Happy Halloween

2011-07-18T15:16:00.000-07:00

I went into Hobby Lobby

and all of the Halloween "stuff"

is out.......at first I was appalled...

that turned into inspiration!

This is what happened after that!

These are all available in my Etsy shop.

Birds, Birds, Birds

2011-07-10T08:51:00.000-07:00

I feel like a caged bird!!

I work full time but just want to be home painting.....I don't want

to be a whiner because I am thankful for my job. But I do

long for the day when I can be a free bird.

Maybe that is why I went crazy on bird images and painted a bunch!

I do really love birds, especially Beaker my cockatiel.

These are available on my Etsy site.

The link is on the side panel.

I had a great time creating these images.

This is a new way for me to create original art and put

it in jewelry that will last a life time.

These are all originals!

It sure feels like fall in Michigan!! This is a pendant that is up for sale on my Etsy site.

You can go there by clicking the link on the left.

My pendants are limited editions and are signed and numbered.

I love making them and wearing them.

It is like having a little print around your neck!

They look great under the glass.

Have a great day!

2009-09-09T18:01:00.000-07:00

Good Evening........

I just wanted to put a few samples of my new pendants on for you to see.

I am having sosooo much fun making them

Each one starts as mini painting-either 1x1 inch or 7/8"x 1 & 7'8". I have a small edition of prints made-I am doing 50 of each of these. I set them under glass and sign and number them and then finish the back with a glaze. I think they look wonderful and they are so much fun to wear. I will be exhibiting in the Fire and Ice Festival this weekend down at Vantage Point if you would like to purchase one. Or just visit my web site. I have several loaded on there. www.mollieink.com .

I have some of them listed on Etsy too!

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Mollie

The dancing Librarian

2009-06-29T17:52:00.000-07:00

The Dancing Librarian!

This is my idea of what librarians do when the library is closed for the day.

They put on their slippers and dance while they

dust and put books away.

The mice are dancing along with her.

The little girl is hiding and watching the show.

This image is available on Zazzle.

Just click the link to the left and go to my Zazzle store where you can purchase designs on merchandise.

The Princess and the Pea!

I have been having some trouble sleeping.

Maybe its my age, maybe its just that my

mind wont shut down.

So much to do and the clock just ticks away.

Tick, tock, tick , tock.

The girl is ready for bed with her

pink sponge rollers and cat tucked in by her side.

The mouse has found the pea.

This image is for sale on eBay.

Swim Time

We have a pool.

We love to swim at our house.

This little girl is ready for swim time.

Mouse and cat are ready too.

Cat is really, really ready.

I hope we have a long, hot summer!

She lends a helping hat!

A hat full of birds

and an unhappy

cat!

This print is available on Etsy.

The original may go up for auction on Ebay.

I will have to do that tomorrow.

Today is almost done!

Have a good evening....

2009-06-16T17:26:00.000-07:00

It shouldn't hurt to be a child

This is a new image hot off the press for the local Child Abuse and Neglect Council.

Our daughter-in-law works there as a forensic investigator.

They are having their yearly fund raiser and I did this painting which will be auctioned off tomorrow at their dinner.

I uploaded it to zazzle where it can be purchased on tee shirts, totes, mugs and other products.

I will try to load in onto Etsy so it can be purchased as a print.

Makes a great gift for the social worker, teacher or any child advocate!

Happy Birthday to Katie (tomorrow)!

2009-04-10T02:50:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter!

It is starting to feel like spring.

The snow has finally melted!

We are supposed to have sunshine for three whole days.

I hope you have a wonderful relaxing weekend with your family and friends.

She give away smiles-collage original folk art

2009-03-31T17:08:00.001-07:00

Happy last day of March or first day of April!

This is my latest creation.

She gives away smiles..

Something we all can use!

Her body and head are collage on canvas.

Her arm is made from water color paper.

Her smiles are also made from water color paper and

attached to painted tooth picks.

The cat and her smiles are painted on.

The top and bottom border are scrap booking paper.

She is an original and time consuming creation.

I did smile when I was all finished though.

I just think it is a sweet and happy creation.

2009-03-28T14:05:00.000-07:00

I was sitting with a blank canvas in my hands and

my bird, Beaker on my shoulder.

She was giving me some loving by rubbing her head

on my cheek. This is one way a cockatiel shows

affection. At the same time the song "At Last"

was playing in the back ground. When the line "I found

a thrill to press my cheek to" came on-EUREKA!

That is how the creative process works for me.

I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did painting it!

She loves her garden

2009-03-24T16:56:00.000-07:00

This 6x8 canvas collage is available on eBay.

I did the original painting on canvas.

She is a print from that painting.

I hand stitched the words.

All on a gallery wrapped

canvas which is

painted and

antiqued.

Unique

and

fun

Happy St. Patty's Day!

This is a brand new piece.

Part collage, part embroidery, part original painting!

I am pleased with this new look!

Note the way the kitty is hanging below the canvas....

I think that looks neat!

FLORA

I love the look on her face-calm!

Holding a nice bouquet of flowers

Today is Sunday a day to be thankful for all

the wonderful things in our lives.

It is also the first day of March-YIPPEE

Spring will be here soon.....

The name of this painting

One Heart

It is available on Etsy

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6933829

The original was painted on canvas and

then I gave it an antique wash.

Looks great in a black frame

I am spending my Saturday loading new

products on Etsy.

I am nursing a bulging disc in my lower back

OUCH!!

How can anyone live with chronic pain?

I sure miss the little things..

Like being able to bend over!

Mermaid Kitty

2009-02-27T11:52:00.000-08:00

Mermaid Kitty

This is a collage painting. I painted the mermaid on paper and painted the canvas and cut out little flowers where ever I could find them and glued it all together. Then I sealed it all. She is available on Etsy.com under MollieInk. It is freezing and windy outside today but

this little painting reminds me that it will soon be bathing suit season and I should put down the Girl Scout cookies and walk on the treadmill.

Maybe I should eat the cookies while I am on the treadmill!!

Cupcake! Original folk art cat and girl by Mollie

2009-02-01T19:02:00.000-08:00

Where do the weekends go?

Why do they go so fast?

This little painting, which is a

6x8 gallery wrapped canvas,

is up for auction on eBay.

I need to add the new art to

Zazzel if I could just make

time stand still.

Have a great week

2009-01-29T18:11:00.000-08:00

Love One Another

I painted this little painting this evening

while Beaker, my bird, sat on my shoulder

and watched.

I guess I am feeling bad for all the people

that are losing their homes in these hard

times. Many pets are losing their homes too.

Lets make sure we all "Love One Another"

because you never know what kind

of burden or worries others may have.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mollie

Lazy Kitty

2009-01-27T18:26:00.001-08:00

This little painting (7x9) is available on eBay.

The face reminds me of a Holly Hobbie painting.

I love HH's work. She has been an influence on me.

I am getting faster at painting these little gems and can

almost get one done in an evening.

My goal is to produce 3 or 4 a week.

Some for eBay and prints for Etsy.

Well it is late....time to hit the hay!

We are getting yet another snow storm tonight.

YUCK!

Saturday

2009-01-24T03:32:00.000-08:00

I wish I had time for a trip to the library today.

I love to go to the library.

When I was a kid, my dad would drop me off there on

Saturday mornings while he did a few things in town...

we had a town back then.

I was safe there. We didn't have the worries we have today.

I would choose my books and sit in the window seat

on the second floor of the library waiting for dad.

I love to read but it seems every thing else eats up

my time. My free time is spent painting.

My goal this week-NO watching CNN.

Maybe I should go get a Nancy Drew book

and a bag of M&M's and curl up with a blanket!

Have a great day!!

2009-01-23T14:22:00.000-08:00

I hate the cold, cold days here in Michigan.

Just one more week and January is over! Whoopie!

I hope to get more of my work loaded onto Zazzle and then direct the traffic from my web site to Zazzle.

I will keep my work on Etsy and once

in a while on eBay.

So much to do and so little time.

Tonight will be spent with friends.....

Tomorrow will be spent with the computer and the washer and dryer!!

Stay warm.....Cuddle up!!

make custom gifts at Zazzle

2009-01-19T13:12:00.000-08:00

I had the day off today...that is from the place I go and put my 40 in. Soooo I spent the day learning how to work Zazzle (see the merchandise link above). Between this blog and Zazzle I really don't know if I even need my web site. I could keep that going and just sell original works of art on there. I think between Etsy, this blog and Zazzle it would be enough to keep myself busy.

Puss N Boots is another of my many, many reading related art works. This one was done on Bristol board with paint, ink and colored pencil. It is available on Zazzle printed on several products!

Sunday

2009-01-18T13:46:00.001-08:00

Today is Sunday.

We had a huge dump of snow so it was a great day to work on some new art and to

make some decisions about how to proceed. I was looking at Zazzle and Cafe Press. I am trying to decide on which one to use. I would love any suggestions if any of my artist friends have tried one or both of them please let me know your opinions. I will be adding one of them to this blog so that my work can be reproduced on products. I just want to choose the best one.

I am going to finish up three paintings and list them on eBay tonight or tomorrow.

Hopefully we wont get any more snow this week!

Fresh Start New Day

2009-01-17T03:40:00.000-08:00

Good Morning!

Today is a brand new day!

Yippee!

This it my first try at blogging. It took me forever just to get my web site going. Working puts a dent into my creative fun time. I just have to learn to sleep less!

This painting is on eBay.
