Spirit dolls, tree ornaments

Last night I finished a few tree ornaments for my eBay store, now it is a matter of listing them, which is not my cup of tea, but I must do it today.

They make wonderful Feng Shui companions or tree ornaments.
  • FOR SALE AT MY EBAY STORE


  • I decided to use photobucket because it sizes them for me and I don't have to waste much time with photoshop and moving them into my site, but it seems that once I have changed the size there is no going back, I get them too small or terribly large...any ideas?

    Upcoming Exhibit in Cleveland


    This is my assemblage titled "Slinky and Puzzled" that will be in the "True Value Vintage Exhibit" at the Pop Shop Gallery in Cleveland Ohio from Dec. 2nd thru Dec. 30th 2006. The theme of the exhibit is childhood memories and vintage toys....so I did mine representing the slinky and puzzles, which were among my favorites. I've incorporated my digital art in this piece.

    If you're around Cleveland this Saturday Dec. 2, drop in for the opening from 6-9 pm

    This piece will be available after the completion of the exhibit (if it doesn't get sold :) at
    http://www.genesiscollectibleart.com

    This piece is a little "over the edge" from what I usually do, but I had fun experimenting with being a little more abstract than I usually am :) I like to "push the envelope" every now and again.
