Thank you "Shutterfly"!!









After finishing my series of 8 paintings (while photographing them all along the way), I decided to have a photo book made through "Shutterfly" so I could do it all over again. This time I will be embellishing these faces in a much smaller 8" X 8" version. I took each image and blew them up on the pages in two different stages. Now I can fill them with daily thoughts or fill them with patterns. This is going to be a fun traveling journal. My girls can swim and I can doodle. They can go to music lessons and I can doodle. I mean really you have to keep Mom happy ya know(O: The nice thing is I can also use these images to make things. I have one idea of something I want to make that I have never tried before. It may be a week or two but it will be posted soon. There will be all kinds of goodies in my Etsy shop once I iron out the kinks of my ideas. Stay tuned...

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!!

  1. What a stunning book, Rebecca!!! I would love to see the book, and/or soldered charms of your finished pieces, offered for sale, :)! Can't wait to see what you have in these Goddess' future! Whatever you do with them, they will be hot sellers. I would love to purchase one of them, but would have a terrible time choosing which one; I suppose that is why I love the book idea ~~ a great piece that I suppose combines all of them into one item! You've got awesome talent, sweetie! Wishing you a peaceful weekend full of total bliss.

  8. Can you hear me screeching? Because that's what I'm doing right now after seeing your gorgeous art in that book! Holy cow, it's beautiful!

    And a very good idea too to be able to re-doodle the images in the book while you wait for the kids.

    Of course when I first saw the book, I thought you were offering it for sale, and I was reaching for the credit card when I realized it was only for you. Rats! :)

These are little Valentines Mice made out of little white stones. I stuck felt hearts on them and then embelished them with bows and eyes. This is a fun Valentines Day craft for my daughter's second grade class!

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
