Pendants For Kathryn

I have finished the miniatures for kathryn's order. These were so much fun, I really had a blast painting them.

My favorites by far, are the butterflies. I took so many great photos of butterflies this summer, I really wanted to put them to good use and paint some on a few pendants.

It has kind of inspired me to do a whole series of butterfly miniatures now.

Kathryn's favorite themes were Hydrangeas and Roses so I did a lot whith those 2 kinds of flowers. I also tried to vary designs a bit to keep them interesting for both her and me.

I'm really looking forward to starting on the Emu Egg brides' box and should be getting that going later on in the week. I will post pictures of the naked egg before I start painting it so you can see what I'll be working with. I'm so into the idea of painting jewelry boxes now that I think I will get some more of these going and add a new section on my ETSY site, just for jewelry boxes.

More Miniatures

In my spare time I've been painting quite a few miniatures to list in my ETSY shop. The above is Hydrangea Wreath.

All these pins are done using an acrylic paint for the background as well as the main subject.

So far I've been painting pins that can double as pendants but I've decided to come out with a dedicated line of pendants. The next ones I paint will have a bail on the top so you can slip a chain through.
