After having my Custom Pop Art Pet Portrait Pendant Necklace featured in the Etsy blog, the Storque, a week and a half ago I've been swimming in custom pendants, and it's been wonderful. It's been incredibly fun seeing all the photos of people's pets.

Vote For Allover Art!

Etsy has put together a list of items featuring Spring flowers and is asking YOU to vote for YOUR favorite! I have been fortunate enough to be included in this collection, and would appreciate your vote. The top items will snag a spot in the Etsy gift guides.

My Springtime Scene Hand-Painted Art Pendant Necklace is the item from my shop that Etsy has chosen to include in this collection. The original miniature painting is created with high quality acrylic paints on a wooden tile. The painting is then sealed on every surface, and then receives a high-gloss resin finish which gives it a very polished look. The finished effect is similar to that of a heavy glass pendant, but it is actually very lightweight. The pendant features a large silver-plated aanraku bail securely fastened to the back, and comes with a black waxed cotton cord with a lobster claw clasp.

So please, vote for me here ----> VOTE!!

I would really appreciate it. Have a wonderful day! :)

What Do You Want To See Allover Art Create?

If you're an artist or artisan and you've never done an art and craft show, you should really try doing one! This past weekend I had a booth at Artsplosure 2009 in downtown Raleigh. Here's a big THANK YOU to all of you who stopped by to say 'hi'. :) The show was a HUGE success for me; well at least on Saturday. Sunday it was rainy, windy, and cold and after a few hours Indie and I packed up and left. About 2/3 of the other artists there did the same; it was miserable. Indie actually came along on Sunday and had a great time at his first show until we both started shivering.


Saturday at the show was PACKED even though there were four sudden downpours. I apologize again to the woman who got soaked when a breeze dumped the water that had pooled on my awning square in her face. I sold half my inventory and now have a large number of custom orders to complete. My Etsy shop is looking a little depleted and sad with so many listings gone.


Allover Art needs your help! Since half of my inventory found new homes on Saturday, I'm working like mad to build it back up, and I want to hear what you want. What do you want to see Allover Art create? I'll be creating the usual items - rings, pendants, brooches, bobby pins, and now earrings - but I want to know what colors you want to see, what designs, what subjects, what words? Let me have it! :) I value your opinion.

May Giveaway!

It's that time again; giveaway time! This month's giveaway runs from Saturday, May 16th to Saturday, May 23rd at 11:59pm EST. One winner will be chosen. The prize this time is a hand-painted pendant and cord! The pendant can be seen below; it's an eye-catching 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) circle fine art pendant with a resin finish on a black waxed cotton cord. This tiny acrylic painting features the words 'I' and 'handmade' in white with a red heart in between them, all on a light purple background. The piece is unique and one-of-a-kind, so when you are wearing an Allover Art piece, you know that you are the only one in the world wearing it.

New Pet Portrait Pendant

Meet Puddles; an adorable photogenic cat who has now been immortalized in a pendant.

Puddles has been recreated in this original miniature painting which was done with high quality acrylic paints on a wooden tile. The painting was then sealed on every surface, and then received a high-gloss resin finish which gives it a very polished look. The finished effect is similar to that of a heavy glass pendant, but it is actually very lightweight. The pendant features a medium silver-plated aanraku bail securely fastened to the back, and comes with an 18 inch (45.72 cm) beige Chinese silk cord with a lobster claw clasp.

I LOVE doing these pet portrait pendants! Being an animal-lover and owner of two rescue dogs myself, it brings me great joy to create something of such meaning for another.

If you're interested in commissioning your own pet portrait pendant, you can find them here. Have a wonderful day.

New Wearable Art!

This afternoon and throughout the week I'll be listing brand new wearable art. I will finally have several new bird silhouette art pendants. The bird silhouette pendants are some of my more popular designs, and I am excited to have several new pieces to list. In the past I've only made one or two with each batch of new wearable art and they always sell very quickly or get requested to be shipped with consignment orders. The last time I listed one it sold within 15 minutes of listing. Some pieces may be similar but no two are exactly the same. The new pieces will be listed in several new colors. Here are a few examples of previous pieces:

Bird On Branches

Bird Silhouette

Bird Silhouette

I've also created a brand new size of wearable art rings! The new rings will feature 0.75 inch diameter miniature circle paintings. Some of these new pieces will feature tiny bird silhouettes, trees, dog and cat silhouettes, my cosmic design, and much more. Right now I have larger rings available in my shop like these:

1 inch diameter ring
1.5 inch diameter ring

The new size will be smaller than those already existing in my shop, and will make a more subtle statement than the larger ones. Over the next few days there should be a ring just right for everyone in my shop. ;)

Please be sure to check out the shop this afternoon and over the next few days to snag yourself one of the new pieces before someone else does. As always, please feel free to convo me in my Etsy shop or email me if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day!
