Guess what I just got in the mail this rainy afternoon and won’t be taking off anytime soon ???
I will give you a clue…it is from one of my most favorite Etsy Shops…Rayvenwood Manor 
The owner of the shop and I have become fast friends as creative minds think alike. “Wink” Wink”…Now we have done trades in the past but this time around it was a very special trade indeed. I am creating a special painting to put in her little sons room which I will post pictures of at a later date.
She in turn has created this beautiful “Memory Bracelet” and necklace in honor of Mazzy!!!
Anastacia has many years experience working with jewelry and so she connected with exactly what I wanted. She listed to my thought’s and memories…took time to really pick out some special charms that would connect with my daughter and symbolize her time here on this earth and special moments that we shared. I mean this charm bracelet is totally loaded!!! Here is a list a list of everything she put into it…
*Sterling silver double strand charm bracelet with large crab claw closure…all “o” ring connecters are sterling silver

Take a moment and please look through her Etsy Shop. And if you have someone in your life that was lost too soon and you want something beautiful to wear in their remembrance day in and day out… then you need to get in touch with Anastacia
Because she can make you a special custom piece tailored to your special loved one…

Thank You Anastacia XOXO

May…
Wow…it is already May!!! Time has just flown by like crazy and here I find my myself in the midst of many projects. I find myself wishing for more hours in the day:)
A lot going on this week here in the Studio. I have a commissioned piece that is in it’s final stages. Also a book that is almost finished, just a few more illustrations that I wanted to tweak and it will be done….I also have the Gallery Walk that my art will be in this Friday. I think I can….. I think I can….I think I can….Choo Choo!!! LOL:)
Also working to get our local art guild hopefully up and running with an actual gallery space so that they can have a permanent interface with the public. I will be working on a proposal for our membership to look over in this month meeting. It’s going to be great when we get it up and running…not only for our artists but also for the community!!!
Ok well I have to get back into the studio but I wanted to share with you one of my latest little paintings:) She is called “Little Omie with Butterfly”
I was listening in the studio to some old music that I grew up with hearing my family play, old folk songs and such. There is an old Doc Watson song called “Little Omie Wise” and it’s a tragically sad song but I thought of this Omie and what a beautiful girl she must have been. So i painted and I painted…and when I was done I had this painting. Now I knew the painting was inspired by the music and that it was Omie but decided to ask a few friends what name called to them….and Francesca was one and I thought ok…maybe…but then late last night as I was going over the a re-shoot photos for this piece I decided that it must be named “Little Omie with Butterfly”:)
If you happen to be in the area on Friday and would like to see her up close then come on down to the Spring Gallery Walk in old town Manassas bc she is scheduled to be there for her debut. If not then no worries you can take a look at her online in my Etsy shop and claim her as your very own!!!
~Cheers~

Early November….
This is one of the busiest times here in the studio. I will be working hard pretty much every day as much as I can:) To keep me motivated and going I will be trying to make a post every day to share what I have done with my current projects…
To start off here are a few of the things I just added to my Etsy Shop:)
These fabulous Reindeer are in need of adoption!!! Please say that you can give them a good home and a happy place to be for Christmas this year:) They can be Adopted here through my Etsy Shop
Now I have also been working on a few paintings and illustrations aside from the current book I’m working on:) So I wanted to share them with you as well. I will be posting these in my Etsy Shop.
All of my prints are for sale HERE.
This is the first one I did that I have since named Tori:)
She is so sweet and is availble as an original ACEO CARD!!! Only $10 and you can own an original:) She is also available in print form.
I then painted “Thoughts On Fire”
This one was so much fun to do bc I had a brand new toy:) It’s called the “Spritzer” and available HERE. I have a few pictures of it in use with my latest painting that I finished today called “Bunnies and the North Star”.
So it has been a fun toy to play with bc it works with just about any of my markers!!! So I can make all sorts of shading and speckled effect with it. So cool and so worth having on hand to play around with!!!
~Cheers~
