She Marched To Her Own Beautiful Rhythm

So the sweet blue hummingbird and cutie pie snail ended up here...

on my latest mixed media lovely called

"She Marched To Her Own Beautiful Rhythm"

 Isn't she pretty?  I am so pleased with it.  I had fun with all the texture of the background
and of course with the snail and hummingbird.
 

 

It stems from my own personal experience of slowly learning to march to my own

imperfect rhythm because as a chronic & acute migraine/headache sufferer

I simple can't really keep up a 'normal' routine, never for very long that it!

but I've come to realize that it's just part of my life and whiles I feel like I am far behind

all of the time, that doesn't mean it's negative, not if I adopt a positive perspective atleast!

 

And yep you guessed it, prints are in my shop waiting for ya.  Enjoy!

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.

Glitter Bugs For Jaks

So a few weeks ago we found a large lump on Jaks's tummy.

 

I didn't mention it here on the blog yet because it's was just stressing me out too much

and usually when something is freaking me out,

I need to take my own time to quietly process it and deal with it all in my own way.

 

 

On our doctors opinion and after many sleepless nights,

we've decided to go ahead with the surgery to remove the large lump

and to have it biopsied so we know if we're dealing with cancer or not.

 

 

So I've been spending alot of time in the upstairs studio,

which as you know, I share with Jaks,

just to be near my sweet spotted prince.

 

 

It's my routine whenever something is up with one of the buns.

It's my way I guess to deal with the scare and stress of it all....

to constantly be around, more than normal, offering an increased love dosage!

 

So as my spotted prince naps away,

I've been working on these bugs to cheer myself up.

I am calling them "Glitter Bugs".

 

 

They are all miniature.  A teeny tiny 2 x 2" and smaller and will be little mixed media gems.

I am going to finish up these first few this weekend.

 

Jaks surgery is going to be $600

and I thought maybe...

just maybe these little bugs can help pay for the cost of the surgery?!?

 

So starting next week, I'll start listing the originals...

they'll go for a great price of $20-$30 only. 

Each one unique & original.

They'll be filled with bunny mojo, they will be full of glitter...I think they are going to be really fun.

 

So hop in next week to see the first few all finished up and snatch up any that you love.

 

See ya all next week XO.

 



Time For Mixed Media Play

It's feeling like a good week and time to break into some colour and mixed media.

So aside from some miniature bugs, I'll jump in with these cool c.pencil heads I did some time back.

 

 

I have no idea where they'll go, but I suppose that's the fun of playing with mixed media.

I don't plan them out as much as I would my usual illustrative work, soooo, we'll see!



Esme Reworked

I don't rework pictures very often but

"Esme & the Butterflies" called for me to do so, so I answered...

 

 

I added this pretty little brown, green & blue butterfly on the upper left hand...

 

 

I added this big green beauty perched on her head...

 

 

And I added the words "She Could Hear The Whispering Of Their Wings"

 

Now I feel like she's totally complete.... 



 

and the revised version is already in place in my shop.

Enjoy!

 



Cytherea

I have a brand new picture to show you.

She Was Nourished By Honeyed Green Tea
