Hi Guys! I just completed this cute little 3" x 3" mixed media mini entitled 'Strands In A Web'. I absolutely adore creating these little minis - they are just so much fun to work on. And although they are tiny, just as much time and love go into painting them as I put into my larger works.

I personally find them as gorgeous as they are diminutive - they don't take up much room on the wall, but they have huge amounts of personality! Their small size makes them ideal for placing on a shelf, table or dresser and means they also look great in a collection with other mini paintings such as 'Remember What You Are' and 'Birds in Her Heart (I'll post about these soon and link to them here)...I love scattering them around the place in little groups and seeing them interact...
The card I use for these miniature paintings would otherwise have gone into the dustbin - I get them from a photographer friend who makes his own mounts and frames for his photography prints. He had previously always thrown these 'middles' in the trash...until he thought of me and wondered whether they'd be useful. That's a YES!
All of my paintings are signed and dated on the back unless the buyer requests otherwise. I like to leave orientation choices open to their collector, although they are always a certain 'way up' to me 😍
If you've fallen in love with this painting, you might be interested to know that I have made it available for sale in my store on Etsy. I'm also happy to sell direct - payment accepted via PayPal or, of course, in Steem!
I hope you've enjoyed this post. As an independent creative and unschooling Mama, sharing aspects of my life and work makes me feel more connected to other free thinkers and creative people in the World. My art, my creative endeavours and my life in general are my expression of the connectedness I feel to Life Itself. I am deeply committed to being an open and faithful channel for whatever message Life entrusts me with bringing into the World of Mankind. Your support, kind-ness, and appreciation of my always-original content are most welcome!
With love,
