Introducing Sunday Special!

Hello! Welcome to my new weekly blog feature...Sunday Special!

Treat Yourself Tuesday! ~ Painting

My second blog post of the day! Sorry could have organised that better!

I have just got back from my art group and have just done my first real painting of still life, in acrylics. So this weeks theme is Painting which I am taking from Art Fire the site created for artists.

This is a hand painted card by Art by Joan

This porcelain planter is decorated with the Chinese brush painting technique.by Terrance Franz Lazaroff (otherwise known as Clayart) at £225 this is a real treat!

I love this picture! I love the way the bear is almost smiling! This is an original watercolour by Cherilynne Fine Art

 ok so I admit I have chosen this painting just for the Border Collie since I have a very cute one of my own :-) Also the concept of the painting made me laugh! This painting is by Todd Young Art

still life. This is the kind of thing I was working on today! But this looks so much better than mine but then I am just beginning! This is in oils by Meaghan Louise who lives in Australia! It's always nice to see art from different parts of the world :-)

I love the pastel colours in this one! One of the reasons I want to learn to paint is so I can paint sunsets with this kind of colouring. This is painted with acrylics by Pendragon Art Works. Pendragon too reminds me of my Home County Cornwall. "By Tre, Pol and Pen you shall know your Cornishmen" Which means names starting with those like Pendragon :-)

A painting that is so good it looks like a photo! I can't imagine ever being able to replicate what I see so exactly :-) This is handpainted by Veronica's Art

and finally, no collection of mine is complete without a piece of Jewellery and this piece is handpainted porcelain by Saniki Creations

Well I hope you have enjoyed my selection of treats this week though I understand they are treats for a very special occasion! But then Art is for life (not just for Christmas hehe)

I hope you will pop over and see these artists shops and the other wonderful pieces they have for sale and I hope to see you again next week.

Treat Yourself Tuesday! ~ Polymer Clay

Welcome to this weeks Treat Yourself Tuesday! Have you seen my fab new logo? I have been doing a Photoshop course for the past 8 weeks and this is the result of playing with the copy of Photoshop I now have on my laptop! This is the first time I have been able to use it to play and not do exercises with my tutors pictures so I'm so happy with the result! I love the fact it's bright and fun everything that TYT is about! So on with the treats! My friend showed me this gorgeous, oh so pretty, set of Polymer Clay covered crochet hooks ...

Aren't they stunning? They are made by The Fanciful Feline ( Don't you wonder how people come up with their shop names? I do!) This set is expensive but thankfully they are available individually and yes I will be collecting the set! 

So this has inspired the Polymer Clay theme. Here are some more Polymer lovelies...

Aren't these roses pretty? This is for the mould but I can tell you it makes me want to have a go with making them! This is by Whysper Fairy and yet another great name!

Ain't this cute? This lovely sheep has been lovingly created by Heart Shaped Creations

I love this pendant. I do like green :-) this is handmade by Mandarin Moon

Well this would be a luxury! But I love the detail on it! This is made by Franny B Creations

These are exquisite! Such detail and so pretty! Handmade by Laura Bee Studios

 This beautiful Scarf Pin is handmade by Moonlite Hare Do check out her shop! I had a hard time choosing between this and the cutest handmade treasure dish!

All of these items are available on Etsy but my collection would not be complete without a mouse from The Mouse House by Quernus Crafts on Folksy. I have been following her on her website for a while and have waited eagerly to see her Mouse Nativity! My mum has collected mice since I was little and I hoped to be able to buy the nativity for her but even at a piece at a time it was too much to commit to. But here is my favourite mouse...

The Teacher's Pet Mouse :-) so cute! Do pop by and see what other cute miniatures Quernus Crafts do!

I do hope you have liked my treats today and have seen a little must have treat for yourself or someone special (like my mum)

Treat Yourself Tuesday! ~ Music

I'm not feeling very well today :-( I'm tired and feeling very cold! I thought I might not be able to do this weeks Treat Yourself Tuesday but I have come up to my bed with my doggy and am just listening to uplifting music on my laptop and quietly looking for items for this post. I'm taking them from Zibbet this week and as I'm sitting here listening to some, Music is my theme.

So here are this weeks 'Treats' ...

This gorgeous necklace uses vintage pieces and is by 

Spanky Luvs Vintage 2 - Great name!

La Vie En Rose what a beautiful name and the signature song of French singer Edith Piaf who wrote the words. This beautiful bag is by R U Piper Designs

I love this bracelet by Pale Moon Creations

Aren't these just the cutest houses? I adore them! They would look lovely perched on top of your piano or on your music shelves :-) The largest one is just 2 inches tall! They are handmade by Paper 2 Roses

Ijust love this darling little bookmark! Embroidery Treasures and Crafts say it perfectly in their listing "For the music lover who want to let the pages of their books tickle the ivories with this adorable piano bookmark" Isn't that beautifully put?

I had to include these for a bit of fun and for those of us out there with a sweet tooth! Made by Custom Candy Creations it comes in 39(!) flavours :-) I think I would choose Pina Colada or MarshMallow!

and finally an extra special Treat! At £139 it certainly isn't an everyday treat but would look great in your home music room or anywhere in a music lovers house! Hand Sculpted by Diva Art 69
