My 2nd new Neice this year (One to go...)

Meet Sienna. She is my second new niece this year.
I have an older sister and twin brothers and they are all having (or have had) baby girls this year. Sienna was two weeks late and if it had been up to here she would have stayed in there.

Unfortunately I don't get to meet her until Christmas at which time I have going to have to work out how to hold a 6 month old, a two month old and a 3 week old at the same time. Plus occupy a 4 year old girl and two year old boy. I'm sure I can work something out. ;0)

My final Niece for the year will be born on 1st December. I can't wait to meet her either.

Who's to say what is and isn't Art...

I received an email today titled 'Dead Fly Art' and my initial though was "this is going to be disgusting". I was actually quite fascinated and amused when I began looking at the pictures and I started to think about the things that we call Art.

New Ideas - Serial Killer Inspired Art

It sounds a little sadistic I know but believe it or not this was the theme of my year 12 major work. I called it "Dahmers Innocent Objects". There were two oil paintings and some etchings of Fridges and chairs with funnels and test tubes in the background. The idea was that a simple object such as a chair could be used for such a horrific crime and you would never know just by looking at it.

I have always been fascinated with serial killers.

• What motivates them to murder other people?
  
• Are they born like that or was it that a significant event that caused them to change?

Can you tell that I studied Psychology? LOL.

So I decided that I would like to re-create my series in miniature form and sell it on Etsy. I have been thinking about it for a while and now I think that it would be a good idea to have some different options in my Store.

Wednesday Wishllist!

Anyone who has visited my Store would have noticed that I love paintings and drawings of African People. I can't explain the fascination, I just know that there is nothing more beautiful as far as I am concerned. So here is my wish list based on this;

Pink Turban

Nina Simone

Midnight

Black is beautiful

Thank You FaerieMajikk!

I just wanted to thank Linz for her advice regarding my "Captured Creatures". I was not going to sell them due to the fact that I had discovered another seller selling similar items however Linz reminded me most of what we sell on Etsy is also being sold by other sellers.

I will be listing them tonight and will also have a Competition to give away one of my "Captured Creatures" as an introduction to these items. Stay tuned and thanks again Linz!
