Garden Series Finished!!

I have finally finished my ACEO Garden Series!!  Here are the final 2 paintings:

 "Rose" and "Lotus"

These are available as both ACEO prints (limited editions) and 5 x 7" prints on my website!

I have an auction listed now for an ACEO print set of all 12 Garden Series painting! Click the picture below to visit the auction!

 

I also just finished a second all antique copper, Autumn-themed bracelet!  This is just like one that I made last year around this time.  That one sold, and it was always one of my favorites, so I made another and it is now for sale in my Etsy shop!!

A Few New Things...

I have some new updates to share...
First of all, a couple of new paintings!  These are the next two ACEOs in my Garden series.  #9 and #10 in the series.  There are going to be 12 of them, so I have 2 more to go.  I'm currently working on #11.

"Daffodil" and "Orchid"

Limited Edition Prints for these and the rest of The Garden Series are available on my website.

Also, some new cross stitch patterns of my art have been released with Heaven and Earth Designs!!  See all that are currently available HERE  I think there is at least one under the quick stitches category too.  :)

 I've been playing around with more chainmaille and made a couple more necklaces.  This stuff is pretty addicting!  ;)  These are both made in the Full Persian weave.

 This first one is made with Olivine Swarovski crystal beads and bright aluminum rings and wire.  It is really light weight!

This is for sale in my Etsy shop HERE

 This second necklace is pretty much the same as the one I posted a couple weeks ago, but this is made with black anodized aluminum rings and Aquamarine Swarovski crystal beads.  Again, being made with aluminum rings makes this necklace quite light weight.

This one is also for sale in my etsy shop, with more photos and description, HERE

New Painting and Jewelery

"Midnight Masquerade" -- This is my newest painting that I just finished Wednesday night!  She was done for the Enchanted Visions Project, and my first contribution to it!  :)  I'm really happy with how she turned out.  This is the first full-size painting I've done all Summer!

I still have 4 more of the Garden Series ACEOs left to do, but I needed a break to do something else.  I don't know if I'll do another bigger painting next or another ACEO.

Watercolor, white goauche and colored pencil.  8.5 x 11"  Check out the detail view!  Prints and the Original painting are available on my website!

New Dog Tag Necklaces!!
I made a new batch of dog tag necklaces recently!  These new ones feature the ladies of my Garden Series!  The dog tag necklaces are my favorites that I've made!  I think they showcase the artwork the best!  :)  These and more are available in my Etsy Shop for only  $12 each.  You can visit it by clicking the picture below!

Chainmaille!
I've recently tried out making chainmaille jewelry for the first time!  It's really addicting, so I can see making some more things in the future.  I already have a couple in mind!  :)

This was my first attempt... the Dragonscale weave.  It's kind of an ambitious weave for a first time, but I saw a bracelet like it, so I had my mind set on making one.  lol

My next creations were a matching necklace and bracelet!  I only intended on making the necklace, but had enough supplies for a bracelet too!  This was done in the Full Persian weave, with bright aluminum rings and large Jet Swarovski crystal beads!  I love them and was tempted to keep them for myself!  lol  But I put them up for sale on Etsy.  (might have to make a set for myself sometime ;) )  They are for sale separately in my shop.  Click the picture below to see them.

Limited Edition Prints are available on my website.
