Latest Offering...complete at last :)







This is 'A Mermaid's Tale' , a mixed media/textile art Doll/Book inspired by my previous Mermaid Art Doll.( see previous posts). The book is made from painted and embellished fabrics, with the Mermaid Art Doll on the front.
Her tail is stiffened and wired,and folds up to protect all her jewels and embellishments (which include beads,fibers and a hand made silk flower in her hair),so the book can be stored in a standard bookcase.
Inside is a sprinkling of sketches and quotes/phases along with handmade tags and pages of printed designs from my own hand cut stamps all with an oceanic/shell theme.
When closed the book measures approximately 7" x 12" and it is signed on the back cover . All the inks and paints used in this piece are fixed or permanent.
Truly a very special piece of work and an absolute pleasure to create!

New Artist Trading Cards for the collector in you... ;)

New ACEO designs just added to my ebay store. What are ACEOs???? ACEO is the acronym for "Art Cards Editions and Originals". An ACEO is a small piece of art that can be defined by it's convenient 2.5 x 3.5 inch size. (Standard trading card size) ACEOs are VERY different from trading cards however, because they are CREATED and traded or sold by artists. All my ACEOs are absolute ORIGINAL pieces of art! (Some artists choose to sell prints of their work -'editions' ) ACEOs are created in any medium available in the art world. Artists are creating them in ALL kinds of styles and varieties. There are no rules limiting the artist, outside of the size dimensions. ACEOs can be framed, propped, used as bookmarks,grouped together in larger frames......use YOUR imagination! Trading Card notebooks, sleeves and holders can all be used to display them. BECOME A COLLECTOR YOUR SELF OR BEGIN A COLLECTION AS A SPECIAL GIFT FOR A FRIEND TODAY-THE VARIETIES ARE ENDLESS!
