New Painting: Ready for Change

Ready for Change - Original Acrylic Painting

I just posted this painting in my artbyangie Etsy store.

This tree reflects changes that are coming to life. Everything in life changes with time, and there's nothing you can do about it. Sometimes this change is wanted, and sometimes these changes are hard to deal with - but regardless, change becomes accepted once you're ready. Sometimes you just need time to get ready.

Etsy Love: JDavisStudio

Today I'm featuring the lovely work of JDavisStudio from Etsy. His little house pieces captured me the minute I saw them! It's like wearing a little village on you, and it would make the perfect cutesy gift for a homesick friend :)

Etsy Love: Vintagechickdesigns

Today I'm featuring vintagechickdesigns, from Etsy - aka, Jeremy. I had favourited this shop a long long time ago - it was one of my first few favourites :)

Top left to bottom right: Love note necklace, Haven locket necklace, Angel wings necklace, and Loraine necklace.

As you can see, I'm a fan of her cameo pieces, and I think her little love note in her necklace is adorable! I won't lie, it was really difficult trying to pick four of my favourites from her shop. There is an amazing amount of detail in each piece, and most - if not all - of the chains have a few beads Incorporated to add interest. Although her pieces have a vintage feel to them, they would pair up wonderfully with chic modern clothing, creating an original essence.

Jeremy also has a blog, www.vintagechickdesigns.com

New Painting: Daddy's Little Girl

Wow, two updates today! Who would've thought? (well, I secretly knew all along mwah haha). On the topic of secrets, I have two secrets, which will be revealed in time! One I'm almost done and the other one will be started in a couple days.

Daddy's Little Girl, Original Watercolor Painting

I love this painting, the two trees are holding hands :) Enjoy!

Etsybloggers Blog Carnival: Spring Bloom!

So spring is in the air, and it is indeed here to stay! I've actually decided this summer to do a little garden in my backyard - mainly to help save on my grocery bills with some easy to grow fresh veggies, but also to have completely fresh veggies and know what's been on them :) Given that the rabbits don't eat them all!

So, since the theme of this blog carnival is spring bloom, and I'm gardening, I'm going to feature some "garden" products from Etsy!

Top left to bottom right: The Windowsill Herb Pot, TheBumbleBeeStudio; Herb Garden Plant Markers, NinaGibsonDesigns; Turquoise Flower Pot, boneyardpottery; and Green Bud Vase, Dovecotedesign.

I absolutely adore the windowsill herb pots, and I think they would make wonderful gifts - they're the gift that literally keeps on giving, and who doesn't like fresh herbs all year round? The garden markers are, I find, very chic. Not only would they be beautiful to add to your garden, but much more durable then other markers, and reusable! The flower pot would be wonderful to grow some cute flowers in it - I'm especially fond of daisies, so I know it would be filled with those if I had my way! And the Bud vase would be perfect to put those daisies in!

New Larger Prints Available!

I'm offering two new larger prints in my shop :) There will be more updates today - a new, original painting will be listed :)

Inspiring Music: Before He Cheats

Ok, I've been listening to this song over and over and over again; it's been on repeat in my iTunes for quite some time. Now, it's not because of personal reference, me and my hunny are awesome lol; it's just so catchy! Don't you agree?

Sorry that I couldn't get the original video; embedding on it is disabled on YouTube; but here's a link to it - linky link

A Black Apple Stationary Set - 4 cards / envelopes

It's been made with hand carved stamps out of linoleum, and then stamped onto the most gorgeous cream-colored card stock! The envelope is stamped in the corner, and it made from 100% recycled materials.

I've also been really busy painting, now that my finals are over! Here's a custom order I did (Clicking on it will make it nice and big) It's a series of three painting - hence the white lines between the purple and blue trees:

Also, I'll be listing a series of paintings in my Jellybeans Etsy store - as soon as I'm done the series, I want to list them all at the same time. There will be four of them, here's a sneek peak:
