The layered strands are attached and neatly bound at the back of the neck so the piece stays in place and does not twist or tangle-really is stunning when worn!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1qluCXvElDEgiNS4UWpw3wQ7pujl8MX-n7e9gxFPSQoA6_v9rLoaDiOzzY6NwSX5HMZxAHn6Yxosuvr0kfGivVYN89zxI1xGmiRfLrJm3AyLYo6T5p4F112fpYZqjY8L4NnZNA/s1600/nk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1qluCXvElDEgiNS4UWpw3wQ7pujl8MX-n7e9gxFPSQoA6_v9rLoaDiOzzY6NwSX5HMZxAHn6Yxosuvr0kfGivVYN89zxI1xGmiRfLrJm3AyLYo6T5p4F112fpYZqjY8L4NnZNA/s400/nk.jpg" /></a></div><br />

"The Hollyhock Stalk"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year, in my flower garden, the hollyhocks grew to be 9 feet tall. I was amazed! There's a full six foot of flowers and blossoms showing on each stem, plus the huge leaves they bear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided the hollyhock stalk was the hero in this flower drama, for they bear the weight of it all! They don't break in the breeze, and sway back and forth gracefully. I did give them a bit of help by roping them to the yard fence in a few places, but mostly they stand alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just hope they do this again next year, for I've been enjoying them so much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you stand level, inside the grouping of hollyhocks, this is the view you see as you look toward the sun. I love to stand inside the tall plants, and look out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed seeing these flowers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original painting is for sale in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/79855369/hollyhock-stalk-original-acrylic?ref=ss_listing">Artist Peeps R Us</a> gallery on Etsy.</div>

I can't help it, I love cows. Even after spending a lifetime of working with cattle, and all their personalities and foibles, I still love them. Nothing is cuter than a cow's face!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in honor of the cow, I created this painting.</div>

Hope your day is as bright and shiny as she is!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One day I was walking through the aspen thickets on my cousin's ranch. The Rocky Mountain Front loomed above me, and Fish Lake was by my side. Ahead of me, was a large rock. Suddenly this feisty little chipmunk jumped up on the rock and proceeded to tell me what he thought of me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was so small, and so cute with his bossy ways. I had to paint him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a small painting, just 4X4 inches in size, on a gallery wrap canvas, so you don't need to frame this if you don't want to. The painting continues on around the sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you'd like to purchase this painting, it's listed here in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/79325345/dr-102-fiesty-chipmunk-on-a-rock-4x4">Artist Peeps R Us</a> gallery on etsy. You can also contact me to purchase this painting, or to have this painting placed into a one inch pendant you can wear around you neck. If you love nature and the animals you find there, you might love to have this as a pendant also!</div>

Simply Swans is an 8x10 that I've been working on for months. Finally last weekend I changed the coloring of the swans and I like it much better. I still haven't decided if it's done or not. I am thinking of adding a few more highlights and shadows to the swans and possibly the water. What do you think?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWZ3EHPxdgsDwsywOzCvC0zRZ6hIPiV6C_pH7s5aLqM99IbJBZFvt00D-RlrM8jPuxtKCAryDa7TS8ToQUj0vNG6ZtJmkozhiYJFV6GAWkb5hqVd8ig4gSqXXWLJG5Sq20U-f/s1600/thourrock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWZ3EHPxdgsDwsywOzCvC0zRZ6hIPiV6C_pH7s5aLqM99IbJBZFvt00D-RlrM8jPuxtKCAryDa7TS8ToQUj0vNG6ZtJmkozhiYJFV6GAWkb5hqVd8ig4gSqXXWLJG5Sq20U-f/s320/thourrock.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> This is a rock I did several years ago and it had become all faded, so I gave it a facelift.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxkR7aEgpCN6SLqW74YwLMsqNEyOt550UNT2wJjTEYnAq8jo08d_mQG67C1pE39iaqdMRwXUOps5Czubv2cYSFnoG5zXOhN3ArAS9ggRpOOvMxAWFDLIwbS3SMNBLtfhREyzr/s1600/cardinalplanter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxkR7aEgpCN6SLqW74YwLMsqNEyOt550UNT2wJjTEYnAq8jo08d_mQG67C1pE39iaqdMRwXUOps5Czubv2cYSFnoG5zXOhN3ArAS9ggRpOOvMxAWFDLIwbS3SMNBLtfhREyzr/s320/cardinalplanter.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> I got this beautiful cardinal planter from my sister for my birthday a couple of years ago and it had really faded also. The male cardinal was a yellow red and the flowers blended in. I might do some of the grass, I'm not sure.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVYKeEXh9Zscll9djoWXzZhWLnIp2_52ADJDmiDDMJGcoZVUtLdcf9LQKoonB424v1woqkeKTFDIBKciXbcASQb1ZLOKKtnsJTbFsb3hLfMzO8WDjns7EEQYeJ4EbOjKMFGPDf/s1600/frog+rock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVYKeEXh9Zscll9djoWXzZhWLnIp2_52ADJDmiDDMJGcoZVUtLdcf9LQKoonB424v1woqkeKTFDIBKciXbcASQb1ZLOKKtnsJTbFsb3hLfMzO8WDjns7EEQYeJ4EbOjKMFGPDf/s320/frog+rock.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This little froggy rock got a face lift too. He was lookin' kinda sad. <br />
<br />
As you can probably see I had a blast with my craft acrylics, it's the kind of paint I used when I first started painting. <br />
I hope you can find some time to hop on over to the Host Blog of <a href="http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/2011/06/paint-party-friday-week-12-check-in.html">Paint Party Friday</a> and check out the other entries. You will find some awesome artwork!<br />

<blockquote> ***</blockquote>This past weekend I was looking around YouTube on colored pencil tutorials, I am always wanting to learn as much as I possibly can. I came across this young artist named <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Jacqueline-Pettie-Art/171992593259">Jacqueline Pettie</a>, and she's a wonderful colored pencil artist. She even has her own <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CocoHotpix">YouTube Cannel</a>. I am very impressed by her talent and dedication to her artwork. This little lady is going places, that's for sure.<br />
<br />
Well, that's it for now.<br />
Have a great day,<br />

<center style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"Byzantine Blues" is one of my recent series of small paintings, just 11 x 14 inches. It's one of those paintings whose name seemed to arise out of the ether as I finished it. While my title does not really fit the <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/byzantine">definition of Byzantine</a>, I still like it for this work. Since it's my painting, I guess I can call it whatever I wish! One of the added joys of making art is the freedom to associate ones image with words and name it thus. That is, to see an image in your own unique way. </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The viewer too, is called upon to see whatever he or she wishes, and that is the freedom that is inherent in the ambiguity and mystery of abstract art. Although the bottom line is that titles are not at all <u>necessary</u> to the visual experience, especially of abstraction, and may even detract from the viewer's freedom to see it in his or her own way.</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><italic><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I am delighted to be offering for sale this lovely fabric art concertina style book, made from heaps of yummy fabrics .<br />
It is filled with a selection of five (5) darling little tags, all handmade textile art ,stamped with words such as care,love,always...plus faces and pretty embroidered designs. The whole thing folds up concertina style and slips into a case made from vintage fabric.Every surface is embellished lavishly,inside and out!<br />
Nothing to stop you, of course, using the folding booklet to keep your own special keepsakes in and taking out the tags to embellish your journals,art, or even special gifts.<br />
Each tag is layered intricately and many of my own hand dyed fabrics are used too. Each is finished with stunning colourful yarns,ribbons and fibers. Tags measure an average of about 2" long.<br />
This book,closed, measures ( approximately ) 4" x 3",( not including all the trails of lace and fiber embellishments) and ( approx) 2" or so thick.<br />
A really delightful collection of truly unique art tags! <br />

</center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been wanting to get back to painting, because painting is my first love. I had promised myself that my next post would be about pigment instead of pixels. But nature intervened and threw me a curve. </span></center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had all but given up on finding anything pixel-worthy on my walk today, when I stumbled upon these dried "Lamb's Ears" plants (as a friend of mine calls them). They are just slightly wilted from the cold, which has been intense for a December on Long Island. But their light gray-green color was outstanding against the auburn of dried, fallen leaves.</span></center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's sometimes hard to find subjects to shoot on suburban streets, unless one comes across a wooded area or something at the very edge of the street. In order to respect people's privacy, or should I say their feelings about privacy, I never point my camera towards a house. That's why I so enjoy getting out of the neighborhood to the larger outdoor spaces with my camera. Not only is there usually more to shoot, but I feel free to point my camera in any direction.</span></center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I've seen this cluster of plants in the same location before, but today the light was right and the colors just popped! Whenever I take in a scene or object of beauty, I feel rich. So today held a tiny bit of serendipity for me.</span></center><center style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Since that time, I've ordered and received one to keep for myself, and I want to share my excitement with you.</span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I not only want to show you my new product, but I want to take the opportunity to thank Marlena and Robbie again, for not only inviting me aboard, but for producing a gorgeous product.</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You can see by my photos how lush and soft the silk is, how vivid and pure the color, and how beautifully it drapes and folds! I'm totally thrilled with it and can't wait to order more in the future. </span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When Marlena first contacted me, I was busy with a lot of projects and obligations, and I felt the pressure of getting some images together for her. But I'm so glad I did it! I love her array of "fine silk art-scarves in limited editions." Not just because my designs are among them but because they make a beautiful accessory for adding color and warmth to a dreary, gray day. And they make gorgeous keepsake and holiday gifts, as well!</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What you see in this post are a few of my own photos of one of my scarf designs. I wanted to show you how it looks flat, and the sheen and gracefulness that it retains when it's folded.</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I wish Marlena and Robby all the luck with their shawl and scarf products! You can check out their catalog here: </span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.designerscarvesbymarlena.com/Meet%20Lynda%20Lehmann.html">My Gallery at Designer Scarves by Marlena</a></span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many thanks to Marlena and Bob Burger for inviting me to add my designs to their catalog of fine wearable silk art! I love color, so I can't wait to purchase one for myself and wear it. I'll post the link when my designs go online, so you can see them and give me your opinion. </span></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />

Face is hand painted with permanent pigments and her body and wigs are lusciously padded.<br />
Hangs approx 38cm (15") - metal hanging hoop is already attached to the back for easy display! <br />
<br />
I love these, they are such a delight to create-I'm already brimming with further ideas for future characters!<br />
'Giggle' and some of her friends are available for sale and will be at exhibition during Henri Lloyd Falmouth Week, for exposedART on Events Square, Falmouth on Wednesday 11th August. More details to follow soon!Sujati - Sue Young-Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03799611259942027150noreply@blogger.com2
