The Afternoon Fled From Me!
Well, the afternoon got away from me...so this post is a little late in the day. I got caught up in finishing making up a round of (pretty awesome) new Sophie dolls, and then my new sewing machine came (!!!), and well, here I am at 8 pm.
Here, also, is a new painting I finished work on in the last few days:
All Horns and Thorns 11"x14"x2" Acrylic on canvas
Her crown is, to me, like the lace band from this post of Amy's.
Have a happy night, and I'll see you tomorrow for the update (I'll try my very best to post photos here of the new Sophies before the update goes live).
xoxo
this picture is one of my favorites. Some day when i get my allowance i plan to buy a copy of this completely delightful yet mysterious picture.

is "all horns and thorns" a Joanna Newsom reference?

Oh I love your new painting. Simply delicious. Makes me want to wear gauzy fairy skirts all the time, even while riding my motorbike!

Beautiful paintings!!! It'll be the first time I'm attempting to catch the store update as I'm 7hours ahead! As it all sells insanely fast, I was wondering how much do the paintings sell for so that I spend less time browsing and more time trying to buy ;)? Thanks!

Your paintings just get more and more beautiful. I swear, I'll never be able to pick a favorite.
My daughter is a Sophie (Sophie Jemima), so I very strongly feel that you should give the male versions my son's name, which is Felix. :) Okay, okay, you don't have to use Felix, but they DO need a name.

I do enjoy that the dress she is wearing looks like the one you wear in a photo from some girls wander. But it is green here! I love them both.
