Little Artist

I think my daughter shares the same interest in art as me! I am really impressed by her drawings that she has been working on lately, she just goes off and works on a picture and them comes back and shows me, I really started to notice some talent when she showed me this sunset picture and the Horse she made, and the heart with all the designs around it! I know what to get her for Christmas! Art Stuff! I have kept all her work and put them into a booklet so we can look back to see what she has done, she works on journals too, amazing art her age, but I guess I have groomed her along the way, with what I do. This week she brought home a book from the library called Georiga's Bones, she picked it out herself, most times she will get something like My Little Pony, but she liked this one, I like it too, it is a children's book about the artist Georgia O Keefe, the pictures are wonderful, it tells the story about her as a child growing up and attracted to things in nature, she loves to draw and paint and grows up to be an artist.

The Primitive Gathering

Today I have a guest feature spot on The Primitive Gathering , I have listed some one of a kind works, so drop by for a peek if you wish. I have been busy working on some Christmas Tyme Decorations, I made some pretty little woodcut ladies and 18th century shoes, along with some tiny beeswax candles, this set is just the right amount to decorate a little tree with. I have some cats and heart woodcuts to finish this week, for another little tree. These are available in my shop.

Autumn Greetings

With the crisp fall air and the bittersweet colours of the leaves we can't not take some of these warm inviting colours into our nest. I have been busy creating some wonderful paper goods and folk art treasures inspired by the fall season. I will be joining a artists group called The Primitive Gathering as a guest for October 15th, I have made some new works that will be exclusive to that release date, so watch for some new pretties. Here is a sneak peek of some of my early prim wares.

Hearts

This little picture I had of two girls in gingham dresses was just perfect for the bunny inspired piece that I thought of making, actually this song by Longfellow came to mind while putting this piece together, using the red hearts in this collage felt very homey, simple but just right. I will make this little collage into a charm along with the Cat Sisters, so watch for them in the shop next week.

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O'er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.

H.W. Longfellow
