Let's Get Ready to Garden!

This has been the coldest, snowiest winter since we've lived in Tennessee. I'm enjoying the heck out of it, yet I find myself yearning for the brightness of Spring. And of course, once Spring is here I'll be missing the snow :-) Gah!!
So to tide myself over, I created this garden-y Etsy Treasury full of things that are sure to make you ready to dig in the soil. Enjoy!

Treasury time again

I was surprised to open the Etsy Treasury and see that new slots were opening in just a minute, and I was able to curate one.....

The theme is Water (since we've had so much of it lately in the form of rain and snow)

One of my heart faces has been included in a beautiful Etsy Treasury curated by Monarchdancer:

Treasury time

Been a while since I made a Treasury on Etsy, just happened to notice an opening tweet by 3squares (who makes awesome jewelry) and was able to grab one!
Check it out.... "Darkness in the Trees".

A Treasury is like curating a small online art gallery for a few days... you pick a theme or color or random items from Etsy that please you. Treasuries 'expire' and then new ones can be made. Great fun!

One of my art doll faces has been included in a pretty Etsy Treasury curated by jennjohn:

Treasury feature

Yaaaarrrr, matey! My copper skull necklace was included in a wonderful pirate-themed Etsy treasury created by paintandink. Some really neat stuff!

Faces, big and small

I thought they all looked neat together so I had to take an artsy shot of these faces. The tiny ones were part of a request to simulate the larger face, which is currently in my Etsy shop, on a smaller scale. The big face is 1.75 inches tall, the small faces are 0.5 inch round.
It's funny, I've painted a gazillion faces but somehow I don't always feel I have control over how they turn out.... almost like each has a little personality fighting to show itself.

Maybe I just need a new paintbrush ;-)

Busy busy busy

Work is going well and I've got my hands full, it's great!

Tonight one of my necklaces made the front page of Etsy and that resulted in a bunch of views, a sale right away, and another inquiry on a possible sale - I was so surprised and very happy :-)
