Here are
some of my miniature-paintings:
If I don’t
sell these at the market, they will be for sale in my Etsyshop.
I
experimented with a doodle on a mini-canvasboard (10cm x 10cm – 4”x4”), which
gives a nice result I think, but it’s really small for a doodle. I like making
doodles with lots of things to see, and there’s not much room for that on these
small boards. But it was fun nonetheless.
I also
experimented a bit with collage on a mini-painting. And that was so much fun
I’ll certainly do it again. I took a face from one of my paintings and glued it
on a painted canvasboard. I then painted a neck and changed the background a
bit, gave her some long eyelashes, and added a quote, and she was finished!
Quick and easy, I like that (certainly when I’m short on time ☺). Here she is:
Painted
some more rocks, but didn’t take pictures yet, so I’ll show them next time.
And had fun
with these little wooden leftovers that I put quotes on:
Made more
magnets:
And
finished my boxes:
And that’s
about it. The weather is looking good for tomorrow, so there should be a good
turnout. It’s the first time I do this market and I have no idea how it’ll be,
but let’s hope I sell some things ….. If not, they’ll either go to the gallery
or I’ll sell them in my Etsyshop.
I will be
linking this to Paint Party Friday tomorrow. Be sure to have a look over there
to see the work of approx. 100 artists linking up every week. It’s worth it!
Two more
things: Sweet Karla from Poetic Postcards gave me the Liebster Award. For this
award I need to answer some questions and nominate some people, but I’ll do
that in my next post, otherwise this one will be too long. Thanks so much
Carla, I feel honored!
And lastly:
be on the lookout for my post next Friday, since I’ll be doing a giveaway, to
celebrate that I have reached the 200 followers-mark on this blog, and almost 400
likers on Facebook.
Okay,
getting ready for bed now, the market starts early and I had some (very) late
nights this week. Don’t want to fall asleep sitting in my stall ;-)
I hope
all’s well with you. Thanks so much for visiting my blog, and I hope your Easterweekend will be full of joy and spring!

Congratulations on reaching 200 followers! I hope you had a great day at the market today your stall is always so eye catching, I am sure you will have sold lots. Enjoy the rest of the holidays x
ReplyDeleteEverything so lovely and desirable. I don't kmow how you think up so many thoughtful and interesting quotations to add to your work and give them that special 'ooomph'.
ReplyDeleteAs it is Saturday today I hope all is going well at the market, and that you will go home tired but happy with the results.
Hi Denthe,
ReplyDeleteLove all of the gorgeous colourful art. (How soon "Not Now" Becomes "Never") Great quote!
Enjoy your day at the market and wishing you lots of sales today!
Happy Easter,
Annabelle : )
Beautiful art here as always! xx
ReplyDeleteLots of juicy stuff today. I love the faces with quotes. I resonate with several of them. The boxes are great too. That getting old quote reminds me of my friend Ruthie. She never got old but always got older. When she turned 75 she turned her birthday the other way so each year she became younger.
ReplyDeleteHi Denthe. Hope you have plenty of sales at the market, also hope all is well with you. Love all your beautiful art and your quotes are taken to heart, all of them. Hope your weekend is great and thank you for your nice comment on my blog. Happy Easter, PPF.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much beautiful art. I agree with AnnD, the middle face is my favorite. Love the hair! And I love the effect you got with the collage using your own image.
ReplyDeleteThe boxes are so cool! And I particularly like the quote about getting older.
These are all wonderful - I hope they sell well!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, I love them all, I hope the market goes very well. I especially like the girls with quotes, very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteSo much wonderful work. You should do well at the market. The girls with quotes will sell I'm sure -- we all need beautiful inspirations. Thanks for sharing your work.
ReplyDeleteAll your creations look wonderful and great quotes too! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteLove the 'doodle' Zentangle, the mini Collage and the little wooden quotes. What fun, but hectic. Good luck and Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeleteOh! SUCH such beautiful, colorful, inspiring work! You've been busy! Good luck, I'll be thing of you and rooting for your success, xoxo
ReplyDeleteha ha I hear you I can really relate to 'Reality Keeps Ruining My Life' I am inspired by your girl with her eyes closed. Yes indeed I must seize the day! Happy PPF
