A fun mini quilt for a recent doll quilt swap I participated in. It's a Confetti Quilt. The bits of color all have raw edges....

I'm working on a quilt for my etsy store. It's going to be about 10 or 11 inch square. I'm hand quilting this little quiltie. First time that I've ever tried it. It's taking longer than I thought it would; but it's fun and relaxing to do.

Sweet lavender pillow, little spelling oops!

I had this all ready to put in my Etsy shop when I noticed that I had made a little spelling mistake. And I was so darned proud of myself too. Oh well, I know what they say about pride and falling.

For my Etsy Shop...

I have finally opened a little Etsy shop. So far I've only listed three things, but that will change as time goes by. Since I've named my shop "iamanartist boutique", there will be a variety of different art and craft items listed, since that is how I define 'boutique.'
Take a look....This is one of the things I have listed for sale.

Quilting is next. Then the binding. And finally, the label. Should be (I plan on being) finished by Sunday and Monday off in the mail to someone for a swap. Hope she'll like it.

Finished...maybe some detail work. We'll see.

Further progress. I don't usually take a piece in steps like this. As a general rule, I draw, ink and then paint. But for some reason this picture wants me to take it slow. So... I am.

Just finished this today. I think I like it. It's watercolors, pen and ink with a little colored pencil on tea stained water color paper. I don't know why I draw and paint....I mean, it's not like anyone ever sees my art outside my home. I guess it's something that I need to do. Sometimes I think about submitting to a publisher...........

Here ya go little one....

A multi media piece on watercolor paper. What started out to be a simple pen and ink with a watercolor wash morphed into this; with the addition of inktense pencils and prisma colored pencils. I'm not sure if I am finished or if I need to tweak it some more. Maybe I'll just start over. Mmmmm......
