SOLD!

Yes, although I’ve sold my art before, it was not in a gallery, store, or even cafe. It was more like a yard or market type of sale where people wanted to buy for way cheap.

SOLD!

I priced the above pieces at a decent price, but higher than I would sell it for myself because of the high commission the store requires. But with that said, I still sold them for more than I have ever sold anything. The buyers didn’t haggle and just bought them because they liked them! This feels good.

I actually went in to tell the store that they could lower the prices if they wanted, and they said, “Silly, 2 sold already!” That felt so good.

The above two are the more mild out of l the pieces I have in the store. The others have not sold. Yet.

For Sale!

I am so into the super bright, even neon colors, right now and they work in my Puerto Rican Apartment…

Neon Jungle For Sale, together or separate.

But I realize it is not for every home. Should I go more mellow in color for future art to place in the store?

Here is something I just did…

I call it “Cat’s Eye” and it is For Sale.
It is from a series I call “Te Veo” (I See You)

The wood base was found by a tree stump that is being carved. It stared at me and I stared back.

The Assemblage started with bits, beads, bobs, stuff, and yes, with the above cat heads and other micro mini thingies.

Two unfinished…but startling pieces.
Beads & Bits
Shrooms, Duckies & Ice Cream Cones.

I love finding things…and love the process of how they come together.

See what I did to this framed print that I found on the sidewalk in my next blog post.

Thanks for visiting MY GNOME LITTLE WORLD!

I have been using food jars to store my crafting and arts bit and pieces….

but could no longer handle the glass not being clear and the branding on the tops!

SO…FIXED THAT!

I went crazy with the yellow, Yes…

But yellow IS awesome!

That was after I soaked and removed the labels and then used “Goof Off” to take off any date stamps and left over label glue!

I know the trend is to paint the item glued on top too…

But I like the my toppers in the NUDE!

And some of the toppers even have meaning to me!

Okay, just one!  

Like the green VW Bug is a gift I gave my husband as a joke, because we play “Slug Bug” all the time!

Note: We only do old bugs & buses…other wise we would be too bruised!

But I do have to say I LOVE the doll hands….funky in a creepy way!

Truth…

I am keeping 3 of them, and I decided to put the two with old knobs in it in my shopito to see if I can sell some old inventory that I haven’t used! Paint it, shine, put it in a fun bottle…and maybe it will sell!

NOW…

The below piece I did not dedicate a whole post to because I did not photograph it along the way.

It all stemmed from making the “flowers” for a wreath I made in a previous post.

Cutting, folding and rolling magazine paper flowers takes a lot of time!

But the work was well worth it because…

I love with swirly, whirley, twirly look to them!

I had a wood photo piece that  needed a punch of texture…

So, added felt & magazine paper loves on it!
