You never know where you might find inspiration for art. Keep your eyes open – inspiration is everywhere. These beauties were hanging out at my local grocery store!
They were so beautiful in a large clusters waiting for someone to take them home. I love their pastel pinks and perfect petals. I snapped their portrait for future paintings.
These are my newest bags, just finished this past week. They are the perfect mid size shoulder bag with a removable crossbody strap. 14 x 10.5 x 5 inches with 2 large exterior pockets.
The sophisticated tropical ferns in gray tone is a perfect bag for daytime into evenings. The black & white fern cotton canvas is paired with black faux leather. The handles and straps are riveted for sturdiness and beauty. A pretty black and silver zipper panel closure. Gray lining with a zipper pocket and large slip pocket inside the bag.
This fun lobster dinner bag is the perfect one of a kind bag for the lobster foodie. Outside is bright red lobster cotton fabric paired with black faux leather straps. The straps and handles are riveted for sturdiness and beauty. The matching crossbody strap is removable. Two large exterior pockets for easy storage of phones, keys, etc.
Inside is playful with red and white lobster dinner checks with red pockets. There is also a large zipper pocket .
Both of these bags are now listed on my SibStudioSewing shop on Etsy

These adorable small paintings come from a series of gnome sketches I was doing for a larger painting. They were so much fun to sketch! I thought they would be fun to paint as their own little portraits. And they were!
I may work on a whole series of little gnome portraits because you can never paint enough gnomes 🙂 I will post the larger painting when it is completed and ready to be listed on my shop.
The 1st painting is a January winter gnome who is ready for the cold & snow.
The 2nd painting is a Valentine gnome, ready for his big day next week.
I used acrylic paintings on 3 x 5 inches gallery wrapped canvases. Both are sealed with a coating of acrylic varnish. They have a little hook on the back for hanging or they can be set on a shelf or mantle. Both can be found on my SibStudio art shop on Etsy
