Some Fresh Changes for 2026

Posted in Peeking Behind the Easel, and Peeking Behind the Seam

Happy New Year! Hope everyone is well and enjoying life! I”ve been working on some tweaks and upgrades here.

First news is I have removed free ship on my Etsy shops. The good news for you is I have also dropped my prices.

Shipping has increased every year and even 2x a year. Free shipping is added into the cost of each product, which each time the shipping goes up, so does my product price. I am not happy with how this is working for my customers, and it’s making my products uncompetitive and over priced. So 2026 brings a better way. I have lowered my prices on most items. And while there is a shipping fee now, I think it will be minimum with the lower pricing.

Second news, while I am still happily running my Etsy shops, I have finally loaded my sewing products into my Shopify store. I have had the painting there for a bit. Now my sewing is loading as we speak. I will be adding them into the visible part of the shop over the next few weeks. This will give me some freedom to add some new products without making my Etsy shops look like a mess, & accommodate those customers who don’t like shopping Etsy.

So you will have 2 places to shop now! My Etsy shops and my new online shopify shop: Sibstudioartsewing.com . I will be adding this shop to the header here shortly.

And as a new year begins, I have oodles of ideas for new paintings, new bags & purses, and lots more! Enjoy the rest of your day and stop by again for updates as I create and make one of a kind product!

Fuchsia Gladiolus Painting

Posted in Uncategorized

Hello again! Hope you are all well as I get my blog back on track! My latest painting is a beautiful stalk of dark fuchsia gladiolus.

Purple gladiolus

My inspiration for this painting is the tall stalks of beautiful gladiolus in a neighbor’s yard. I love watching the buds unroll into tall, full, ruffly flowers. I painted these beauties as a fully unrolled stalks in all their magnificant glory. 

I used mixes of purples, red-violet, blues, and greens with touches of yellow and cream for the highlights. The dark black-green background helps to pop the colors of the flowers and give the painting depth. 

I painted these glads on a 8 x 16 inches gallery wrapped canvas. This size canvas is very popular with my buyers. It’s the perfect size to add a little original artwork to your home or office. This original acrylic painting can be found on my etsy shop: SibStudio

Thank you for stopping by! I will be posting regularly and keep you up to date on both by art and my sewing.
