:: My Etsy Treasuries

Above is a brief slideshow of several of my past Etsy treasuries. I have only been saving certain lists since December 2006 so this is a very small representation of the 25 or so that I have done. It is an addictive activity!

Thanks to all of the wonderful artists and craftspeople within these groupings, 4 of the lists were chosen to be featured on the Etsy.com home page.

It is such an honor to be able to feature some of my favorite items, and sellers from the community we share.

:: Laced Wing Moth , Bleach Painting

This is the most recent addition to my bleached paintings. He was an attempt to copy a previous work for the client that owns my original "Virgin Tiger Moth".

It is indeed almost identical except for the upper set of wings which are more veined and laced inspiring his name.

The original 7" x 5" piece sold on 4.4.2007.

A limited edition run of prints in both 7" x 5" and 3.5" x 2.5" ACEO are available in my Etsy shop.

:: Skeletal Moth, Bleach Painting

This is the first in a series of winged insects I am currently working on. The series will be pure bleach painting with no other pen or ink additions to the works.

I have named my newly found species of Lepidoptera the Skeletal Moth because of the macabre faces that accidentally appeared in the wings. They are most prominent in the lower set of wings but it is fun to look around and find others as you turn him at different angles.

As I paint I see nothing but black paper with wet areas so it is very difficult to know what shapes are going to be created after the bleach dries and finishes its process. There are also small particles of rust embedded in areas from the metal I used to apply the bleach giving it an aged look.

The original piece is 10" x 8" and was sold on 3.30.2007

It is still available in limited edition runs of 25 in a full sized print

and as an ACEO (3.5" x 2.5")
