David Copperfield - Printed Book Page Art - Limited Edition

Sorry I didn't have a chance to post a Wednesday Wish List...I had to do some major grocery shopping. :)

*****************************************

Awww...don't you just love Charles Dickens?

I created this piece by taking a picture of one of my many creepy/cute vintage bisque dolls...they are a new obsession of mine. One little lad in his tux...which was a bit tattered, I thought would be so great to print on a book page of the Copperfield story. How lucky I was to find in my book collection a vintage Readers Digest with the story!

I will be printing each one on my Epson R1800 with archival inks that last a VERY long time. I am going to make these a limited addition of 250. This is number 1 in the series, so you'd better snatch it up quick. They will come signed and numbered on the back of each print. Each one will measure about 5.25" wide by 7" long.





I listed this on etsy yesterday (click here for the link) and I checked on it today and it said it only had 1 view! Goodness...I thought it was a really cute piece, what do you think of it? I would love to have your feedback as to what you think about it!

Lollishops has a new look...take a peek!

Just wanted to share that Lollishops has a new look, so head on over and check it out! There is also some REALLY great goodies for easter...it will be here before you know it!

A Few New Pieces - Lil' Soldered Art

Stay and eat some cake...you know you want to. I just listed this one for sale on etsy!





A one-of-a-kind piece that I've created and sandwiched between two pieces of archival glass and soldered. It even has a little easel attached...so just sit it on a little shelf and enjoy!

This sweet thing measures about 2 3/4" tall and 2" wide.

A few more that I will be listing soon~

A gift for Christmas!

I made these little shadow boxes for my Mother-in-law for Christmas! Each little shadow box has a picture and name of one of her grandkids (two of them are my rug rats). I have so much fun making these and hope to make more of them soon to list on etsy very soon.








You can just sit these little boxes on a shelf or hang them anywhere! ;)
