gnomes, fairies, monkeys, OH MY!

I had to edit this post because I thought the pictures were terrible, plus, I added a little more detail to the paintings. Anyway, here are my tiny new favorite things. gnomes! I love these little guys more than you can even know. J.R. and I hide them all over the house and I giggle every time I find one. They are so small you can hide them on picture frame ledges etc. I found one in my sugar jar the other day when I was making my coffee. I am selling them for $8 if you are interested!

This is the tote I made to keep Piper's 3rd birthday present in: which is a felt board with shapes and characters for her to play with. I was thinking about about Henri Matisse' paper cutout pieces when creating the shapes for her to play with.
Following are examples of the type of art you can make;
