these 4 are miniature canvases, ranging in size from 10x10cm up to 12.5x18cm. these were some of the first ones i created and i now have over 30 so i am looking for new good homes for these ;o] the 2 smaller ones [L] are $20 and the larger ones [R] are $30 [+ postage]. i'll start listing on my etsy [for the first time!] in a few days, unless sold before hand. email me here if interested.
i will have more in the future, i can't stop painting them! well really they are collaged. i use all my fave techniques including napkin layers, pp scraps, some have fabric, lace, chipboard. they are all on thick edged canvases and have black edges.
edited to add: i should have written the words as these pics are so tiny. here they are...
top L - on the little girls dress are the words, 'keep holding on' and left of the big girls dress, 'I'll be by your side'. borrowed words from Avril Lavignes 'Keep Holding On' song. very personal to me as these were the words in my mind and heart when our little Chelsea was going through her heart surgeries last year. i figure they will have beautiful meaning for others too, maternal or friendship. its always nice to have a little reminder that we have someone there for us right? SOLD!
bottom L - borrowed words 'you've got a friend' from the classic james taylor song. well everytime i look at this one, i just start singing along. as I write this, i notice it has already been SOLD. i hope your daughters love it dear C. xo
top R - 'Teach us Delight in Simple Things,' Rudyard Kipling. well i try to remind myself this every day. there's so much around us to appreciate and have gratitude for. SOLD!
bottom R - 'live with passion', my words and mantra for fulfilled living. SOLD!
here's many others in progress. and its s-l-o-w progress, let me tell you! i only get a couple of hours per night, when i am not working my day/night job, to work creatively. and each one takes ages. lots of layers, lots of drying time. each finished one, a little doll with her own personality and i am having some trouble parting with them. and maybe a little scared too, that no one will love them like i do.
i'm working on my very first commission too at the moment which is coming along. hope to share sometime soonish.
also recently, i made these long overdue tiny pressies [patchworked bookmarks] for a couple of ladies in tasmania who bought my book. [hi ladies!] and i have some more similar things in the pipeline for some other wonderful women i know too.
thanks for looking!
