Mini painting

Trent and I went to the frame shop the other day to pick up an order, and we saw these mini frames there and I fell in love!!! I just had to create something to go inside one of those itty bitty frames. Now, I didn't buy one yet so I don't have a photo of the painting framed but I HAD to share the painting with you anyway. The painting is only 4x3 in. Cute huh!!and a close up view here

A chick with a party hat on

Okay everyone here is my latest painting inspired by a Balderdash game played with my family and my brothers close friend Alex Mcbean. Do any of you know what game I'm talking about? Do you all remember the inside joke created from the above mentioned game? By the way, I have plans to paint a duck wearing a party hat next time. :) Happy Thursday everyone!

Halloween "old-fashioned" photo.

We spent about two hours on Photoshop today figuring out how to make these new Halloween photos look old (we turned them sepia tone and added vignettes, "scratches", "dust" spots, made them slightly out of focus, caused over-exposure, etc.. There are no short-cuts for any of these, so that's why it took us two hours to figure it out). We plan on doing similar photos for all of us. Enjoy (and vote for your favorite). :)

Little Lola Doll in a flowery dress

Hello again, Sorry to have taken so long to get this dolly finished. Shes up on my Etsy right now. I love her! The thing I love most is she turned out better than I thought. The eyes turned out better than last time I tried to embroider eyes. And I lust love her braids! I hope to make the rest just like her just in different dresses. I even drew a pattern so I can make them JUST like her! That makes this a lot easier.
