WINNER has been picked!

Its the afternoon of GIVEAWAY announcement - i almost forgot!

Had to do something special, how could I not?

After selecting delicious paper and penning each of your names...

I set out to find my assistant for the day

She was happily nibbbling the newly rakes greens

when I scattered the choices before her to see

She nosed and she nibbled then selected one for me...

and who is it?

IT's DEMIE!

Send me your address here

THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!!
i have enjoyed the "conversation" with you.

Last Call -Giveaway Tomorrow April 4th!

Thank you for lettting me see what you see

when i asked you to tell me

about my art

It has helped me narrow the scope

see the common thread that

define what i feel

in a collection of little black marks

called words.

Dancing lines

spiritual, dreamy

gentle, home, familiar

whimsical

folk tale, old world


You still have time to enter the GIVEAWAY! Lucky for you I am in the US hours behind!
For the gift of your comments, a handmade necklace can be yours!

with much gratitude,

Milady

Define: Your Art

Who am I according to the Cloud ?

I am in the midst of reviewing, reviving and reincarnating the way I project my art to the world.
Cyber - speaking.
Funny how hard it is to nail it down in tidy little keywords.
Funny how i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing! :)  I know what I am drawn to and what I feel. But labelling it? Whoa there horsey!
SO.....
If you please, I'd love to hear from YOU!

Here are some questions:

1. What strikes you most about my work?

2. Is there a name, title movement that you feel my work fits in? (e.g. folk, rustic, neo...etc...)

3. If you had to spout off 5 words to describe what you see here what would they be?

4. Make up a phrase!

Whoever comments will be entered into a random GIVEAWAY of a MILADY NECKLACE! winner may choose!
Drawing will be April 4th. So please...think it over !:) I value your thoughts.

Gift

Long overdue...and a big Thank You!

To Hi Happy Panda's Rachel, for taking the time to gush her gratitude for winning my Suprise Giveaway way back in November.  Rachel is one amazing photographer, mama documentary artist of life's adventures....you know, the kind of adventures peeking in windows, looking up in trees, exploring places and meeting people.  Her blog takes me travelling - just the way I like it, down the road less travelled.
She and her family are a delight and I am so happy she loves her prize.

BTW if you ever wonder where i've disappered to or would like to see wht makes milady tick...i am most likely feeding my soul on Pinterest
It is the greatest invention ever! I will never need a magazine again. Visual salvation. love it!

Jewels, Blues and Surprise GIVEAWAY!

Feeling alot like i want to be in this room lately. To be enveloped in a fairy tale cloak, warmed and secured

by magic only a few get to witness.  Wearing a long warm skirt, stitched by someone I love. A time before t.v. and bubble housing markets.  I want to fly away to this place.  Where traditions and fantasy still hold court. Where everyone gathers with lanterns at night and sings.


In my own little way...i've created a bit of that. May i introduce...Milady's Medallions.



Love



Sacred Heart charm bracelet



Ice Vine choker



Storm

Storm detail



Blueberry Pearl



And the suprise...my first kick ass belt!

(love it!)





In addition to ornaments, tea towels, art blocks and prints - i have now finally made some wearables. I've teamed up with a very talented friend who is making the lovely hand crocheted "chains" for some of my pendants.

Milady's Medallions

These are just a few of the combos. More coming to my ETSY SHOP. I am exhausting myself trying to make the photos look perfect - but you will never see them if I hold myself to that standard.

Here you go.

The surprise?

A chance to win a Milady Medallion necklace!!!

Name drawn on Black Friday - NOV 25th.

Comment. Critique. Tell me what you think. Spread the word! Tell me who sent you.

No brown nosing...winner will be picked randomly! :)

GOOD LUCK! xo milady
