http://smallworldofinchies.blogspot.com/

The theme this week is Marie Antoinette and after looking her up to make sure I was spelling her name right I read about her last words.. they say she accidentally stepped on the executioners foot on her way to the guillotine and said " Pardon me, sir" and that's how I came up with my two Marie inchies.

CLOSE-UP RILEY

So busy the past few days, but I plan on getting back to some challenge blogs and art for fun as soon as I get caught up with my business work first. Here's some close up Riley to hold us over...

PINK BOTTOM LIP AND LEADERSHIP INCHIE

I love, love, love... when his bottom lip shows....

This is a pendant I made after using this design for a postcard theme the other day, the postcard is here

http://rileycoyotecreations.blogspot.com/2009/02/giving-up-worked-my-chair-postcard.html

and the pendant is below and in my Ebay store!

The theme for http://inchybyinch.blogspot.com/ is Leadership, an interesting theme. I used a picture of my favorite president ever. I know politics can be a very dividing topic, but I picked Reagan because of his strength of character. So instead of thinking Rep. or Dem. when looking at these inchie let's think, strong leader that lived and led by example. Thanks!

LAP DOG AND BLACK HEARTS

Big Grey Lap Dog

This is my entry for

http://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com/

The theme this week was hearts, I had done a bunch of Valentine hearts already so I went with black hearts this time, you can click to see the words if you like. "Emily was in a black mood"

RILEY AND A KISSING INCHIE

3 Minutes from a deep sleep..

This is my inchie entry for http://smallworldofinchies.blogspot.com/ the theme this week is "The kiss" this little boy looked like a wolfgang to me..

OWOH WINNERS!!!

The two winners of the domino pendants are Dreameyce and Debra I will email both of them to let them know they won and get shipping info. It will be nice to go through all the blogs now and be able to look at everyone's art and pictures. Thanks for the 290 entries filled with sweet words about my pendants and Riley. It will be interesting to see how many people sign up for OWOH next year!

GIVING UP WORKED - MY CHAIR POSTCARD

I gave up making a chair postcard because nothing was turning out good for a couple of days.. once I put everything away and started looking at art cards in my files something good came back to me and I got all my stuff back out and came up with this.. and I'm so relieved, because I like it. http://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com/

NOTHING IS WORKING

I've been trying for 3 days to make a postcard for the postcard swap and 2 days trying to make Edgar Allan cards for an ATC swap, I hate everything I've put together and I've just put everything away for the 3rd night in a row. I give up for now. I have to wait for some good juju to settle back in. This is so frustrating.

SLEEPY EYES AND ST. PATRICKS DAY PENDANTS

He looks so innocent when he's sleepy..

Here are two of the 8 domino pendants I made today, they are in my Ebay shop. I wonder and worry about mixing my Ebay stuff with my fun stuff.. but.. I don't know.. we'll see how it goes.

I really like this one even though she has a lot going on. These are the first of my St. Patricks Day pendants.

Silhouette and Rose Themed Inchies

Slim...

Here are 2 inchies for http://www.inchybyinch.blogspot.com/ the theme for this week is roses. The first inchie I paired up Edgar Allan with blood red roses.

This second inchie I thought the orange rose was striking on it's own, so all I did was add a black border and I let the flower speak for itself.

Peeking and Patriotic Postcards

Keeping both eyes out for bad guys

These are two postcards I made to send out to wounded soldiers from the Soldiers Angels group http://www.soldiersangels.org/

I started out sending store bought thank you notes but I made a postcard for a challenge site a couple weeks ago ( http://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com/ ) ever since then I've been making my own postcards to send out.

Silver Winter Inchie

I had some more free time!!
This is my entry for the INCH BY INCH Challenge http://www.inchybyinch.blogspot.com/ The theme this week is winter. I used duct tape for a post card last night and the silver seemed perfect to use as the background here too, I added little snowflakes to give it a snowy feel. Thanks for looking!

Bright Eyes and The Man in the Moon

He's trying to look cute so someone will go outside with him..

Here is my entry to the postcard challenge blog, http://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com/

the theme this week was circles, I had the man in the moon stuck in my head so this is what I came up with! I used duct tape for the background and maybe the second picture shows the little stars better on the background. This was fun!

Send in the Clowns and Smell This

Close up of the grey boy..

Here is my entry pic for the challenge blog http://smallworldofinchies.blogspot.com/ the theme this week is clowns so I thought big top right away and here is what I ended up with.

Now I have to do more work for the business side and mail out orders, hopefully I'll have time later to work on the postcard challenge, it's so hard to balance and get free time.. but so worth it!

Window and Valentine Zetti ATC

Here is Riley on the job.. not quite on high alert.. but at the ready.

Here are two cards I made for an ATC swap Valentine fairy is the theme.. I went Zetti with it and I love them! Sad, gloomy, grey fairies, love it! I have to make more and mail them out before the 14th!

For the rest of the day I will be packaging up orders that I have to mail out. I hope to get it all done and have time later to do some of the challenges on my favorite art challenge blogs!

Sleeping Boy and No Art Work Weekend

It's been quiet here on the creative arts front. I had to finish a total of 30 special order domino pendants this weekend so business took the place of free time for artwork for me, but I hope to jump back in on some of the challenge blogs this week and I have ATC's for swaps that I have to get moving on as well. In the meantime.. here is a sleeping boy, looking so incredibly comfortable it makes me want to go back to bed...
