One World One Heart Giveaway

One World - One Heart. It's the brainchild of Lisa Swifka of

A Whimsical Bohemian. The idea behind this event is for bloggers
to connect with artists from around the world sharing stories,
creations and giveaways. For a chance to win this Mini Valentine
Crow simply leave me a comment below before midnight
on Feb. 11. I will announce the winning name on February 12th.

Unrequited Love

In this time of chubby cherubs brandishing quivers of arrows,
Hallmark stores overflowing with all things red and pink,
and Chocolatiers and Florists feverishly working overtime,
let us not forget those poor, unfortunate souls suffering from
unrequited love. For centuries it has been the fodder
for Poets, Writers and Musicians. Unrequited love was the
Achilleas heel of Cyrano, Phantom, and Hunchback.
The portrayal of the stoic willingness to accept suffering of
such pitiful characters keeps the art industry alive.

"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."
ANACREON

Calling all Cupids

Finally got a moment to shoot my new Valentine treat bags.
You will find them listed in my Etsy shop.
I couldn't make up my mind whether to go Romantic vintage
or Creepy Halloween so I decided to do a little of both.
I'll be posting my Valentine cards tomorrow so
be sure to come back for more madness!

Here we go again!

The pillows have lost their fluff from many a guest who have
sat and exchanged gifts, thoughts and love these past few weeks.
The sentiments from conversations still linger and I am energized.
Once again, everything seems possible. A new year, a new life,
a new world awaits as I head back to the studio, the paint
smudged smock and the half painted grinning heads that patiently
await their turn to come to life. If you'd like to be among the first to
be notified of upcoming events, sales and giveaways that I have
planned in the new year, click on the "FOLLOW THIS BLOG" link
in the left column.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure.
