I hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful, and relaxing weekend leading up to Christmas. It really should be that way, but we tend to get caught up in the stress and expectations. I am enjoying a quieter time this year. Maybe it is a different mind-set, or maybe it is wisdom from the past. Although I am having a good sized group in for Christmas dinner, I am preparing beforehand and will try to keep what is really important in the foreground....family and friends.
I finished up and listed a few last things on etsy today. Some little mini assemblage birds. They are really cute, made from brass stencils. I enjoyed putting these together. Here's a few pictures.
I finished up a group of assemblage birds yesterday. I am keeping a few aside as Christmas presents, but put the rest on ebay. You can place a bid here if you are interested. It is always fun to watch the ones that seem to be more popular. My favorite is the bird with the butterfly. I am almost tempted to keep that one for myself. The "good egg" is the first one that has a bid, though. I guess people like certain ones for their own reasons. I have found that at my shows as well. My artwork will appeal to someone because it sparks a memory, or a color scheme, or a certain saying on a piece. Anyway...here's a few pictures of my latest birds.
Ahhh...Sunday, what a great day to relax and catch up before a new week begins.
We watched "Capote" last night. I was a little disappointed, it was slow. I know it got great reviews, but it just seemed to drag. I was really excited about seeing it too...Maybe I need to rewatch it when I am a little more awake.
I set up my etsy shop today

I listed a few of my art birds on there. I love making these birds, they are so much fun and they all really seem to have their own personalities. I have become a little obsessed with birds, nests, eggs and flying. Maybe it is the flying/freedom factor that is so appealing.
I also listed some of my key pins. These are made from old keys that have been painted, drilled and embellished.
I bought a huge load of keys this past summer and started playing around with them, the key pins are what developed. I recently offered them for the first time at a show I did and they got a very good response.
Hope you all have a restful Sunday!
