Lucy and Other Treats

It is Monday again, and I have spent several hours this weekend creating, while getting over this horrible virus that I had. Along with 11 new jewelry pieces I have also finished a new painting from the Sweet Heart Collection. I thought I'd share my process with you and give you the scoop on some new arrivals coming this evening at Red Heart 13.

I introduce Lucy, she is based on the lovely Lucy Westenra from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Lucy Westenra, was Mina's best friend. Being a vivacious young woman, she fell under Dracula's spell, and turned into a vampire where she had banished her soul from the promise of eternal rest. In the end Van Helsing's crew hunts down the vampress she has become and slays her and returns Lucy's soul to her body and to heaven.

 

LEFT: This is Lucy in the second stage of painting. I picked her up in Salem, MA at this fabulous jumbled antique store. She was originally bw and had a very gray undertown, it was actually a journey to bring out her paleness, I had to eat away the film of gray that was on her face; but in the end the I left some of the film as her shadows around her neck, eyes and nose. The image to the RIGHT: is another portrait I picked up in Salem, this is the third session with this deathly lady. She is going to be added to my Skeleton Krew™ Collection once she is complete. I am still in the process of figuring out her hair, so hard.

I finished Lucy over the weekend and she is just marvelous, her eyes are so striking and is perfect for any bloody Valentine. She comes in an antique wooden frame with a gold border, glass and cute red bow at the top. She is now available at Red Heart 13.
