You thought I had disappeared right?

Ok so I am a little embarrassed at how long it has been since my last post, but I want to assure you that I am still around and have been working. 

For over a month now I have been slowly working on a drawing for my Worlds Collide Series.  I have never taken this long on a single drawing and I have to admit that it is driving me crazy however I think my patience is paying off. I will post some pics of it soon.

I have also been playing around with some ideas and techniques and I now realise that I should probably be posting about them also. I will add some WIP's over the weekend so you can see what I am working on.

I won some Art Prints from one of the most amazing Artists...Deann Acton!

I came across Caya Papaya's store one morning by chance and I loved her work so much that I decided to take a look at her blog. I was very excited when I discovered that she was holding a giveaway so I decided to enter. I didn't think I was going to win and had already decided that I would be purchasing the prints if I didn't but to my surprise I won! I was so excited on Thursday when I received the most amazing package - it was an Artwork in itself. I have to share the pics with you...

Check out the envelope! Stunning isn't it?! And each print came in it's own transparent envelope!

That card was stunning. It is the small details that made this package spectacular!

I loved Deann's note so much that I had to share it. I hope she doesn't mind...

And here are the prints I received. She is VERY talented. Please visit her shop and her blog.

Just for fun....some of my Art from my Teens...

I found some of my old Artwork from my teens when I went home for Christmas and I thought it would be fun to post some. These are from when I was 14 to 17 years old.

Late last year I was very lucky winner of some prints from the very talented
Mademoiselle G


I also received some Christmas tags which were so beautiful that I couldn't bare to part with them so I selfishly kept them so that I can scrapbook with them =0)

Thank you so much Genevieve! They are more stunning in reality!

I'm back!

Ok so technically I have been back for over a week but I only re-opened my Etsy Store on Saturday. Things have been crazy since I got back and despite the fact that it has taken me a week to open my Store and over a week to write my first post for the year I have been working!

2010 is going to be huge for me I have decided. I am writing myself a strict schedule which I am determined to stick to which will include regular blog posts! I am also aiming to complete at least three drawings or paintings a week (starting next week - he he) which may only be ACEO's but that it a start. I desperately need to add to my Store.

While I was away I thought a lot about what I was going to do with my Art and spoke to another Duster about opening a second Store for Polymer clay items only. She suggested that I just keep the one Store which I am very grateful for as I have decided that I will no longer be selling Polymer items in my Store. I will be removing the items that I have for sale sometime this week as I want to focus on my paintings and drawings. I feel really good about that decision.

I will be uploading some new Artworks this week also.
