It's beginning to look a lot like...

Yes that's right, Christmas!  Although, we can not forget the lovely turkeys and cornucopias and pumpkin pies that come with Thanksgiving.  However, Christmas will come flying at us so fast that we must be prepared...

Which is why I have decided to share this little girl with you today, she can be found in postcard form and canvas print.  She has coaxed her pet into antlers, and begun the holiday baking. Really, I can not blame her...  It is just such a Jolly Good time of the year!

I have also decided to update my Etsy Shop this evening.  I would have done it much earlier today, but Internet Explorer shut down on me and I lost this entire blog post today.  I am having to rewrite it all...

I have scheduled some people to come by the gallery Saturday and Sunday, so I really debated about updating the online shop tonight.  However, it really is begging for an update, so I thought, let's go for it.  Sooo, as soon as this blog post is over, I will be in Etsy adding some originals and some treasures, such as...

A Memory of the Dance in the Forest...

      

      

Postcards of the Enchanted Hiding Tree! So fun!! ( A Fanciful Twist does not appear on the front of the actual cards)

      

Backside of Postcard...(The type is actually lower placed on the bottom of the cards, it is just set high for printing & trimming purposes)

      

The Bird Girl...

      

      

Super Bake Girl, Emilia... She is on the most amazing canvas. I love the extra deep set canvas.

      

      

      

              

There are also Strange Beautiful Lady Postcards and More Christmas Cards...(A Fanciful Twist will not appear on the front of these two postcards either)

Holiday Treats Postcard...

This little lady below, just found a lovely home, so she will be making her way across the country tomorrow...

Juliette, A Perfectly Sweet Day. 

      

We will also have multi-pack cards...

      

Annnnd, some oil painted cakes, for good behaviour of course, Bwwwahahahaaaaa... (Painted on canvas decoupaged with vintage dictionary pages)

      

      

Oh, and I almost forgot...  These little lantern girls will be in the shop also.  If you snatch them up before this weekend's gallery visitors, I will ship them off to you... Otherwise, I will have to remove them from my Etsy shop for the weekend...

      

I loved working with the dark colors... 

        

      

Off I scaddaddle to the, A Fanciful Twist, Etsy Shop... E-mail me if you have any questions... VanessaValencia@aol.com.  See you Soon!!!

Here I was hoping you hadn't lapsed into a coma from all your show activities and you are still at it! Such gorgeous things. I love the cakes, they must take years to dry but the great thick paint is just so terrific. And that bird girl just makes me want to weep she is so lovely! I am still visiting my lovley girls with oooos and aaahs all day long, thanks again!

Oh how I wish I could order one of everything and 'biggie size' it!
Bird girl is yanking at my heartstrings and Emilia is precious...I love the torn paper, the dark colors, the light colors y tu!

[marjorie]

Ooooohhhh, pretties here, lovelies there.....and all glittery and fluttery and magical!! Your work is a old world pastry shop window on a cold, cobblestone street.....so many delicacies waiting within...I can smell the cinnamon!!!! Hoooray! :)

[cruststation]

Fantabulous! Love the adorable Christmas postcards, the backs are equally gorgeous. Oh...the lanterns girls are wonderful, I can see why they have already been snapped up! Love memory of dance too, reminds me of the work of Pixiefangs I featured sometime ago...

[Joy]

The Lantern Girl is beautiful - and I see she has already been sold. :)

Your work is mesmerizing...

[rochambeau]

Good Morning VV,
All is so festively fixed up all ready to celebrate the holidays in Fanciville! Kinda makes me want to buy a pet and secure a pair of antlers! All silliness aside, your work touches and delights me 100%.
It is always a joy to come for a visit into your world! Hi to Lovee. Has he put your door back on?

[Sandra Evertson]

One is more Fantastic than the next! My Fave is the little guy in antlers!

[Du Buh Du Designs]

Stop! Stop! Stop! You're making the rest of us look like slackers!! Hehe.. all kidding aside your work is so much fun..a combination of whimsy, sass and ethereal elegance. I love the lantern girls and super bake girl Emelia.
Enjoy your three day weekend:)

[Paris Parfait]

Darling Vanessa, I stopped by earlier, but had to dash before I could finish reading your post, much less comment. All these pieces are very, very special! Lucky owners of your latest creations. Great idea to produce the postcards. Will email you. xoxox

[Casey]

Oh my goodness! Your posts are always so delightful to find on my blog feed... such a visual treat (I know I mentioned an art candy store the other day... but this is like an art dessert! hehe!)! The collaged paintings are just so gorgeous... beautiful! :)

Thank you for brightening my day with this artful sunshine... :)

[Cherie]

You have one of the most exquisite eyes for colour and blending...very graceful my dear.

[Rebekka]

Your work is so great, I adore it! Especially the Strange Beautiful Lady...

[Karen Beth]

Love Super Bake Girl, Emilia. So pretty! Since I never did get a Strange Beautiful Lady print, I might have to go for a postcard. How much would just ONE cost? Yes, I'm super-cheap. :)

[sarah]

Vanessa your work is looking so beautiful.
Do you think I can 'coax' one of my cats into wearing antlers- Eliza would love it- she's already tried sunglasses and a cardigan!

[Lisa S. Oceandreamer]

Darling girl....unbelievable beauty abounds. Every single time I see your lush imagination at work I want to dance like the lantern girls. Me in my striped tights and red toe shoes leap internally with the sounds of glee!
Here's hoping for lots more sales. *tink*
