What I'm working on at the moment. Happy New Year everyone! xo Michele

New Cameo On Etsy!

Another original cameo painting :o) I painted Cara on a tiny canvas ( 1 1/4" or 32mm) and then inserted her into the pocket watch pendant (the pendant is 1 3/4" or 44 mm). The last photo shows the back of the pocket watch pendant. The painting is one of a kind and signed and sealed. The antiqued brass chain is 20" long with a lobster clasp. The necklace is a one of a kind and there won't be another one like it! Perfect way to show off your art!

Gail New Work

Meet Gail. She is really sick of her sister always snickering and poking fun at her, so today while they were making paper dolls, when her sister laughed at her dolls, the monster within took over. Next thing Gail knew the scissors in her hand where in her sisters back. That made her stop laughing.

Gail is 7 1/2" long x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". She can sit on her own or you can hang her, either from a tree or just some place special. She is hand sculpted from polymer clay. Her legs and arms are movable. She has vintage watch parts on her face. Her left eye is a piece of glass I hand painted. In her left hand is a pair of silver scissors. I painted her in layers with acrylic paints, she is sealed with a matte finish. Her dress is black velvet with vintage lace trim, hand sewn (not removable).

Hope everyone is having a great week! It got really cold here and there were snow flurries--I'm not ready for winter! I did manage to get our little Christmas tree decorated this week too and I only have one more thing to buy! Yippee! For once I feel like I'm ahead of the game! xo Michele
