A QUOTE TO INSPIRE YOU!

A friend of mine gave me this beautiful inspirational quote over the weekend and I just had to share it with you, even if its anonymous. Please read it and be inspired and always believe in yourself (This gorgeous creation with my Pearl image was created by Michele Spera and I thought it would go perfectlywith this quote:))

"May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.


May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.


May you use the gifts that you have recieved, and pass on the love that has been given to you.


May you be content with yourself just the way you are.


Let this knowledge settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."

MY ART MADE A DIFFERENCE TO SOMEONE

This week has not been the best week for drawing, inking or for sketching creativity so I thought I would try writing today for a change. Since I started Michelle Perkett Studio in 2004 I have recieved so many wonderful comments about my work and I have been grateful for all of them, whether they were from someone at an art faire, commenting on my blogs, or on one of my online groups. They are the reason why I have kept creating even through the many highs and lows of being an artist.

The other day I recieved a letter from a wonderful new Etsy customer that I just had to share with all of you, it has touched me as an artist so much, I hope it touches you as well:

"Michelle, I just wanted to share something with you. Yesterday was a stressful day, to say the least.I decided to color some of your beautiful ladies (digital stamp images). Even with having to deal with all the nonsense, I realized that I was smiling to myself. Then I realized that my hands stopped shaking.The wonderful energy that you put in each of your blessed creations, poured thru, and made me feel better. Then I realized that even my pain level had lessened a bit.I really can't thank you enough. Michelle, finding you is a blessing.Thank you & may you receive the joy & love that you have given to others."

This is one of the nicest letters I have ever recieved as an artist and to know that my art helped to make someone feel better and to brighten someone's day is such a gift. As she wrote in her letter, "finding you is a blessing" - to me, she is MY blessing and I am so grateful for her words. Thank you so much for your beautiful letter!

PEPPERMINT TULLE CHRISTMAS FAIRY SKETCH

After working on my St Lucia sketch this week I think I just shifted into Christmas mode and drew three little images this morning in my sketchbook. I wanted to share the first one with you.

This one is called the Peppermint Tulle Christmas Fairy:) I think she would make a really super cute digital stamp dont you?

ST LUCIA CHRISTMAS SKETCH

Today I was inspired to draw a Christmas Goddess from the holiday celebrations in Europe with St Lucia that I think is such a beautiful tradition.

I'm not sure if I will keep the candles and replace them with flowers but I will let my inspiration lead the way:) What do you think?

DOT THE WITCH AND DASH THE CAT SKETCH

This weekend I was drawing lots of Christmas images including a new Christmas Goddess, but I wanted to share a little Halloween sketch I did, too.

I am calling this fun little witch, Dot and her little kitty cat is called Dash:)

Happy almost Halloween, everyone! Are you all dressing up for Halloween on Monday evening? What will you be? What costumes are the kids putting on this year?
