Reached My Goal!!! And With Open Arms!

This has been a glorious day for me, my goal for the end of the 2008 was to reach 400 sales. Today it happened, I made front page and then BAMMMMM! Made it to 403. My 400th customer bought my Robin's Egg Drops, these are the cutest earrings ever, I am planning on making a little something special, possibly a nice necklace to go. Looking back at my stats last year, in 2007 I had 53 sales, I sky rocketed this year with 350 sales and counting. I wanted to thank everyone for the support and stopping by Red Heart 13, I couldn't do it without you all!

I am truly excited about 2009, I have some planning to do, here is a little secret for you though, you should look forward to three special months in 2009. Every Friday the 13th I will be having a sale in my shop; more to come on the details. You can find all the latest updates and promotion news at the Heart Chronicles and my twitter.

You can also look forward to more relics from my Sweet Heart Collection and new featured artists in association to the Red Heart Cult. I am in the currently looking for inspiration, so if you have any in mind please pass them my way. I am in the works of having a theme for February, but March will be our third annual Medical Madness theme. Everyone stay tuned, and I am with open arms for 2009. I can only imagine what is in store for next year.

The Skeleton Krew is Back!

SK no.0017, antique cabinet card painted with gouache and signed / numbered on the back.

We have two new unveilings from my Skeleton Krew Collection: The Backbone to the Dead. These macabre family portraits are finally back!

Skeleton Krew portrait no.0017 is surely sweet with a twist of madness. What is behind this child's eyes? This lovely little girl stares at the viewer, and is painted with black gouache. There are no markings on the back of this photo but I believe it is circa early 1900s. You can purchase this portrait at Red Heart 13. Take home a part of this collection!

This lonely boy reminded me of Damien from the Omen, so innocent yet there is evil behind those eyes, or was his soul lost in a tragic accident. Stare into his piercing eyes and imagine how he lived in the 1800s. Did he have a brother or maybe a twin? SK no.0018 will be arriving in my shop in a week or so, I am in search of a odd frame to put him in. If you would like to reserve this portrait, please feel free to contact me and I can put him on hold. 

Skeleton Krew portrait no.0018, antique photo 3.5" w x 5" h, gouache paint.

I love doing these portraits, and often never want to let them go. I wonder how these people once lived, are they still living or have they passed on to another dimension in which they try to connect with us by these little pieces of evidence from their lives.

The Dark Duchess

 

The past two months have been wonderful for me, I had my first art show back in September, it went off very well and everyone was so supportive. I ended up selling two necklaces,  a shadow box called Armored Saint and two tiny brass box relics. I came back even stronger for my second art show in October. Over 130 people came out to see my work along with two other brilliant artists. Having more assemblages and relics I was very successful and featured new work, I sold the Two Hearts, Two Souls collage, Vampire in the Dark painting and had a commission for a for a custom Skeleton Krew portrait like the one featured below. I can't wait to have another art show, while in Salem last week I picked up some new portraits to add to my Skeleton Krew collection. I look forward to creating new works and have been feeling inspired lately, all I need now, is time.

Sally Mae, finally completed! Gouache on antique photo in wooden frame, aprox 2.5' x 3.5'.

SOLD Vampire in the Dark, gouache on board in oval frame.

SOLD Two Hearts, Two Souls collage of original anatomical hearts in antique oval brass frames with glass.
