Dream Whales

A couple of weeks ago I bought this interesting vintage wood animal puzzle from another Etsian. When I saw it, I didn't just see wood animals that may or may not fit together in unusual ways, I saw beautiful and richly painted animals. Dream animals. Whales!

And so as the weather outside was frightful, I spent last night in my art studio with my imagination, some acrylic paint, and this puzzle. Whales were abundant:

Beautiful, dreaming whales with spots and dots and swirls...

Sad looking whales...

I love them all...

They are now available for purchase in my shop!

And of course, you see all of those other puzzle pieces. More animals to come! I miss painting!

100 Sales & Giveaway

I am so grateful to announce that my little Etsy shop has reached 100 sales!!! I originally opened my shop in 2006 to sell paintings of birds on wires, but reinvented myself this past year. I listed the first 20 needle felted items on March 2nd. Since then, I've received so much positive feedback, made so many friends, and have grown my art immensely (go take a look at the first few listings!) In celebration of the first 100 sales, I'm offering a giveaway! The giveaway prize is the Plumpie that started it all - featured on the Etsy Finds blog and the item that generated the first wave of real interest in my shop - the sitting fox . I will make you one of your own, but you can see an example below: To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment with your contact information. One entry per person. The giveaway ends November 26th at 8:00 pm EST , with the drawing on November 27th. I'll announce the winner on Saturday, November 27th.
