Christmas Cards '09

Wish me luck in selling this collection of '09 Xmas cards! Gallery 41 will be featuring these one of a kind creations!

Art Mix Playing Cards

Art Chix Studio has put together this very clever deck of cards, using a selection of their favorite ATCs that have been used in past swaps and contests! I was so flattered to see they used 3 of my ATCs for this amazing deck!!!! I got a complimentary deck in the mail today - HOW COOL!!!!!!

an old ATC - one of my faves

100 wedding invitations!!

I made 100 of these cards for my cousin, Cally - for her wedding invitations. I made them as my wedding gift to her. What a big project! On Sunday, I got together with my mother, 3 of my aunts, my daughter, and my cousin - we drank wine and set up an assembly line for the card production. It was an awesome family day!!

I used antique vintage music paper, and all handmade embellishments. I corrugated the hearts myself.

Tattooed Ladies

These are some ATCs I put together a while back. I'm posting them in tribute to my tattoo shop, which is about to open. i used Marah Johnson papers and Art Chix images.

The Tattoo Queen by Gill Del-Mace

Isn't she wicked cool?!!! I had a poster of this painting in my first tattoo shop...it's long since gone. I'd love to find another $20 copy of it, but I've looked everywhere, and to no avail. The art prints of this piece start at about $350, and that's for a little one. To have one that does it justice is unthinkably priced at around $800. I want it for my tattoo shop so bad. Maybe Santa claus will bring it to me... if I'm a good girl...

Paper Whimsy collage canvases

I just finished these two for Gallery 41. Both are using Paper Whimsy collage images. and take alook at the rusty ribbon, also from PW - it's sooo cool!!! The button frame uses mostly buttons from my grandmother's extensive button collection - now mine, and a great source of materials! Thanks Oma.

True Heart

Another new one for Gallery 41. The substrate is plain old cardboard with crackle medium to reinforce. Thank you again Art chix Studio for yet another great image to build upon!

My Girls

I got my new neon sign for the tattoo shop. It won't be long now till we're open for business.

Look at my beautiful daughters!

Anabel

Here are a couple of scrapped and Photoshopped pics of Anabel. I'm loving this Photoshop now that I'm finally getting to know it.

Anew piece. It's to hang from the rear view window. I made it for my sister, using s keychain that was our grandparent's - it has my grandfather's name on it - so cool!

Valentine Banners

I made these for a swap with the Yahoo In This House group - Mini Valentine Banners. Looking forward to it - the last swap I did with this group was the best swap I've ever been involved with - it really brought out the best work from me. "In This House" is such a wonderful book, so full of inspiration and beautiful art - I look to it often...
