last night i stayed up till the sun was shining & got so much done. it was fun. here are a few things i couldn't wait to share…
and speaking of painting… i've been doing so much of it and it's still my favorite!
**i have several more painting for pretty ladies in progress. they'll be shipping out early next week and, don't worry, i'll share peeks here. 🙂 these have been fun.
Awwe. James posted some pics of their home and these little gifts i made them…
i love this too…
i've been testing some new prints. these will be up in the shop soon (& some more)…
i love choosing the perfect colors.
you'd think i was getting really into knitting or crochet, but no (maybe someday)… it's embroidering with yarn. here's an example of a new painted/embroidered piece.
also, did a couple pages for my scrapbook last night. 2 pages in 40 minutes… not bad. i know it's not a race but…. i like to race.
hand cut self-adhesive foam…. here's the cute mess to prove it:
and this one says, " Sarah and Rachel make me feel not crazy and very very loved."
well, i do feel loved.
tonight i'm planning to draw-draw-draw. make some new goods for RVA and help Vanessa out with a little project. We are going to a wedding in KC this weekend (Congrats Ryan+Rachel!!). I'm excited to have a little bit of time with my boyfriend… we've been living on separate planets this week, it seems like. Love-Love-Love. Elsie
PS.
pps..promise to talk about tattoos next post. keep forgetting.

I LOVE the larger comic book painting… a canvas that size can be so overwhelming, breaking it into smaller pieces is a really good idea. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Looove the ginormous comic book painting!!! And I loooove everybody’s personalized paintings!!! I want one sooo badly!!!! One day I hope! Tell the economy to quit sucking and the hospitals and doctors to quit calling me, lol!! 😉 What an awesome post, Elsie! Love your scrapbooking pages too!!! And the yarn and painted girl??? Love it!!! Could I use the word “Love” anymore in this comment? Probably but I’ll stop now. =) xoxo

Wow, I really love the embroidery hoop mixed media painting with the yarn! I am an embroidery freak, so that caught my eye! <3 So cute!
The -Try alil kindness is wonderful – I really love that! I also think all your lil gal paintings are awesome – you’re really cool to make those for them! The red head who is embroidery is very awesome! I really love your blog and all the gals from Red Velvet Art!

I LOVE the comic style painting!! So cuute!
that makes me kinda sad that i moved away from provo this year.
the paint/embroidery combo is fantastic!
so many good things in this post! love the colours in “try a little kindness” and the lettering you did for the scrapbook page. yarn gets super addictive, doesn’t it? i have containers and containers of the stuff… and i’m always looking out for new colours and soft fibres. i tend to judge it based on how much i want to rub my face on it!
Wow I love the paintings Elsie and everything else. So inspiring. I got my order today and LOVE it. I’ll have to post some photos of what I got soon. Thanks so much.
I like this big comic-style painting 🙂 I think you should make a colorful one too, it would look great.
what kind of paint do you use?
I love it when you have new scrapbooks to share….and the paintings are GORGEOUS!xoxo Elisa from France
I’ll say it in French (why not?)
JE T’AIME ELSIE!!!
:))))
Are you kidding me?! I totally have the same “Try a little kindness” crewel work hanging in my abode! Dude. And it was in Almost Famous? Definitely didn’t know that either! haha Whadya know?!
I love the comic book painting idea.
And the embroidery paintings! I have an artist friend who has been doing something similar with string and canvas. Really neat.
Oh, I love your paintings!
I’m seacretly hoping to get one for my birthday.
that comic style painting is going to be so big!…i cant wait to see it when it’s finished
…it’s one of those paintings that each time you look at it, you’ll find something you hadn’t seen =)
