Melissa,
While I appreciate that you like my work, I do not sell any of my images. I make a living licensing my designs which are all copyrighted images. You can find images for sale on most vector sites that sell them but anything that is a design like mine usually is not for sale and is copyrighted work and I wouldn't use it without permission or it would be cause for legal action.
Good luck on your blog and search for an image!!
Thanks,
Ellen
New Prints
Mother and Daughter Birds. Mother and Son birds. Mother and little birds. These are some new prints you can purchase in my shop. I think they are perfect gifts for Mother's Day which is right around the corner! I myself never seem to get to enjoy the full day because I am always preparing f...
one day I will get to do fun stuff like this!
It's a Three Ring Circus...
It's a three ring circus ... This is what's currently in my hoops. Whatcha' got going in yours? Post it to our flickr group.
I beg to differ though on that one Andy- I know first hand of one popular person a company took on just for that reason but guess what- the line isn't selling!! Like we couldn't see that coming either- if you have no range you cannot sell goods period.
I am hoping now companies will see this as not a plus!
artist impostors!
This post has been brewing in my head for quite some time now, and after the day I had I finally have had enough and have to write it! I know that I am no Michelangelo and Rembrandt but I do pride myself that I have some talent and come from a family of artists ( my dad is a fine artist) and w...
thanks Amisha- yes I remember meeting you! I think the ladies should do another lunch or dinner to connect again. Its so nice to meet other creative ppl close to home- mostly its hard for me since I am in the burbs to meet other women who like to blog, create etc. Thanks for the kudos!
Follow your dreams!
So are you "Following your dreams" ? What are you doing today that you have dreamt about? Or are you still waiting to do what you wanted to do? Ever since I was young I always knew I would be an artist but as I grew older I came to define what that really means and what type of artist...
so darn cute!! I am curious did you do resin on your designs? I am thinking of trying to do some things like this myself. Thanks!

Two Friends!!!

the Eiffel Tower has special meaning for me because I got engaged on the top way back in 1993!! I am hoping to get back there someday soon!! I have many things that have the Eiffel tower in it or in 3-d like a charm on my bracelet to remind me of that special night!
Eiffel Tower, I love you
I know the Eiffel tower has been photographed a million times. All you have to do is sit across from it and have a picnic at sundown and you'll see constant flash bulbs going off, almost like the Paparzzi catching a celebrity in L.A.. I know it also might seem like a tourist trap. And in so...

Leslie we got hit too or rather I got hit bad for 2 yrs- so I now what you mean. Its not easy to see your savings and extras get taken away, infact it was a brutal year and still will be until Oct for me. I am just trying to look to the future instead of dwelling on how hard it is, just to keep me afloat!
thanks for all your wonderful comments everyone!

Woodland Friends II
Once apon a time there was a fabric collection called Woodland Friends which had wonderful hedgehogs and fauna, but they were sad because their other woodland friends could not be with them, so they made sure to include them in their next collection! Hello all...yes...

I love this quote I put on Twitter today.... Love is heaven but sometimes its hell!
Love is the answer
hey guys many things have happened since Carol and I went out and Tweeted and wrote about the infringement!! Don't worry Paula's people were on it that day and soon I can tell you what happened!
This is why the power of social media is super huge! Use it people!
Rip-off Rugs!
Okay folks here it is! I for the record want to say I love Paula Deen and her story is quite amazing, but when she signs her name to a product she needs or her people need to do their homework! Take this for example that came to my attention yesterday. The company Kaleen, who produces Paula De...
thanks Mary for your wonderful comment. Yes the rip-off from Kaleen was extremely disgusting and believe me they are in for it.. I would love to blog about some news I know about how Paula Deens people took care of it but can't yet!
I will always fight for what is right and never let those who try and benefit from others get away with it within reason! Since I would rather be a lover and not a fighter!
New Prints- The Fairies
Having a spot of tea.. Hanging with their bird friends.. In the garden with the flowers.. Do you think I have gone fairy crazy?? Well you might be surprised to know these fun new prints I created were for a potential program in a major retail chain..ahem.. ( Michaels) but they didn't ...
yes this sort of thing has got to stop! and Christine.. it happens allot I am afraid, but you have to be on top of it! Last year I found a product in Michaels stores that was the same one I did for Fred Meyer- I called them up and in this case they took care of it right away! Sometimes its the vendors overseas that sell these to stores not even thinking an artist owns the copyright to it!
