self-portrait

My version of a self-portrait. I don't like the nose - but I left it as is, because it is a first attempt. I used watercolour pencils for the background - I liked the effect.

My husband thinks this looks like Cindy-Lou Who from the Grinch who stole Christmas. Whoever it is, she certainly is not impressed...what do you think has offended her?

My pirate name is:


Mad Ethel Cash



Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!

This was also drawn by my 13 year old daughter...probably my favourite of all her faerie drawings. I will be helping her put her own blog together so that she can post all of these wonderful sketches!

Hope Angel


Hope Angel, originally uploaded by sapphire252.

This is an angel that I am sending out to a lady who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am doing this through the GUARDIAN ANGEL PROGRAM. This is a simple program that was created to so that artists could share their talents to uplift the spirits of others. The angels are requested by the family and friends of those who could use some comfort or a smile.

I went for drama with this one...although she may look a little spooky....if she opened her mouth, I wonder if she would have fangs?

Red Head

I like to think of her as a shampoo commercial in the making....
