Artful Pendants

I've started a new creative adventure that I'm having a tremendous amount of fun with, I'm creating glass art pendants from my paintings and photographs. I've also launched a new ETSY shop, Artful Pendants!

I have to say that making each pendant by hand is very therapeutic and relaxing. I'll be adding more and more pendants to my shop over time but for now, I feel I'm off to a good start.

All the pendants, whether they are photographs or paintings, are inspired by nature and therefore, I felt I had to do something quite special and "natural" when photographing them. I have to say, taking photos of them is almost as much fun as creating them.

Pendants are $7.50 a piece and I will always be running a buy 2 get one free offer. I hope you will visit my new ETSY shop and enjoy these new nature inspired pieces. http://www.artfulpendants.etsy.com/ .

Newest Additions

A couple of weeks ago I finished a gourd birdhouse for a customer. I painted it with red Poppies on a soft white/green background.

I would really like to paint one for myself one of these days, it is actually on my list of things to do. Right now though, I'm painting a new mailbox for myself, as the one I have now really needs to be replaced.

In the egg crazy state that I find myself in these days, I did paint a new egg - Purple Hydrangeas. I rolled the egg in many different colors, both watercolor and acrylic and then let it dry before I sketched on my design. Once the Hydrangeas were painted on, I added some crystals for sparkle.

Both the Red Poppy Gourd Birdhouse and the Purle Hydrangeas egg are available at my new ETSY shop - http://www.eleganteggart.etsy.com/
