Society6 prints & paper sale

For those interested in prints, wrapping papers, and cards, I added a few new designs to my Society6 shop and most of my products are currently 50% off!

One of my newest prints is this pair of rabbits…

I didn’t add any new paper designs this year (time got away from me), but papers I designed in previous seasons are still available and are on sale for $10, which is 60% off the regular price.  You can find all of my wrapping paper designs HERE.  Society6 wrapping papers come in packs of five 20″ x 29″ sheets and are the perfect weight for wrapping presents or even using for craft projects and handmade gifts.  It’s thick so it doesn’t tear easily and isn’t see-through, but it’s not so thick that it won’t hold a nice fold.

I hope to add some more patterns this year.  I really love pattern design, but it always gets pushed to the back burner.  There are only so many hours in the day!

A couple of years ago, though, I realized a paper made from sketches in the antique George H Kitchin sketchbooks I acquired.  I love how this paper turned out.  You can find the cottage wrapping paper HERE.

This year, I did do a few Christmas/winter-themed oil paintings, so I added those as cards for this season.  You can find all of my card designs HERE.  I think this little tree is my favorite…

The fun thing about these paintings is the originals are small (5 x 7), so it forced me to be relaxed with my brush strokes, lending these paintings a more impressionist feel.

I hope to do more of these little Christmas studies while I have all the lights and decorations out this year, too.  Maybe we’ll even get a decent snow in our area so I can photograph some snowy barns, churches, and farms for future paintings…

You can find all of the products and more on Society6.com/missmustardseed.

  1. I found your beautiful Blog about a year ago and love your work and the many projects. I find it very inspiring. I love art and have started to draw and practice watercolor since my recent retirement. If I try one of your oil classes can I substitute acrylic paint without investing in a new set of supplies? I appreciate your help with this question. Thank you.

  2. I just got my prints from Society 6 and absolutely love them. I ordered 3 different prints and the beauty and quality is incredible. I love everything you do and having your art in my home brings me joy.
    Merry Christmas

custom cut plywood art panels

When I first started painting with oils, I bought a smattering of substrates to test.  I painted on stretched canvas and linen, canvas and linen panels, oil paper, and gesso board.  Over the years, I learned that I didn’t like the bounce and fragility of stretched canvas and linen.  I
