When the leaves fall

Here's a little sneak peek of my newest acrylic painting in progress. I've been painting it on and off for the past couple of days as my husband is at hospital. Painting can be such a stress relief.

A couple of 5x7 girls

I love, love how these girls turned out. I hope you'll enjoy them too! They will be available at my Etsy store in a few weeks! It's taking me a little while longer than I thought to set everything up but it will open. Stay tuned!

Welcome to my new art blog!

Facebook is nice to say a few words but I couldn't have enough space there to talk about my art the way I want to!

So here I am, hoping this blog will become the main area where I can exchange ideas and display my artsies for the world to see.

So yesterday I finally received in the mail the Sakura jelly roll pens I had ordered on Amazon. I got a good deal on both sets of 10 pens each. One was below $10 and the other about $14. The main reason I got them was because they're great to add finishing touches to mixed media pieces. So here are two pieces I did yesterday using Copic markers, Sakura micron pens for the inking, and Sakura jelly roll pens for the highlights.

The scan doesn't show the raised lines of the Sakura glaze jelly roll pens I've used here, but these are fantastic!

Isn't this fun?

 Well, I hope you'll follow me in my art adventures! I'll be talking about small art commonly called ACEOs or ACTs too. Live art to the fullest!
