object of affection in eggshell

New "Object of Affection" silhouette up in the shop.

spoke too soon

It doesn't seem like I'll be able to finish any more of the larger mistletoe pieces before the sun goes down. Oh well, I'll be up bright and early to take pictures tomorrow morning. For now here are three new miniatures to tide over til then.

holiday silhouettes: objects of affection

Four new silhouettes in the shop. With any luck I'll post four more by the end of the day, as well as more miniatures and such.

"The Pledge"

This is the second series of silhouette studies related to the same piece as the Finch miniature series.



This will be a very limited series, only three pieces, but I'm pricing them fairly low because they're fairly simple. I'm still torn on whether or not to offer the complete piece as an original or try to get prints made.

Here's the difficulty with prints: my camera sucks. It's hard to get a complete image of anything over 8" by 10" and most of my detail shots are a little blurry, even with the tripod. I'm doing some research into what would be a better camera for art shots, but I think I might just have to suck it up and buy a new scanner.

more miniatures

I was watching "The Prestige" and something about those piled-up Edwardian hairstyles and all the magician's finches fluttering anxiously in their cages clicked.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but all the miniature silhouettes I've been doing have been studies of a sort for what I'm hoping will be much larger, more elaborate pieces. I won't be offering all of those for sale, but I'll definitely be sharing them here.

new series of miniature silhouettes

There are actually six in the series so far, but the photos turned out so shoddy (it's raining today) I'm planning on re-shooting them on Friday. Still, I listed the girl with the mohawk and the girl with the bob, just for the sake of putting something new in the shop. I'm hoping to have a series of twenty.

adage felt cuffs

I made jewelry!




These are the first two in what I hope to be a series of at least ten wool felt cuffs, with partial adages cut out of the center and images from the saying cut out of the top edge. The wool is so soft and warm.
