Next up: Alpha Stamps' Summer Vacation/Beach theme ATC swap. I cant wait!! :D

Newest addition to my collection of art! *UPDATED*

After falling in love with this about a year ago when I first saw it, I finally bought it! I was surprised that it was still available as the artist is pretty well known and the piece is just... so awesome!! Have a look!


"She hates picking up after the Lambs of Christ"
Christie (bastet2329) '09
I know, right?? I absolutely love nuns and the little lambs are adorable. I very much like Christie's style. All her work is dark and gothy yet very cute and girly. There is an innocence to it all that I just love.

This particular piece is almost 6 by 8 inches in the frame and is made of acrylic paint, sealer, ink, a vintage children's book page and is made on a piece of illustration board.

Next on my list of 'To-Buy from Christie' is one of her amazing dolls. I particularly love the vampire nuns, skull headed girls in black dresses and the Día de los Muertos dolls.

**CAUTION: MUCH OF HER WORK IS HORROR RELATED AND THERE IS BLOOD AND/OR NUDITY. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS BEFORE CLICKING LINKS BELOW IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED**
Find, view and buy from Christie/bastet2329:

Her website, Etsy shop, eBay, and facebook.

**UPDATE**

I received my painting today and I could not be happier! I am very happy with not only the painting itself but also with shipping time as it only took basically three days to get to me. She is so so cute and is definitely one of my favorite pieces of art I own. Christie gets a big thumbs up from me and I cannot wait to buy from her (or her increadably talented artist boyfriend, Chuck Hodi) again!

My newest love now lives on a wall in my bedroom with one of my favorite vintage rosaries:

Happy Birthday To You!

For my sister's birthday this year, I really wanted to make her something meaningful so I chose to make her a necklace with a photo of her son. I like what I came up with and, more importantly, so did she.



These pictures are pretty terrible but hey, they work, eh? I really wish I would have gotten some better snap shots of it before I gave it to her... ah well :)

The second picture does show how cool the cabochon (bubble) makes the pendant look. To make it, I just glued the picture of my nephew to a 1 inch pendant then glued the cab down over it with some Glossy Accents medium. The little metal heart charm above the pendant says 'Labor of Love' and is just so cute and little.
Everything (aside from the picture of the cute kid) is from Alphastamps.com

Une Tasse Exquise De Thé!!

Tonight I finished 1 of 2 of the tags for the Alpha Stamps Mad Hatter’s Tea Party Ginormous Tag Swap.

My second one is almost done. I just need to buy more of the white resin frame corners. I really hope who ever receives my tags enjoys them :D
