FAB class from DJ Pettitt

DJ is offering a fabulous online class (Online Image Editing Workshop), starting in Jan. Go to her blog and check it out! She does fabulous work with photos and editing them in Photoshop. She then adds them to her collages and makes some just gorgeous pieces! I would say her class is one that you don't want to miss!!!

Whoops!!!

Sorry for the bad link above.....my Etsy shop is here!!!

New Artwork Listed today!!

I finally got my fanny in gear today and listed my birdie houses and some other artwork in my Etsy store today. The picture above is one of my new listings. I just put them in my original store, since Etsy didn't really sound too hot on opening a second store. Hopefully people can find them...!!!! Now I am going to spend the rest of the day working on Christmas gifts that I need to get made!!!

More Birdie houses!

Here are some more of the little birdie houses that I made earlier. I am going to work on my Etsy shop today and get them added. I really wanted to have a second store on Etsy, just for my artwork, but I contacted them and they don't really like for you to have more than one shop as it confusing things. So I will added them to my Wood Cellar Graphics store under a different catagory. I hope they don't get lost in the shuffle!!!

This one has a little bell hanging on the front and an old washer around the "birdie" hole.

This one has a little locket and key hanging on the front and antique lace around the outside edge.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!! Thank you for visiting and for all the warm, kind comments. I do appreciate it!

little birdie houses....

A couple of new birdie houses that I will be putting in my Etsy store soon. I got the pics taken this morning when we finally had some sunshine. These little ditties are about 7-8 inches tall and approx. 3-4 inches wide. My hubby made them for me and I had fun designing and painting them.

Italic Calligraphy Class

It's been awhile since I posted anything here. Been busy like everyone else, I guess. I've been taking a new class Italic Calligraphy from Martha and loving every minute of it. Above are a lot of the practice sheets I've done. I have lots to learn yet, but it is a good start. I tried to learn
calligraphy on my own years ago...bought some books, pens and paper, but never got very far. It is so worthwhile to take a class from someone either in person, or the next best thing *online*!!
Martha has been a calligrapher for over 25 years and is a natural teacher. I am so glad that I am taking this class from her and making progress. Her work is just beautiful. She has a lovely southern accent that is fun to listen to in her class videos.
I have also been busy making some fun things for my new Etsy store. I have a few more items to get done yet, and then will open the store. Hope to sell a few gifts for Christmas! I already have a store for my rubber stamps, but didn't want to mix the two....my stamps and my artwork. So, soon, Beyond the Cellar will open up on Etsy. In the next day or two, I'll post some of the items I've made that will go in my store.

A Treasury!!

I am soooooo excited!!! I've been included in my very first Treasury on Etsy!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!
It's all about EWE......
What fun!!!!!
