Fairy Queene of Hearts

Hey guys!
Happy 2015!!

Just wanted to pop in and let you know I've got a new doll for sale coming up on the 
Yay!!

This is my Fairy Queene of Hearts!
She is a perfect mash up of my two current obsessions-mixed media paintings and cloth dolls!

I have been painting and art journaling a lot lately. But I still really enjoy working on dolls. 
I just love doing faces, either on dolls or in a journal. 
Here are some of my painted faces:


They are so much fun to do!
                    These are from my art journal, but I hope to do some as paintings for sale soon.
Here's another one:
This is a painting I made for one of my kids for Christmas. 
It is layers of collage and paint on watercolor paper. 
See the circuit board in the background?
 When I found that I knew it was perfect because my son (who I painted this for) 
is a computer engineer. 
This painting is about creatures and their longing for their maker. 
My son loved it!
Hope to see you on PFATT On the 10th!

Blessings,
Annie

A Funny Thing Happened...

on the way through this artful journey.
 I had pretty much set aside painting, since spending all of my time doing so was NOT paying off.
 I have not been able to market my paintings much at all,
 and after all, I have bills to pay.
 So I went back to publishing craft patterns, mostly sewing, and making primitive dolls.
Then out of the blue came a quiet little convo on my Etsy shop. A local shop owner had seen my work on there and loved it! She wanted to carry my paintings on consignment in her shop. And she pays well!! 
I eagerly took all of my work in to her shop, and there they all are.
 All of my paintings, cards and even a pumpkin head (which I threw in for good measure! LOL!)
So this has given me the excuse to pull out all of my art journal supplies and splash around! The water seems a little warmer and there is a faint little stripe of "hope" on the horizon!
Maybe something will sell.
Ha! 
We'll see.

This is called White Winter

And my beloved whimsy characters!
