High Tea

August 12, 2016

High Tea   5"x7"  watercolor on paper

I have had quite a few tea parties, and enjoy a ritual of tea every day - often more than twice! - and so I know precisely how my little mouse friend feels. Here is her miniature accompanying story: 

Celia Mousekins has a great fondness for two treats, sugar cubes and Earl Grey tea. Here she has combined the two pleasures in one, and gives it a stir, as she enjoys a mouse sized version of High Tea.

Miniature pieces of wearable art is now at your fingertips with these pendants.

I have molded some of my favorite friends into antique-style jewelry, to carry around with me near to my heart at all times. Each pendant is made by my own hands and I take great care when crafting each of these little glass beauties.

I was so excited that I promptly took a Leah Bear necklace out for a spin yesterday afternoon. She was received with much enthusiasm (to my own great delight!)

Just in time for holiday gift giving, stocking stuffers (or a self indulgence), I have listed these pieces in the shop!

Cold Hands, Warm Hearts

Cold Hands, Warm Hearts   8"x10" gouache on paper
Perhaps one of my favorite scenes that I have been painting lately is this snowy setting with two unlikely friends. They could be planning a cup of something warm once they reach their destination, they may be discussing the upcoming Christmas party, or they may be having a discussion on the book my rabbit friend is carrying in her hands.
Either way, I would love to be able to listen in on their discussion and make plans with them.
