Miniature Silver Ornaments

Here is the little conversation block I have been working on for the last week.  To be completely honest, it  did not turn out as cute as I thought it would, but I have three more laying in my craft closet, and I hope to get them done soon.  And a couple of miniatures, I came along those pretty little frames and could picture the project in my head right away, I hope someone will enjoy getting them for Christmas.

Christmas Cards

Following some good advice I have made my Christmas inspired pieces into a set of cards.  They are now available here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/83926889/set-of-4-jane-austen-christmas-cards

An interesting, if somewhat disturbing treasury.

Today a card from my shop got featured in this very unusual treasury on Etsy.

"What are men to rocks and mountains?"

This little hand painted bookmark depicts Elizabeth Bennet, enjoying the sites of Derbyshire.

Henry and Catherine of Northanger Abbey, married and living at Woodston, are the inspiration for this watercolor.  Henry, in his shirt and waistcoat (unlike my other, more formally attired heroes) is reading one of Mrs.Radcliffe's horrid works over Catherine's shoulder.

 I had this tree hanging around my house for a year and did not know what to do with it.  J.A. quotes, decoupage, platimum paint, muslin ribbon, lace and some sequins made for a good way to spend an afternoon.  I love painting most, but working with other mediums is very satisfying as well.
