 Just added a whole series of instant digital downloads to my Etsy Shop at "Print Me Digitals" about women.  Not princesses, strong, independent women.  I come from a long line of such women and as I was creating these I could envision different women in my family.  Hope they do the same for you.

I am always looking for more quotes, bible verses and inspirational thoughts to add to this website.  If your favorite isn't listed please let me know.

These are 8”x10”, high resolution JPEG and PDF files that you will be able to print yourself at home (like printing a photograph) or have printed at a copy shop or professional printer.  They can be printed smaller or larger, up to about 24”x30”.   A download link is sent to your email address within minutes of your order.  Once downloaded, you can print as many as you like. 

They work well for small and large prints on paper or canvas, stationery, note cards, post cards, puzzles, mugs and on fabrics such as for t-shirts, purses, totes, pillows, etc.  Use your imagination!

New Venue For My Jewelry - The Lily Pad


The Lily Pad on Highway 79 N (the Lake highway) has started carrying my jewelry.  This boutique seems to carry a little bit of everything - women, men and children's fashion, jewelry, shoes, the prettiest flip flops I've ever seen, decorative items, gifts, candles, lipstick - the list could just go on and on.  It's a wonderful store and much needed addition to the Paris Landing area.  The owner is Kim Neumair. I hope you'll stop and visit.

Tulip Boat At Paris Landing

Over the years, I've taken numerous photos of the "Tulip Boat" which have been featured in my other blog at parislanding.net.  I bought a digital camera years ago thinking it would be great to take photos of scenes I wanted to paint.  I would always "clean them up a little bit" in Photoshop.  Many of the photos always looked so good, I never got around to painting them.  


The "Tulip Boat" is back.  It must be Spring! You can see more photos at http://parislanding.blogspot.com/search?q=tulip+boat

My Paris signs are now available as POSTER PRINTS!  They are printed on 185gsm semi-gloss poster paper and come in 3 sizes.  They all have a 5mm white border so you can frame them or just tack them to the wall.  

And they have poster pricing! The rectangle one at top left is only $18.14 for a 16.4" x 21" small, a considerable savings over photographic or fine art prints. The horizontal ones like the black one in the top right corner also start at $18.14 for a 23.2" x 7.7".

New Paper Jewelry In My Etsy Shop

New paper earrings in my Etsy Shop.

These have the look of metal but they are actually paper.  An so light, I include a small rubber fitting for the back of each ear wire to keep them from floating off your ears.  

If you like the look of metal or big, bold earrings 
but can't handle the weight
- these are your earrings!

Typography and Words

I've spent much of my career in the world of print, design, and graphic arts ...  making the printed word look interesting and artful.  And I've always taken pleasure in quotes, inspirational phrases, bible verses - kind of words to live by.  So now, I have combined the two, and use my graphic arts skills just for fun!

A sampling of some of my favorites are shown below.  You can see lots more in my Etsy Shop at "Print Me Digitals"  where you can purchase instant, digital downloads.  These images work well for small and large prints on paper or canvas, stationery, note cards, post cards, puzzles, mugs and on fabrics such as for t-shirts, purses, totes, pillows, etc. Use your imagination!  You can print them at home from an inkjet printer or send them off to be printed just like a photograph.

And if you have a favorite phrase or quote you would like to see as art, please let me know and I will include it in my shop.

More Happy Trees!






Just putting the finishing touches on a commission piece.  "Melissa's Happy Trees" will be going to it's new home in California Monday or Tuesday.






It's the latest of my Happy Trees and was created to go with the client's decor.  She had specific colors in mind and sent me color swatches.



I finish up by signing the front and added two coats of Golden varnish.  The varnish makes the colors pop, gives it UV protection and makes it easier to dust.



I also sign on the back.

I always ship via UPS and let them do the packing.

If you would like me to create a painting just for you - just contact me.

Necklaces

A few of my necklaces.
A mix of modern glass beads, lava beads, my handmade paper beads, and upcycled vintage beads.


I usually prefer to make my own focal beads but I couldn't resist these handcrafted, fair trade, fish beads from Indonesia.  I mixed them with wood, glass, brass and a few of my handmade paper beads.


Don't be square, try some of my handmade clay triangles for a one of a kind necklace.
