Live the life you imagined...


...and for the most part, I do. I feel grateful as I think about Thanksgiving and my life. I am blessed with a wonderful family, good friends and good health.
Everything else is icing on the cake...
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I'll bake and cook tomorrow...

more angel ornaments

Here are two more Frozen Charlotte Angel Ornaments from my Narrative Doll Series. They are about 15" long with their skirts and chain. I really enjoy making these! These were sold to an art gallery in Bothell, Oregon- Art and Soul Gallery.

angel ornaments for Christmas

Before I sent out a large order of my Narrative Doll series to the Art and Soul Gallery in Bothell, Oregon, I took some pictures to post here. I love how they turned out! Each one was different and unique. Here are just two from the order-

cats still rule

I received some feedback that the watermarks on my last post were too busy and distracting from the actual collages- so I re-posted them without the watermark at all. I do like to put something on my artwork, as I have found it being misused here and there...sad but true...anyway...here they are again, sans the busy watermark...hope this looks better!

Cats rule

Just finished these last night. Anyone who loves cats will understand these!
I think they make perfect stocking stuffers for a cat-lover!
I've listed them in my etsy shop.

**NOTE** below have watermarks on them- (eBeth Parsons and website).
The 'real' ones don't have the watermark!

when you wish upon a star...

makes no difference who you are
watercolor 2.5" x 3.5" (ATC)

I have always loved this childhood verse...I painted this ATC from the view point of outer space...we are in outer space if you really think about it...yes?

I made the gold blobs by dropping mica powder bombs from about 15" high while the paint was sill wet...

Mica Powder Bomb - very technical term

off on a tangent...so easy to do!

While making wings for a largish order of my Narrative Dolls Angel ornaments, I got a little side tracked...while making polymer wings, I fell into making some tiles a la Laurie Mika. Love them! These little beauties are addictive. I went through my rubber to find suitable tile-making images...here are just but a few. Laurie gives clear directions in her book: Mixed Media Mosaics. I recommend the book for any newbie (like me) to polymer clay.
