The ornament is sculpted of cernit and is painted with mica powers and pearl acrylic. It measures 51/2" tall and is 3" wide.. I have strung about 4 inches of blue glass beads at the top for hanging. I hope you like the detailing.. The wee one is sculpted of prosculpt and details with fine acrylics.. I have crocheted her bunting and used cotton material for her cap.

Please meet ~ Joy ~ A wee winter fairy


Please meet Joy.. A wee winter fairy. Sculpted of Cernit, she sits 2 3/4" tall. She sat on my table for some time, waiting on me.. Looks as if she has fallen asleep sitting up.. (I've done that). I have dressed her in rose petals from my garden that have been sealed, and gave her a little sprinkle of fairy dust.. Her transparent wings are acrylic, they feel like glass. I hope you enjoyed meeting Joy.. She is available on Ebay if you would like to visit her auction..
Blessings,
Penny

Keepsake Rose Ornament


I wanted to attempt a vintage look to this ornament. I don't know if I have accomplished the look, but I enjoyed creating it. Sculpted of Cernit over a foil armature. Painted with metallic pearl powders. I remember my grandmas ornaments were metallic, most in deep colors.. But you know I always tend to use pastels, so this was the end result..I have added a few sequins at the top, dried flowers from my garden that have been sealed, wire, beads that hold the tiny glass wing at the bottom..
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend..
Now available on Ebay. Listed this morning.. (Saturday) for a 3 day auction.
With the holiday season upon us, I would like to send you to see Ann at St. Nicholas and Christmas. If you are interested in discovering the real St. Nicholas and the real reason he is associated with Christmas, please stop in and become a follower.. I simply love reading her stories and I always come away with a little more knowledge... Ann is such a sweet soul, please take time to pay her a visit.. You won't be dissapointed.
Blessings,
Penny

Britt.. A window into her world of Art


Another wonderful visit with my granddaughter Britt. We talked, enjoyed good food and sat with our sketch books.. I am always in awe of her masterful hands.. With pencil in hand, she draws with such ease, a joy to watch.
She is truly an inspiration to me. She works and attends college. Her major is Art History. We are all so very proud of her.
I hope you enjoy viewing.

~ Cherubs and Roses ~ Fantasy painting



I found this beautiful little painted frame with carved roses along the top at a charming little shop in town called Romantic Home Treasures, owned and operated by Alysha and her husband. She also has an oline store that you may want visit. My Shabby Chic Furniture Home . As soon as I saw this frame, I knew what I wanted to paint.. It had an insert that was painted the same color as the frame. It appeared to be wood.. Upon taking it out of the frame, I saw that is was a mirror that had been painted . It was very nice to paint on actually.. The painting is 9 1/2" x 13" . This particular painting will not be offered on ebay... I just wanted to share it with you. I hope you find it pleasing to the eye.. Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Penny
