Original FAIRY CAT Cigar Box Purse by Federico

2011-08-09T12:48:00.000-07:00

Hand painted! This eBay auction ends this Thursday, August 11. This will probably be my last Fairy Cat themed art for the season since I'm concentrating on...Halloween Art!

Artwork in Progress

2011-03-28T15:15:00.000-07:00

4 Halloween mini-paintings, 2 Halloween purses, 3 Halloween pendants, 1 Halloween trinket box, other jewelry, a custom cat painting, and....an Easter themed box featuring bunnies and a winged black cat. The Easter box is a bit of a struggle for me since I prefer working with dark jewel tones, black and fall colors, not pastel colors!

Blogging Away!

2011-03-22T10:40:00.000-07:00

Still sprucing up my blog...what do you think of the design? That's my Angelina as the background.

I'm also thinking of offering a blog giveaway, something I've never tried but other artists do...

Now on eBay! A one-of-a-kind flying black cat with golden wings cigar box purse! This auction ends on Wednesday evening, February 16.

Available art on my web site!

2011-02-10T12:36:00.000-08:00

I've FINALLY set up my web site to sell some of my art! PayPal, of course. At this time I'm only selling to those within the United States. I still sell on eBay and Etsy, too.

Words escape me....

Oh how I wish I had the Gift of Gab. Maybe I would write on my blog more often! As I sit here in front of the pc with one of my poodles in my lap, I'm racking my brain wondering what to say. Here goes nothin'!

This week I've been working on several projects, a fairy cat cigar box purse and two trinket boxes, a Siamese and a tuxedo cat. Last night I did a few sketches for future Halloween ornaments. Also, rabbits to go on a Spring treasure box. Rabbits, you say? You'd think those would be a piece of cake for me since they are kinda close to drawing cats....aren't they? But no, they're stocky with fat feet. I don't like fat feet; cats have dainty and feminine feet! Even polydactyl cats. Our Angelina walks like a stalking panther even with all four feet having multiple toes. Anyway, the Spring box will, of course, feature a cat. Don't worry, the cat will be nice to the bunnies...

Art Studio Project

2010-10-25T14:06:00.000-07:00

Painted another wall in my studio today. I'll paint behind the furniture when we remove all pieces for new floors. I didn't want the poodle-girls to smell the paint fumes so I closed the door. It's so windy today I couldn't open the windows too wide. Whew...! Strong smelling stuff!

Tomorrow I'll straighten up the best I can so that I can start working on Christmas art. We won't get a new floor until after the holidays.

Steampunk Art

2010-04-12T13:41:00.000-07:00

Just lately I've become interested and fascinated with Steampunk. What is it? "Steampunk is the science fiction of the steam age. Where conventional science fiction looks forward and asks "What will the future be like?" steampunk looks backward and asks "How might the Victorian Age have been different?" Though the genre of steampunk began as a subset of cyberpunk, weaving stories of advanced technology and dystopian society set during the 19th century, it was anticipated by the scientific romances of the late 19th and early 20th centuries." This description was taken from the Facebook page Steampunk, for which I'm a Fan of. If you're on Facebook and want to become a fan, type steampunk in the search bar.

Anyway, I've decided to try a few pieces of art featuring Steampunk Kitties. Already I've created a couple of pen paintings, and I purchased some clock parts and antique keys on eBay so that I can create a purse and treasure box. I'm having fun! Tell me what you think of my first art samples...

A Blogging I Will Go!

2010-04-11T22:23:00.000-07:00

Ah...6 months since I posted an entry on my blog and I'm finally catching up. I thought that by now I'd have a laptop to do these things in the evenings, including keeping my web site updated, but it's going to be a long time before I see a laptop. So here I am, finally, and I hope to keep up with my blog! I'm not that good of a writer so please excuse my non-newsy posts.

Hmmm..maybe this week I'll even redesign my blog...
