on his way to a grand outdoor ball,

where the night will be scented with jasmine &

the stars will be winking down on him by the millions.
This ball is be thrown around the local and elegant bandstand in the center of town,

and it's where he is suppose to meet a pretty little robin for a blind date...

he can't decide between a bouquet of pink and yellow roses or red and purple pansies...

poor little guy is sooo nervous, but his stunning green top hat gives him much needed confidence...

The bird itself is done in coloured pencil and then that is mounted to a painted acrylic canvas

whiles he sits on top of strip of bright orange ribbon. 
It has been sealed several times & has a lovely gloss to it.
It is ready to be shipped & is ready to hang.  It measures 8 x 10"
 

Which do you think he should choose?  The roses or the pansies?

P.S. Prints will be available soon

Play Lightly

Wow, a brand new year of blogging ahead of me once again.  Exciting.

I think it's a good idea to start things off with a brand new illustration.

This one is called "Play Lightly" and is pretty much all Prismacolour on paper.

It's been a long & very cold winter so a dose of colour & summer-time dreaming is in order I think.

I have much to share with you.  I really hope you will join me often over this new year.

I promise, as always, to share the best & most positive of my unique self, here on my beloved blog.
