Thank you note

Got a thank you note in the mail today.  It had dandelions on it.  I like dandelions.  So I painted some.
(Thank You Note, $100)

Dr. Seuss trees

 Here is Robyn's new necklace.....her and her sweetheart (DA) will be married soon!

Here is a commissioned piece I did for an awesome jewelry making lady (who coincidently will be hosting on of the open houses I'll be doing on December 4th) She saw it on a window and wanted it as a painting on a canvas.  We thought it looked a little like Dr.Seuss trees.......I dropped it off this afternoon and it looks sweet in her living room!

Up to my eyeballs in windows

Two new windows for sale! The big poppies is from a century old house (very cool) and is $100 and the, "midnight in the garden" is from the same batch of windows (see above) for $75.  I have about 10 of these big windows without panes just waiting for a special order!  Let me know!

Wreath project

 First, more little charms with hand painted and drawn artwork inside. They are awaiting chains, which are hopefully in the mail today!

 This one is waiting for two initials....wedding gift perhaps?

 I made this wreath out of recycled music for an auction that my band is participating in.

This wreath is made out of an old book and will go hand in our local library! They were so easy to make!

More, more, more!

I am loving working with tiny pens and watercolor.  Here are some more necklaces.....chains and bail are in the mail.....I hope!

A sampling....

Here are some sampling of the new necklaces! The long ones are $20 and the square ones are $15.  If you want to see more, go here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Creative-Genius-Art/121186378616
The chains will be coming soon, I need to buy a bunch more!
I can also make these with your favorite bible verse, photo or initials...you name it!  I'm thinking Christmas presents!!

Top of the morning

I'm not sure if the words House and Beautiful belong in the same sentence when choosing adjectives to describe our house.  Small but cozy and just perfect for us at the moment.  This is what I enjoyed yesterday morning for a very brief time before I was nudged....or shoved rather, into my motherly duties.  Coffee, a good magazine, my art supplies and a homemade blueberry scone.  The scones didn't go over too well with the boys, I even tried to convince them that they were, "cake"  It was a no go.  More for me I guess!  

I wanted to remind you to mark your calendars for December 4th for all of you semi-local people. Even if you are not local, it's totally worth the drive. I have the pleasure of joining the Things with Wings ladies, along with a few others at an open house in Iowa City.  More specifics and directions coming soon!
