Happy New Year One and All!

Handpainted Ornament Designs for 2009. Signature Rabbits in Jackets, Horses, Reindeer and Sheep. Sold very well.

Holiday travels took me away from my projects for a bit but now it's time to get back to work. Can't wait to see how each of these little creations evolves. Hopefully they will be finished and listed on Ebay by the weekend!

Finished with the shopping,

now time for the wrapping

This Holiday season I've noticed a lot of people sporting this face

If only they'd try a smile, they'd see what a difference it would make.

One of my favorite artists, Raphael Kirchner...love the lighting and colors in these images. They are so ethereal and dream like. My main “Midsummer Night’s Dreamer” image is also that of Mr. Kirshner.

Two more ornaments on ebay today

Rabbits in Jackets have been a signature design of mine for many years. Each one surprises me.

Finished another ornament today. It's already listed on ebay.

I listed a new Folk Ornament on ebay today. The Man in the Moon and a Pony.




Also listed 3 "sketch" ornaments. These don't have as much detail as my paper mache ornaments but are still very pretty. I've done the designs on both unbreakable bulbs and the Unicorn is on glass.

No worries dear turkey for I am vegetarian.

Welcome to my blog, my own little “clearing in the enchanted woods”; a place to wander down the path of imagination and creativity. A place to post my artwork, my inspiration, along with a bit of this and that. The stuff of Dreams really; Dreams by day and those by night.
