on my creative edge workshop, several commissions and more little babushka ladies & girls for my etsy shop. here's a few things I can share.
this little lady flew to the UK a couple of weeks back. the hairstyle was a special request and i love it. i have more dolls coming soon with little bob cuts. also some too with spanish style loopy pigtails. i think my fave so far. hope to show very soon.
here's a commission i painted:
i have several pieces i am working on that include babushka family portraits [dads & sons included!], also another canvas with a pregnant babushka! i want to do all sorts of family combinations and then make them available as prints. eventually! in the meantime, these little ladies were made for family gifts:
and here are some pendants i have had sitting around for a couple of months waiting to be finished.
i will eventually get them ready for my etsy store [with more recent dolls] but they are a bit on the back burner. i am enjoying my collage & painting so much. i have plans to make prints and postcards of my canvas work too but again, all in good time.
in other news, my dear ol' dad just returned from overseas with the most fantastic gift ever! i have been researching water soluble pastels for a long time and have been lusting after caran d'ache made in switzerland. i had priced them to be shipped from a few countries and was hoping to save up & have them shipped to me later in the year. wellllllllll, guess what i am the new proud owner of?
beautiful beautiful crayons indeed. i feel very lucky!!!!!!
what else....
well on the home front, i took this pic of my 3 'still @ home' kiddies a couple of weeks back. its now school holidays of course so georgia is home every day at the moment but when she isn't, its these 3 little musketeers that i hang with during pre-school hours. charlotte wanted to dress the twins up and all wear head bands. so that we did. do you think i could get a nice smiling shot from them all at the same though? no!
that's all for today.
oh, and like the rest of the world, i am now on twitter [see top right of my blog page under my photo]. i'll use it mainly to notify when i have stuff available in the etsy shop. a quick and easy solution i think. am i the last person on earth to join i wonder?
