NEW MPS RUBBER STAMP SETS/EASTER BUNNY SET

Hi everyone!

Cant believe I havent posted in so long, ouch! I hope you all survived the Christmas crazies and are enjoying a wonderful new year so far.

Did any of you go to CHA last weekend? I went on Sunday and walked the show with the ladies from Sparkle N Sprinkle (the company that is licensing my art for rubber stamps) and had a blast! I got to watch "Demo Donna" from SNS shoot a Demo for the upcoming Craft Time TV and OMGosh, my head was spinning with all the beautiful stamps and colored papers and glitter there among other things!

SNS will have a booth at the Scrapbooking Expo in a few weeks and I cant wait to go back and check it out along with all the rows/booths full of eye candy. I know it will be alot of fun.

I just finished and listed my new "Easter Bunny Stamp Set" in my Etsy shop, its now available HERE:

FUN WITH ACEO'S

I scanned my little ACEO that I made yesterday so its much clearer and thought I would also share my original sketch as well. I loved creating this one alot and just had a blast playing with my art set that I got last Christmas full of markers, chalk, watercolors and colored pencils, not to mention my favorite, Stickles Diamond glitter glue!

ARTIST PLAY DAY WITH COLOR AND GLITTER

Happy Sunday, everyone! Today was a "jammie" day for me and I loved every minute of it! I took the day off to "play" since this is probably the last day to do so until after January 2nd. The petsitting, Christmas parties and shopping crazies are going to be in full swing starting next weekend so I thought I'd better take advantage of some "me" time today:)

I drew lots of Parables, Christmas images and  partridges in pear trees in my sketchbook and took out my colored pencils, watercolor, markers and my Diamond Stickles glitter glue and had a blast! 

I drew this little Peppermint girl and inked it and then colored and added glitter to it. Oh my gosh it was the most fun I have had in so long, I so miss working in color and it made my creative heart so happy!

I took this picture with my camera so I apologize for the fuzzy image. I think this would be a fun image for an ACEO and also a digital stamp, too:)

WIZARD OF OZ SKETCH

Dont you just love the Wizard of Oz? It is one of my all time fav movies and has a sentimental place in my heart. My Dad and I and our family always used to watch it growing up and everytime I hear any version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I still always think about my Dad:)

In the last week I have been seeing it everywhere! I watched it on TV last weekend, I was at a wine bar with a friend this week and it was playing on the screen on the wall next to us and I took my Wizard of Oz book, that has the whole script of the movie, off the shelf this weekend and got inspired to draw this little sketch. I thought a border with some pretty Poppies would be fun and I gave the scarecrow his diploma, the tin woodsman his heart and the poor cowardly lion a fearful look on his face:) I love that scene where he scares himself by pulling his own tail:) I think this would make a fun holiday image!

SAINT MICHAEL SKETCH

Happy Thursday, everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful week. I finally bought myself a new sketchbook since the one I had was totally filled up, I love that feeling! I love my new one and have been filling it up with lots of Saints and Angels so far.

I have been going to a bible study at St Michael's Abbey once a month here in Southern California and the teacher is Father Gregory who is such an awesome person so I was thinking he might like a picture of St. Michael. I was inspired by the icon paintings of the saints that are so graphic and stylized and all have such beautiful faces. I'm not sure if I will make this into an ink drawing or color it or just keep working on the graphite drawing and give him this one with more details and frame it? I think I'll let St. Michael lead me:)

NEW "NOEL" ANGEL DIGITAL STAMP

I just finished my new "NOEL" ANGEL DIGITAL STAMP I have been drawing Angels and Saints in my new sketchbook over the last week, I just cant stop:)

I guess that's where the Holy Spirit is leading me these days and I'm so okay with that. I drew a sketch of St. Michael the Archangel this morning and lots of St Francis and some calligraphy too so I'll be scanning and posting those this week.

I hope those of you in the USA have a Happy Thanksgiving this week!

Hugs,

Michelle

"NOEL" ANGEL SKETCH

Happy Thursday everyone! What a crazy week this has been. Nothing bad, just so many unexpected bumps in the road of life but thankfully all the stuff that was thrown at me has worked out for the better and have turned into blessings. I love it when that happens:)

One blessing was that I have been home this week, no overnights with any doggies so I've had extra time to work in my sketchbook, my favorite thing, and happily I have completely filled up this wonderful sketchbook that my friend Jamie gave me and had to buy another one which I will be breaking in tonight!

I was going thru my art books and found this gorgeous angel painting by Edward Burne-Jones, called "The Angel." and it inspired me to create this little angel, I'm naming her "Noel." I just cant get enough of angels and Christmas these days and am working on a Nativity sketch too:) I hope to work on Noel this weekend, I will be home all next week as well and will get lots of creative time in (fingers crossed:))

Have a wonderful weekend!

Michelle

FINDING RUDOLPH

"RUDOLPH"

Happy Voting day to those of you in the USA!
I just listed my newest image at my Etsy shop called, "Rudolph" and I never would have created him if it werent for the mice in my apartment:(

I found evidence on Friday last week of little critters in my apartment so I have been cleaning furiously everywhere especially in my closet. I found one of my old sketchbooks that were loaded with Christmas images and  a tiny sketch of Rudolph that I thought would make a really pretty stamp design.

I think the mice are gone but I'm grateful for them because I never would have found Rudolph hiding in my closet inside the pages of my sketchbook!
