I am in a mood for gentle things...

One day I think that if I see another pair of wings slapped on something with a crown or pointy hat I'll scream.... next day I create something just like that and LOVE it. Isn't that funny? I can't stop playing with images of little girls, butterflies, birds and dinosaurs with wings. I actually like it that much that I can't part with them. I will probably bind them in some kind of a book/house, so that they can live happily ever after. I don't keep my work (unless no one wants it and it doesn't sell), but I am keeping these tags (for now) and selling extra wonderful prints.
I scattered them on etsy and eBay and am more than happy that some of them sold already.

So - babies, butterflies, birds and - Barry Manilow. I surprised myself...that is so not me... but I went and bought his "Best of Sixties" CD and was singing it at the top of my lungs in my car. I was feeling like an old lady and a little kid at the same time. Kid because I remember my parents singing those songs while I was little. It felt comforting to be surrounded with gentle melodies and words today. Old lady - because I like to think that I am more 'with the times' and that I listen to the same music as my 20 year old son. Anyway... Barry Manilow, oldies and fairies - that's the place where I am now.

Published!!! :-)

I could try to be "cool" and pretend that it is not a big deal that my dolls are published in Art Doll Magazine... but it would be just that - pretending. The truth is that I couldn't sleep after I received an email (in August) that they will be published and now that I see them in print I'm floating around with a silly grin. What an amazing feeling! Some of you know that I have a problem calling myself an artist so to have a two page spread in this amazing magazine is a big big big deal.

She needs a name...

... and a home. I have an idea for the home, but could use some help with the name... pretty please...

My brain is going to explode because I can't make up my mind... I have no idea what I want to do. I would like to create everything in every possible style with every technique known to man. I can't do it!
After spending last couple of days agonizing over this, I decided to relax and have fun. This character came to life while I was watching a black&white Gregory Peck movie (wasn't he the most handsome man?). No collage, no special mediums and million pieces of paper and paint around... just watercolor. Extra unusual for me. It was very refreshing not to have an hour long clean-up time... :-)
