I finally got out to Staples and Micheal’s craft store. So I’m crossing off things on the check list! Just a few more items to get for now. Still waiting for my business cards to come in the mail, but I chose a slow shipping price so it will be withing 21 days, bah! Oh well. My bookmarks look great they just need tassels now! The rest of the items I guess Ill just have to order online.
Time to keep up the artwork! new original stuff on the way! and keep an eye out for the release of my bookmarks soon! Also Autumnal Roan is now for sale on my Original Creations! Page
I have another progress picture of my recent painting. Its coming along well but its taking time, since it turns out there is quite a bit of detail in this piece! But I’m loving how its coming out thus far, and I hope its finished within the next few days. I will probably put it up on eBay when it is ready. Keep an eye out for it.
Autumn Fea Moth is available on the site again for $40.00 us plus $5.00 shipping. Just check out my Original Creations!

And soon to get some of those things off my list… damn monies! I had meant to get prints and supplies sooner, but had some fraudulent credit card action, so we had to wait for our new cards to come in the mail. I hope to get some stuff bought and ordered tomorrow.
Hey everyone! working on my new painting. Just got the random idea to call it jack-o-dragon for now! not sure if Ill keep that name… but it works, may be a bit whimsical. I think its going to turn out pretty nice! I have a progress picture to show off for now! 
I’m sure Ill get more work done on it tomorrow. Id like to get it finished as Halloween approaches! Hes kind of a mix between the eastern and western style of dragons, with some long furs! I plan to make it look dark and spooky. Check back for updates on this piece!
I finally figured out how to get a decent shopping cart running here on the new website You can now easily purchase prints or originals via paypal, paypal also allows you to pay via a credit card ! I have set up payment buttons on the Prints Page and the Originals Page. Shipping for all items is a flat rate of $5.00 and purchase multiple items to save on shipping. I soon hope to be adding more products like bookmarks, its just a matter of getting down to the craft store and ordering some things online. Cant wait to do that! im excited to get things on a roll here.
I started a new painting.. Im still on a autumn theme high! I cant help it I love the seasons hehe! Though today it feels like the middle of summer. I had to turn on the AC! My poor ferrets were suffering, not even ten in the morning and I was sweating! Anyway, this time I decided to paint a dragon. It took me some time to decide what I wanted to do, I have so many ideas! My sinister halloween dragon will be clitching a jack-o-lantern. Im excited for this one! Keep checking back for updates!
I decided to list an older but very lovely painting on eBay, its one of my favorites actually, an equine piece I titled Autumnal Roan. I didn’t think its been that long since I painting it, but it was made in 2007! O.o that surprised me. Time goes by fast, I was sure I made it last year! hehe. Its my hope that someone will pick up this gem during the fall season!

I made a check list of all the things I want to get sorted out for my art related endeavors. Reading Jessica Galbreths Artist Manual has helped allot, and I’m getting plenty of good ideas and inspiration from it. Starting one step at a time here, and purchasing more as I sell artwork to cover the fees!
Thought this was an awesome perk to add for original artwork. I made up an image and went to Staples to have it printed, and there must have been a damn glitch in saving the file because part of the top words printed white? So that was an waste of a trip.. frustrating to say the least! Next time I’ll come with a bigger list of prints and supplies so I leave successfully with something! Anyway here is a sample below of it.
I’m looking forward to getting my new business cards. It will be something new and updated and it will be nice to have them to give out and send with orders My autumn fairy still needs some last minute touches to finish, I didn’t get a chance to pain it this weekend as I wanted, but tomorrow id like to get some work done, if not finish it!
Had a great time at the faire today! it was pretty cool, the whole thing was mostly in a forest. They had all these colorful small house like buildings they were selling goods out of and food.. and apparently these vendors actually slept in the top part of these small cottage/shops during the ren-faire.
They had l of shows but we sort of wandered just waiting for the ones we were mostly interested in. There was the Big Cats show and the jousting. The food was pretty good too! I made sure to take lots of pictures. I was finally glad to go, because since moving to the US from Canada I was told King Richards Faire was the best. Each year we kept saying we’d go, and well it has to be six years at least and finally we went! I made my husband Tom and our friend promise to take me this year.
Tom and me outside the festival, on the way home..eating ice cream!
Avery and me sitting at the jousting show and eating the “kings nuts” they were delicious! (they were roasted almonds with sugar and cinnamon)
Tom and I looking at some of the Renaissance inspired clothes. They were expensive otherwise I would have bought this top! would have been a saucy wench if I wasn’t wearing my shirt under it!
Tom and Avery dressed as dashing ren-men!
Tiger and cub
This is Hercules, he is a liger, a mix between a tiger and a a lion, which makes it a HUGE cat. And we were told that 2009 this cat was official the biggest cat in the world recognized by Guinness book of world records
Cubs playing
The King of the Fair with his jester and someone else. They were overseeing the jousting tournament.
Some people showing off old war horses, showing their elegant skills on the battle field.
Jousters! They had four knights they introduced. Naturally we all decided we like the green knight best, cuz he was the evil bad ass one, and we were fortunate enough to be on sir knight Jame’s side of the arena, we were his crowd! Tom, Avery and I had an awesome time working up our side of the crowd. We cheered our knight and got people booing the others XD
