Christmas Crafts and The Harvest Moon

New Paper Maché Ornaments

Hello Beautiful Friend! 

I recently noticed the Christmas goodies are lining the shelves already!

So that nudge to create something just for the holidays came over me and I stopped by Hobby Lobby to see what creative trouble I could get into. 

I found these sweet paper maché ornaments to paint. They are super lightweight and delicate. They come in craft paper brown with a gold braided hanging string. They were easy to paint with my acrylic paints, but if you are going to try these, keep in mind they are really absorbent and I found they needed a base layer of paint to make the design pop. You could use paint pens to decorate these, but I would still recommend a base paint layer first. I also added a finishing coat of varnish over the top to protect the painted design.

There are a couple more ornaments in violet and teal blue and they are all up in my Etsy Shop. I only painted 4, as I plan to do my ceramic Heirloom Ornaments this year. Ornaments are always a lovely gift idea, especially hand-painted and one of a kind. You might even consider personalizing them for  extra unique gifting!

I hope you find some craft and create time this season. If you do, please share what you make!

BTW, Happy Harvest! Here is a picture of the Harvest Moon I took last night. Check the sky tonight to see her, as well.

New Greeting Cards - All Occasion and Holiday Cards!

Hello Beautiful Friend! 

I have been painting a lot of greeting cards lately. I have an upcoming Art Market 

next month and I know if I don't start now, the Christmas season will completely pass me by before I know it!

Along with having ample stock for my event, I also love to send out my own hand-painted greeting cards for the Holidays. It is a lot of work, but because love to paint, it only makes sense to over-produce. 😁 By the way, no matter how many cards I create each year, I ALWAYS run out!

Here are a few of the cards I have listed on my website.

 

I have some printed holiday cards on the site, as well, in packs or single card options.

I think it is safe to say, it is never too early to grab some holiday cards to have them ready to go!

If you haven't been to the website lately, you may also notice new artwork originals, matted and ready to send to a new home! These are 5x7 artwork in an 8x10 Mat, perfect for a standard frame of your choice! Check them out here. PS, these make wonderful gifts for birthday, Mother's Day or housewarming!

Have you started your plan for the holiday season? Do you craft your gifts or make your own cards? Please share in the comments!

Peace, Love, and Creativity,

New ACEOs - Collectible Little Art Cards Now Available!

Hello Beautiful Friend! 

Have you heard about ACEOs?

Here are a few I have created recently.

What is an ACEO?

ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions, and Originals.

Collectible art cards measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches, the traditional size of a trading card or baseball card. Their size makes them perfect to Collect, Trade, Frame, or Gift!

All the ACEOs shown here, as well as a few others are now available on the Original Art page of my website.
They are priced at $15 for now, with FREE Shipping and come with an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity. 

Everyone should be able to own a piece of fine art, which is why I love creating these littles.
They also make perfect gifts to surprise your bestie or Mom or that person who makes you smile! And in case you are wondering, YES, there are 2.5x3.5 sized frames at your local craft or box store!

What do you think about tiny art? Let me know in the comments.

Happy September! Artwork Refresh in Progress...

Hello Beautiful Friend! 

Welcome to September. We made it!

I am hoping we welcome the Fall weather soon. 90+ degrees is too hot, even for me, to wear my scarves. 

I have been on a roll, painting 5x7 artworks on watercolor paper. Needless to say, my Original Art page on the website is getting a refresh!

I put a few of my new artwork in mats and they are now available on my website.

I will have some at my next market event next month, if there are any left.

I have also been working on holiday cards. I have a few packs and some single cards. Those shown below are personal size-4x5 with envelopes. 

Don't forget to check out my Etsy shop periodically, as I run sales there often.

Also, check back here often, as it is that magical season when Spoonflower runs a ton of sales! I will try to keep up with them and post here early enough for you to take advantage.

Happy September, Friends!

Peace, Love, and Creativity, 

Jodi

Hello Beautiful Friend! 

Fall is creeping...can you feel it?

Autumn Sunnies Scarf in Rust Red

I can! It may be hottest at the end of Summer, which is typical for Southern California, but I am currently working on new designs for Fall and Winter. I do have some pretty Fall Decor and Fabrics in my Raspberry Creek Fabrics and Spoonflower Shops, which should help transition into the next season! Designs below are from the Finally Spring Collection, which swings nicely into Fall with its rich, warm color palette.

I have added a couple cuties to my All Holiday Collection, too!

Penguins and Snowflakes in Navy
