What in the world is the meaning of such a title? Well, I'll tell ya. It means, "The Curious little girl, sells her curious little things." That would be me. Creating and selling curiosities, straight from my imagination onto paper, or into clay, or onto canvas...Anything I can get my little hands on that is...
What is the meaning of all of this you ask? I am trying to simply explain that I have had a huge shop update at A Fanciful Twist - the Etsy shop, & I am working on little tid-bits which will trickle in much this week.
The whole purpose of my blog was to share the love of art. Somewhere along the way, I forgot to share some of my creatures. The first 10 years of my life in the arts, I was creating large scale paintings and art installations for people (much more serious). As well a peddling my jewelry creations (still doing that). However, in the past 4 years, I have allowed myself to tap into the illustrations, drawing the images that have roamed around in my head for ever so long.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them. They are a bit strange, but really, aren't we all??
I am having so much fun with it. It makes me feel alive and free, to draw whatever I want, with no rhyme or reason. And these little drawings, when I look into their eyes, seem all to familiar. Like pointing at eachother, exclaiming, "I know you!" Anyhow, come over to the shop if you'd like to take a peek at them all. I am having such a hard time conveying how incredible the prints look. My goodness, I exclaimed when I saw one printed! It took 3 printers, hundreds in different papers, and so much time and aggravation to find a machine that would create such a lovely print. I am smitten.
I am also still painting. The serious stuff is lurking right now. Giving me a little break. I included some paintings and plates in the shop update too. Some of you delightful girls, found your little steals before my update announcement! Thank you, that was fun and inspiring, to say the least!!
Bowls and plates, and all sorts of little treasures...You'll find...
Miss Blue heart, Red-head (below), found a home already. She will be missed, but will be ever so happy in her new home, I can more than assure you of that! There are other little plates in the shop and more to be added as they come out of the kiln.
Miss Cirque du Cupcake, is in the shop...
And, so is "Super Bake Girl." Now remember, I invented her, so if you see her mass produced somewhere, well, actually, is there anything we can do really??? Probably not...
Those are just some bits and pieces of what went in the shop over the weekend. I will be adding regularly, and I will let you know when I make large updates.
Two more little characters which will be added tomorrow are...
Caracol con Flores (snail with flowers) &
Peacock Girl...
Most of my images will be going into greeting card packages as well. All to come. I would love to hear your ideas? Thoughts? On all this madness???
How was your weekend? What did you do???
I was trying to catch the Fairies, through the old window in the backyard.
Instead, I found a half massacred body of a lizard. I walked passed my chair, the one I swore to do something with 7 years ago, when I found it on the property, hidden. I just love the color...Can it be anything?
I also, did a lot of wondering...Specifically about how I became a country girl. I shocked the heck outta myself with that....But then I remembered... The tales live in quiet unusual places...And sometimes, I can hear them in the wind...Now, how ever would I hear them amongst the noise in a big city? Although, I think in the city, the tales seep out of dark warehouses, big abandoned buildings and underground....What do you think?
I was at a funeral this weekend. Funny, how everything feels surreal in life for a few days after a funeral...
I am off to work a bit, and maybe even wander....
(Next time, more lovely swap parcels that have trickled in. They are just wonderful!!)
