"The Guardian of Cordelia's Swan Song" ~

Cordelia loved to dance.  Her days were filled with steps and turns and her nights were filled with dancing dreams.  She was so happy, simply happy, while she danced ~

But she knew, deep down inside, she knew that her days were numbered and her dance would end.  An ending that should never have been, yet it was a perfect Swan Song.

....and now ~ she rests.  ♥♥

The End.

You can find the original Dancing Cordelia in my shop.  Just click right here.  And of course, prints will follow soon!

Can a Gal Change Her Mind Twice In One Week?

Hello There:

Surprise!! (or not!), I've decided to list another original watercolor / collage that I had intended on keeping. I must stop holding onto all these originals. I create them because they make me happy, but I also create them to make other people happy as well. So, I have just listed "Delilah's New Day" ~



If you would like to learn more about this piece, you can read all the details at Gerushia's Big Cartel store.

I triple dog promise that I'll be back soon with a fun, non-marketing blog post!!

Have a fabulously sunny day:

A New Piece For Gerushia's New Shop.

Hello ~

So nice to see you today. I truly hope you are having a lovely, sunny day. From what I can see out my picture window, it appears to be a delicious day outdoors ~ but alas~ I haven't once tippy-toed outside yet today, as I have been at the computer, adding the finishing touches to Gerushia's new Big Cartel Shop. I believe it's finally ready to go. Would you like to have a peek? Oh....Please do! Will you click HERE? Gerushia and I would both adore it if you would have a look and leave us a comment.

Included in Gerushia's new Big Cartel shop will be a brand new print, just finished last night entitled: "The Temporary Hat" ~



(Will you have a look at Mr. Hackendasham's new hat? It's temporary, really! Of course, Mr. Hackendasham already has a fabulous hat of his own, but every now and again, we all need to wear an orange party hat, yes?).

This new watercolor / collage print will only be listed in the Big Cartel shop, and will not be included in Gerushia's Etsy inventory. I haven't listed the original yet, as I am not sure that I will let it go. I rather like it.

Oh...wouldn't it be good fun to step inside the world of "The Temporary Hat"? I just know Mr. Hackendasham and all of his New World pals would make the most fabulous friends. When I finish a piece, the first thought that comes to my mind is ~ I wonder what the world inside the canvas would smell like? To me, the world of The Temporary Hat smells of peaches and damp leaves.

Delilah's New Day.

What fun I had yesterday, playing in my studio with Delilah. She's so sweet and spotted and extra, extra large. Delilah is a Great Dane...



She belongs to my very dear and very old friend (pre-kindergarten friend) Debbie. Oh, Delilah wasn't REALLY in my studio, but I played with her photo all day long. I introduced her to a curious Rabbit, dressed her in a new orange hat and created an all around new day for her..."Delilah's New Day" ~



I just adore playing with bits and pieces of paper body parts....creating new worlds, new friends, new days. Oh, wouldn't it be lovely to walk right into a new world and make friends with the likes of Delilah in her new orange hat...to have tea with a curious Rabbit? In my dreams...I have met them all~

"Delilah's New Day" has just been listed in Gerushia's Etsy Shop. AND...for the rest of the week, this new piece will be included in the BOGO sale. Buy any print 4" x 6" or larger and get another print (your choice) for free.

Delilah and her Rabbit pal are ever so excited for you to spend the day with them...to spend a NEW day together.

Until Next Time:
Kim

Eula's Party

I adore parties. Eula is having a very special party and she's invited me to join her. Would you like to come along?



Eula is the little girl on the left with the short blonde hair. The pretty dark haired girl on the right is Marvie (who later married Loyd, who was married to Gerushia before she passed away). They were sisters and they were my aunts. This photo was taken in the Fall of 1919. Aren't they the cutest little country girls?



You can find this newly listed original in Gerushia's New World on Etsy.

Thanks for having a look.
