Well, the afternoon got away from me...so this post is a little late in the day. I got caught up in finishing making up a round of (pretty awesome) new Sophie dolls, and then my new sewing machine came (!!!), and well, here I am at 8 pm.
Here, also, is a new painting I finished work on in the last few days:
All Horns and Thorns 11"x14"x2" Acrylic on canvas
Her crown is, to me, like the lace band from this post of Amy's.
Have a happy night, and I'll see you tomorrow for the update (I'll try my very best to post photos here of the new Sophies before the update goes live).
xoxo

I do enjoy that the dress she is wearing looks like the one you wear in a photo from some girls wander. But it is green here! I love them both.

Your paintings just get more and more beautiful. I swear, I'll never be able to pick a favorite.
My daughter is a Sophie (Sophie Jemima), so I very strongly feel that you should give the male versions my son's name, which is Felix. :) Okay, okay, you don't have to use Felix, but they DO need a name.

Beautiful paintings!!! It'll be the first time I'm attempting to catch the store update as I'm 7hours ahead! As it all sells insanely fast, I was wondering how much do the paintings sell for so that I spend less time browsing and more time trying to buy ;)? Thanks!

Oh I love your new painting. Simply delicious. Makes me want to wear gauzy fairy skirts all the time, even while riding my motorbike!

is "all horns and thorns" a Joanna Newsom reference?
