Some Kind Of Wonderful

We've done something wonderful and beautiful

(well Misa isn't thinking that it's wonderful whatsoever!)...

I hate my superstitious side but it's strong & present

so I'll just say for now that I hope I can tell you soon!!!!

Pretty In Pink

I walk into my downstairs studio & this cuteness emerges from my fuzzy pink pillows...

OH MY GOODNESS....she makes my heart sing....I can't even...she is everything...everything!

Miss Misa

Misa wanted me to hop in and say 'Hi' for her...and that she hopes your all kicking back...

and stretching your legs out lots and relaxing...cause kindness starts with your own self XO.

Miss Misa's Vantage Point

I like to make things as visually pleasing for us AND for the bunnies we make our family with.

I tend to put artwork where they can enjoy it as much as we do, I hang as low as possible usually.

and I find that I am especially extra keen on making Miss Misa's space visually pleasing.

She loves mirrors (if I were half as cute as she was I would too, ha ha!)

She loves to flip on her back, so I am glad her ceiling is painted with clouds & ladybugs

and she's always going up on her hind-legs to look around so I am pretty sure she sees all the pictures.

Happy Family Day

Hi There, we are hoping that your having a wonderfully warm and fun family day today...

 

 

whether you make your family with human children or the furry variety...have a great one XO

Zoey

My parents got a new little puppy, she's already healing their sore hearts & I am obsessed with her!

 

They've named her Zoey & she's the sweetest little bundle of furry sunshine, oh my gawd LOVE her!



Cute Girl & Sneak Peeks

How can I not draw rabbits all the time

when I am surrounded by such cuties like my girlie here!

 

 

I really do wonder if I'll ever get tired of drawing rabbits?

I just don't see it ever happening!

 

Anyways, as you can see I decided on another rabbit theme for this months coloring page

(Want it?  Sign Up to get it and future pages right here).



Chantilly Swish In Progress

I haven't done one of my old 'Nubbin' doll characters in awhile

and even though I won't be able to actually make her into one of my decorative figures till summer

I am enjoying her (and the snowy landscape from my upper studio window)...

 

 

Want to be one of the first to see her when she's completed?

Those who subscribe to 'Keep In Touch' with my studio news get first look-sees...

Wiesner

Everyone meet my newest little character

Weisner

He's a Black Chinned Yuhina and has quite the interesting story...

but guess what? There are only 3 ways you can hear about his intriguing tale

1) buy a print of him in my shop

2) be a recipient of my newsletters or sign up if your not already on my list

 or 3) buy my very first book of quirky characters when it comes out.

 

 

And my lovely friends, this is where I leave you for a very short spell.

I am going to take a short blog break to enjoy these last days of August with my hon and buns.

When we come back in September we'll be moving over to my brand new website...

I will indeed let you know all the details when we come back.

See you again soon...Happy End of Summer and be super duper well.

XO



She's Ready For Her Background

Well I think she's going to be named 'Veda'...

 

 

and it's looking like she's all ready for the next step, her painted background.

Raining & Pouring

It's raining...it's pouring...

 

 

This sleepy little artist is working...

Happy Weekend

Had to hop in with a dose of cute...

 

 

 ...and cause our little street thug really just wants to make everyone laugh...

 

 

Hope your having a greet weekend.  XO.



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

Petaled Topped Cutie

It's been snowing alot this week...

whiles snowflakes dance about outside...
I've been inside, warm & snug, surrounded by and basking in goodness

such as happy bunnies in every room, tinkling jazz,

hot cinnamon lattes, chocolate chip cookies from my mom,

naps to catch up on sleep because Flynn's ISC flared up & we've had a sick little bunny on our hands,

more naps with hot water bottles for my forever achy head!

a mid-week road trip with a dear dear friend & time at my desks with ink & watercolours...

I finished up this little watercolour today in fact...

I haven't named her yet....any ideas?

I think I'll be doing a shop update soon with abunch of original work and she'll be included in the lot.

Prints of her will not be listed in my Etsy shop,

But if your interested, just email me (MandySaile@BijousWhimsy.com) &

I can make a special listing just for you.

Happy Weekend

New Painting "Rainbow Swish"

"Rainbow Swish", acyclic on wood, 11.5" x 9" x 1.5"
The original will be available for purchase soon through my new website.
A print of this painting will available shortly on Etsy.

My post is abit late today, but better late than never is my positive attitude for today. On this extremely gloomy and humid day, distant thunder can be heard slowly approaching, the clouds seem bloated with rain and even the mosquitoes and bees seem heavy in flight with less hum, I wanted to do something extra bright and fun...so I give you my painting for today "Rainbow Swish".

I adore painting on wood, I have for as long as I can remember. I like to cut all of the wood about a year in advance and give it a good chance to dry up properly inside the house but today I fear that my wood supply is getting low and I am anxious to get into the garage and cut more to stock up again.

I am off to watch some "Lost' episodes with my sweetheart and with some cups of hot cocoa, as the rabbits snooze peacefully, I bid you a good evening, take care and happy creating.

New Painting

"Leaping Spotted Rabbit", acrylic and coloured pencil on wood, measures 8" x 5" x 1.5"

Original will be available for purchase shortly. A print will also be available shortly.

Good Afternoon Everyone, well it's Friday and I am really looking forward to it. It's suppose to rain all weekend but I really hope it clears up for Saturday because I've arranged a small biking party to a nearby town to take in my dear friend and adopted grandpa's exhibition, we'll see I guess. I am not one of those people who watches the weather channel etc, I prefer to just get up, look out the window and see what the day looks like.

I look forward to my day. I have a few hours in my studio this afternoon, then I head out for an Italian lunch with my wonderful friend Maria. I usually take off early from the studio on Friday afternoons. Tonight will involve some yummy food as we conjure up something extra special and tasty every Friday night, and some movies are lined up, so I am really looking forward to just taking it easy tonight as I've suffered abit this week with lots of headaches, some arthritis and bad allergies.

Well here is a new little painting I painted yesterday. I am on a pink bunny kick every since Maria suggested it, ha ha but this time it was fun to add some spots. Hope you like him and have a great weekend everyone, till Monday stay safe and be happy.
