Flying Monkey ACEO Bookmark

I drew this devious flying monkey a few years ago as a minion for my Ogre. He hasn't been available as a bookmark in the past because he growled ferociously when I tried to stuff him into the standard skinny format. However, I've been seeing more and more artists create bookmarks in ACEO size. I approached him again this week, inspired by brown week over at the Summer of Color.

I went prepared with a banana split bribe to keep his fang busy while he was cloned, laminated, and adorned with a decorative yarn. Don't make me sic my flying monkey on you - go give his ACEO bookmark some handmade love on Etsy.

    He is really adorable and does not look vicious at all, but then again looks can be deceiving.

    He looks really sweet, but monkeys always get up to monkey business! Valerie

    He's adorable--and I don't normally like monkeys because... they throw poop and stuff.

    He looks a bit cunning to me, as if he is hatching a plot. Fabulous character and drawing. Love it.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy!

Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves.

Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand.
