EniThing Fall Art Bazaar!

I had a wonderful time last friday at the Fall Art Bazaar! I met a bunch of wonderful people, and was actually pretty successful!
My biggest sale of the night was also my very favorite painting; I am so very happy she went to a good home!
I finished her just 2 nights before the big day. Here she is:

She's entitled "The Dreamer". I was inspired by this incredible thrift store frame I found; she was painted specifically for it. The painting itself measures 5"x7", and is acrylics with antique music sheet circa 1890 on canvas board.

Two New Paintings

These are my 2 newest paintings, which will be at the bazaar tomorrow night:('Protected' - 8"x10" acrylics with decoupaged antique music sheet circa 1890, on gallery-wrapped canvas)


('All Roads Lead Home' - 8"x10" acrylics with decoupaged antique music sheet circa 1890, on canvas board; will be framed)

More New Items!

More goodies to share with you as I prepare for the Art Bazaar this friday, each one hand-painted: earring posts, hair pins, art boxes (decoupaged with circa 1890 sheet music), and a paperclay crow sculpture. More still to come!

New Pieces for October

Trying new things again!
Here are new pins, pendants, rings, hair pins, as well as a paper clay house and a paper mache box. Each piece is one of a kind and hand-painted!:

The nest rings in the bottom right are made of actual acorn caps, and the eggs are hand-formed out of paper clay and hand-painted, and securely adhered inside. These are for the Fall Art Bazaar I'm attending this friday; I'll be posting more pics as I finish them!

Do They Think Of Me At Home - Acrylic Painting

Here's a new painting, added to my Etsy shop! It measures 8x10 on gallery-wrapped canvas, with a circa 1913 music sheet from a song book decoupaged for a background. These are too much fun to do! I'll be adding several more shortly!

Hurray for Rings and Earrings!

With my venture into little art shows I decided to add to my jewelry by making rings and earrings! They are so much fun. The ring I wear is really an eye-catcher; people comment on it wherever I go. And with the earrings I've made them tiny little posts (sometimes I think I like to dare myself to make something as tiny as possible to paint on to test myself; this time I believe I went overboard!)
Right now I only have them in the little shop I consign with. But look for them soon in my Etsy shop! And please don't be afraid to contact me at hoydendesigns@gmail.com should you like one for yourself before I get them up for sale. :)

First Boutique Show

There's a local boutique I sell at called EniThing (you can find a link to the shop's website on the right sidebar) that had a small sidewalk jewelry show one evening a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to be asked to join, and this is the little display I set up. It's the first time ever I've done anything like this, so though it was a small venue it was a HUGE deal to me. I was surprised (seeing as how introverted I am) how much I truly enjoyed it!
