Trades with Pipercat99 & Saltybean

Pipercat99 on flickr so made my day today! she agreed to trade her white Chu chu Nikki cat for my Monomono Dal. I've been searching for a Nikki cat for a while now and am so happy to be able to trade for one!!
Also, I set up a swap with saltybean. We are going to trade stuffies! I can't wait to display one of her funky mermaids in my art studio!!
My grandmother came through her triple bypass surgury a-okay yesturday!

I made these three stuffies within the past week for a friend, who owns a baby store, The Nesting Company. Hopefully someone will fall in love with one and will buy it!

doll eyeball necklace

EmbellishYourself and I recently did a trade on etsy. I received this amazing eyeball necklace for my dolls. I sent her one of my felt skull coats. The eyeball is made by her, in her home lampworking studio. The detail is truly amazing! It was also packaged in an cute little heartshaped metal box. I love doing trades, especially ones where we are both so happy with the results.

a new mermaid

I have not painted a mermaid in ages. actually, I haven't painted, period, in a ages! This is a custom mermaid for SASessories via a trade on etsy. I am getting a couple pairs of her beautiful earrings in return. SASessories wanted the mermaid to have red hair and to be curvy, that's what she's getting. I was delighted to try some new techiniques that I've picked up on & never had the chance to use. (ex. purple shading, tiny scales, using hues of red and make some of the hair look farther away than others, a new way to do the face, the background, etc). I am so happy with how this piece has turned out. I wonder if prints would sell on etsy...
