White Breasted Nuthatch aceo
I just finished this little aceo and listed it at my etsy shop. It's created with colored pencils on heavy card stock paper.
Today Michael's had a 50% off on all Prismacolor products, so I picked up a bunch of new colors that I didn't have and a box of their Verithin colored pencils. The Prismacolor Verithin is a hard thin lead that's great for outlining, detailing, lettering and cleaning up edges. Ya, I got that from the back of the box. Oh, I also bought a pad of Bristol paper and am excited to try it out.
Well, that's it for now. Have a great day!
hugs,
Brenda

My Two Cardinal ACEO's
This week I've been busy doing artwork everyday. I am having a lot of fun with my Prismacolor colored pencils. So, here are two of my creations. The first is Mr. Cardinal aceo, created on the back side of mat board. If interested, he is listed in my etsy shop, just click on the link above.
Here is Little Miss Cardinal aceo. She is Mr. Cardinal's fiance. lol I created her the day after I created him to complete the set. She is also colored pencil and is created on tan mat board. I really like the mat board support. It has good tooth for taking many, many, many layers and I also like how sturdy it is.
If interested in Little Miss Cardinal, please click on the link above, it will bring you to my etsy shop.
More to come.
Have a fantastic day,
hugs, Brenda

***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 Jacqueline Pettie, and she's a wonderful colored pencil artist. She even has her own YouTube Cannel. I am very impressed by her talent and dedication to her artwork. This little lady is going places, that's for sure.
Well, that's it for now.
Have a great day,

Bunny Go Oops aceo
Here's a little aceo that I did the other day. It is ink on watercolor paper. Yes, that's right, oops means exactly what you think it does. Bunny Go Oops is listed in my etsy shop and as you can see, I had fun creating some zazzle products. Sorry if I have a weird sense of humor, but I just could not resist adding those little droppings behind him. I really did try resisting, but to no avail. It had to be. : )

This is my daughter's bunny, and he does leave those little things behind him. Good thing my daughter is good at cleaning up after Him.
Have a fabulous day!

My necklace came from Zazzle!!!
Ever since Zazzle started making necklaces, I've wanted to buy one of mine from my shop. So, I finally did and it came it the mail today! I am so excited and honestly, I am quite impressed with it. It has exceeded my expectations. It came in this cute little felt bag, and the necklace is quite stunning! It is Sterling silver. Finished with UV resistant, waterproof and a glossy coat. Charm is 1.38 inches and the chain is 18" with 3 inch extender.
Here's a picture I took of it between a gold dollar and quarter. It's definately a nice size. Not to small, but not too big either.
Here I am wearing it. The chain is adjustable and I have it hooked to make the chain shorter. 
That wasn't the only thing that came today. I also ordered this ladies baby doll t-shirt created by Angela Taylor from the ACEO Online Magazine. Angela's Zazzle shop is called CreatWPassion. On the back of the t-shirt it says 'ACEO Online Magazine' with a copyright symbol. I'm the only one home right now, so I am limited on the pics I can take. My arms are only so long. This is the first time I've ordered clothing through Zazzle, and I must say, I love it!
If you are an artist and create aceo's (art cards editions & originals) I invite you to join our ACEO Online Magazine on Facebook, The Ellen Degeneres Ning Site (where I volunteer as a moderator), Linked-In and Flickr.
