New Art in the New Year!

Hello...sorry it has been SO LONG since I've visited with you!  So anyways, in the new year, I hope to...

* be better about blogging * try encaustic painting (I got a kit to get started!) * paint more * get out of the house more * connect with friends * take more walks * read more books * and laugh more.

Above are two pieces I created for Valentines Day.  The little hearts I made from polymer clay...it was the first time I have worked with it and I really enjoyed it.  I hope to work with more in the new year as well!

Pin It

The piece above is just a fun little painting / collage, created from an old school workbook.  I just love how it turned out.  I feel that I am off to a good start to the year, as I have created these three new pieces and have a few more in the works!  I would love to hear your goals and wishes for the new year, so please feel free to share.

Farewell Cottage Cheese Ceiling...

Dear Cottage Cheese Ceiling,


It is time to bid you farewell. I cannot say that I will miss you. You always had many, many spider webs hanging from you. I cannot believe that anyone ever thought it was a good idea to place you on a ceiling, you look much better in a garbage bag in the dumpster. You lived a long life, 32 years is much longer than you should have hung around. I cannot say that I will miss you, farewell and I’m glad I will never meet you again.

Sincerely,

Lani

Sugar Plum Bazaar

I can't wait to be a part of this 1st ever Sugar Plum Bazaar in Denver, CO!  It is going to be GREAT! :)

ON SALE NOW!! Recycled Type Pendants

As I was browsing through all of my expired listings on etsy, I decided to put ALL of the remaining Type Pendants I have in stock on sale! There were 16 of them in all and I have marked them down 20% off the original price...they were $15, now only $12. As an added treat for reading my reglected little blog, just mention that you saw this ad here and save an additional 10% off the original price!

The back of the pendants have random security envelope patterns...so each one is reversible!

Don't Miss This Great Show...THIS SATURDAY!

NEW NIGHT LIGHTS!

Here are some *NEW* simple little night lights that I've recently posted in my etsy shop...





I've already sold two of the "home sweet home" ones! I really like that they are so simple! I have more of them to list with different says to...hopefully I can get them added soon! What do you think of these night lights? I would love to have any feedback that you might have!

Now that I've got my feet back under me...

Geesh...I've once again neglected my blog! Now that all the craziness of Christmas is over, hopefully I can once again get back to posting at least once a week...we shall see! I was VERY busy this year with spring, summer and holiday shows. My holiday shows were a success, especially Holiday Handmade put on each year by Fancy Tiger. I only have a few shots of my booths and I am hoping I can get those posted soon.

So not only has my blog been neglected but my etsy shops have suffered too. Today, I finally got some new goodies posted in Lani's Vintage.









Aren't those just the CUTEST little rubber critters you've ever seen? If I still had little ones, these would be staying with me to decorate the nursery! I also listed this great industrial storage cabinet.






If you can't live without any of these things...then hurry over and snatch them up!

The CUTEST Memory Box!

First off...I know, I know it has been a long time since I've done a post...so sorry! I can't promise that I will be better at posting on a regular basis, but I will certainly try to be better!

A few weeks ago a darling little gal came into the gallery in Eads (Artists Of The Plains) to have a peek around. I wasn't working that day, but my wonderful friend Lil was, and she is always so kind to tell customers about my memory boxes that I make (I made 5 for her last year as Christmas gifts for her girls)! So anyways, she showed this gal and she loved them! She then contacted me about doing two custom ones for her. I just LOVE the way they turned out, here is a peek at one of them (she asked me not to post the other one, as it is a gift).





She loved them so much that she even made it her facebook profile picture! I've had lots of inquires about them now and I'm hoping I will have lots more memory boxes to make soon! Let me know if you are interested in one and I will get you a quote. :)
