Large 3' x 4' Red Fairytale Deer Original Acrylic Hand Painted Painting

This is a deer I had to make twice! This lighter red deer looks more like a fairytale deer. It's available at etsy or at www.cinderellamoments.tk
It is $429 with free U.S. shipping. At 36" x 48" he is a very large painting.



This darker deer has already been sold. It went so quickly that I didn't have time to enjoy him! I might have to redo a dark one again.

My Version of Putz Paper Houses

I made these houses a year ago. I wanted to try out these designs I saw in every store. They were very easy to make. I didn't use a template, I just free handed the designs on cardboard. So they are not like the paper pulp originals.


The snowmen are paper pulp. And the balls on the tree are from a Victorian style bead garland I cut apart.


Then lots and lots of glitter and they were done!


I made these trees from wrapping a garland of paper I painted and cut. These are all about 12" to 15" tall.

Paper House for Christmas



This is my Christmas house. It has snow, wreaths,snowmen and snowballs.It is made of cardboard and other paper products.



This shot shows the 2 snowmen up close. I made them from paper pulp. I added twigs and made a hat.


Here are some poinsettia pots on the porch.

Every window has a wreath that is entirely handmade from paper I painted and cut out. Then I added a red bow and painted a lit candle.

Getting Back to Paintings! Santa Claus Portrait

My new completed painting is Jolly Santa Claus with genuine Swarovski crystal snowflakes. This is an acrylic on cotton. It's available at my etsy shop or my website.


St. Nick has been a painting in my head for the past couple of years. And I finally had time to paint him. This is a 16" x 20". I think I'd like to paint a larger version as well. But I have so many other paintings I want to do that Santa will have to wait for his turn to come back again!



$112.75 with Free U.S. Shipping (international $10.00)

A New York Queens Village Mini House


This house was commissioned by Melanie, a fellow paper artist from Etsy! Here's a link: www.mannmnet.etsy.com
She lives in Queens Village, New York.


My picture came out a little more orange. But I took the pictures with sun light and Melanie took hers at dusk or dawn.




This is another paper(cardboard) creation covered with concrete that I carved for the bricks.
That was a lot of windows! But still lots of fun to make!

The window air conditioner was so cute to make! Just a little box with framing.
