New 'Heart' prints.

It has been so long since my last post, every day has been wonderfully busy painting, fulfilling orders for shops, making a new collection of giclee prints from my original paintings and I'm starting to create a new online art gallery.  In this post, I wish to show you the new 'Heart' prints. These are printed on A4 matt archival paper with archival inks and hand embellished with touches of gold leaf.
These are now ready and listed in my etsy shop.

New Giclee prints of fairytales and folklore

During the long Winter months and icy cold nights I created a few new paintings inspired by folklore and fairytales.  By the end of February, I longed for the first signs of Spring after a beautiful 'Snow Queen' english Winter.  The first snowdrop flowers and crocus arrived, showing their faces to the sun.

New herbal spirit dolls

Try as I might, I cannot just paint pictures. So I have been making new spirit dolls with herbs inside such as dried rose buds and lavender.
These ooak dolls look lovely standing among plants at an altar.

I love hand sewing. I do have a sewing machine, for I find hand sewing is so therapeutic and peaceful.

So back to the goddess and mermaid world to sew on crystal chips and gorgeous beads.

Some of these are in my etsy shop and I'm working on the beginnings of another workshop for September.
