Bird's nest art

It isn't Spring yet, but I've already started drawing my birds and bird's nest. Here are two things I have done with my original art. One is make a pendant and the other is a fabric transfer. Both can be found on my Etsy site:

2012

Well here it is another year! But new things are on the horizon and I am going to commit a little more time to this blog! Hopefully.
I have some new things on Etsy. I have renamed both of my sites:
www.southernartandhome.etsy.com
on this site I am offering vintage finds for the home and decorated wedding card holder bird cages! Looking forward to thrift shopping for some great finds!
The other site is: www.kimberlyandersonart.etsy.com
I've been adding original art, art transfers on fabric, and mixed media pieces.


There are lots of good things happening and I hope to be able to stop and write in this blog more often.

Art ornaments

Art ornaments created from my original artwork and adhered to a wooden circle, very nice jewelry bail added on back for the hanger. I embellish them with glitter around the edges (not very visible in photo).

A Holiday Affair

4 different vendors including myself on November 14th - Lulu's in Fletcher!

New small work

These are original pen, ink, and watercolors done on 100% cotton and then adhered to a painted wrapped canvas. To make them come to life I use a dimensional material for dots and dashes and fun elements.

Apple Festival Time

This is an 8"x10" Sgrafitto illustration of Apples on a branch. This piece is heading to Wickwire gallery in Hendersonville just in time for the Apple Festival - August 2nd thru Labor Day!

I enjoy the festival and hope that the weather is just right... not to hot, and definitely no rain!

Bird on Tea Cup

I haven't been here in a while. Life gets hectic.......... I've been working on several things and this one was cute and fun! It is a 4"x6" pen, ink, and watercolor. The cup is a little askewed but the bird is my favorite!

Hummingbird and Hibiscus

5" x 7"

Hummingbird

One of my favorites subjects is the Hummingbird. Here is a small 4" x 4" of a sitting Hummie! I get a lot of my inspiration and reference photos from Birds and Blooms magazine.

Handcarved rubber stamps

These are some new rubber stamps I've been carving for my Etsy site: http://www.kandcrafts.etsy.com/ Design flowers - set of 4 and French Irises - there are 2 different Irises for a set of 2.

Weigela and Birds

I was walking one evening with my good friend and we passed a Weigela bush (I didn't know the name of the bush - but she did), she proceeded to break off a huge limb and hand it to me and said this will make a great sgrafitto piece. Needless to say we were still a mile out on our walk and I had to carry that huge limb -- but she was right it did make a nice piece.

Orchid glass vase

These vases are extremely hard to photograph so I haven't been posting any of them. This is a rub-on transfer from my printer that adheres to any non-porous surface - thus I have been making vases and votives with my art for a short while now. This product is terrific - you can use it on wood, glass, and tiles.

I cut out the objects with an exacto blade so that the glass shows through.

Orchids note card

New work

5" x 7" Note Cards

Still working on my note cards. These are 5" x 7"'s. I am having a great time enhancing my work by adding some designs in the background.
