My 2 new paintings were really fun to work on. I used lotsa layers of vintage French and English text within layers of acrylic paints. I loved the whole process and am so happy with the yummy texture!! I kept the colors very neutral with raw black lines.
"Pretty Dress" 6x12 collage painting:

"Bird Friends" 6x6 collage painting

I also added my 2 little Valentine Girl Cones! This was something totally new for me and I loved making them! I used more vintage text (when do I not!!??) paints, ric rac, buttons and wire...topped it off with some pink shred and VOILA! The sweetest little Valentine...that you can leave out all year!

Here's a peek at my new mini canvases too! They can be found over on ebay until the beginning of next week.

So wonderful! Your work is so amazing! I kept thinking about one you did awhile back of a mother and daughter and decided I wanted to try something similar of my daughter and me--and now I love yours even more! Greater appreciation I think!

hi jeNn!
Your new ladies are fabulous! They have a dreamy look about them. The cones are way fun!
I think you should consider zazzle too - how adorable would your little girlies look on a stamp?!

My goodness, I feel I've accomplished something if I get a load of wash done - then I come take a look and you've got all of these great projects done! I really like your two new paintings, I thought that you had used oils at first - they have a dreamy old-time look. The cones are cute, do you plan on doing them seasonally?
Oh, I love, love, love your creations!! The buttons are perfect a perfect compliment to your girls dress and your cone pieces are absolutely charming.
Hey Jenn,
Everything looks great! You have such great ideas:) Thanks for adding me to your blog!

Bonjour Jenn, Thanks for all the posts you left on my blog, been just too busy to leave any on yours but visited it daily. Your last paintings are wonderful, and your painted cones just awsome! You are so productive, you amaze me! I see you added real buttons on one your paintings, I did too a few weeks ago and got great comments about it! Keep up with the great work, Jenn, you are doing so well, you deserve it! Have a great week! LuLu xxx
