Work In Progress: Pirate Proposal ACEO Sketch

International Talk Like a Pirate Day pillages the world next month on September 19th. The wheel in the sky has turned many times since I last sketched a pirate, so here one be for the occasion. It's been a year and a half since the Ogre proposed, and if you missed the story, I'd still sink ships for him. We will eventually walk the plank in a pirate-themed wedding, but for now are treasuring our engagement.

WIP Pirate Proposal

ACEO is inked with black Sakura Pigma Micron Pens onto Strathmore Smooth Bristol Paper and soon to be swaggering in Prismacolor pencils.

Sail to Sunday Sketches to see more art by creative souls.

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! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. 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. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. 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. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...

Giveaway: Snowflake Crystal Necklace by Dazzling Dezignz

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to the randomly chosen 35th commenter, Maegan Morin! Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? Even if December 25th comes and goes without a single cloud, one of you will hear merry news that snow is on the way. Elisa of Dazzling Dezignz is giving away a sparkly snowflake crystal necklace this winter season. The 20 mm snowflake crystal pendant is wire wrapped to a 6 mm black diamond Swarovski crystal bead. The black woven silk cord is 16 inches long with a 2 inch extender chain and closes with a bright silver lobster clasp. Elisa stays busy as a SAHM, but now that her two beautiful children are old enough to attend school, she has time to pursue her love of jewelry making. Her shop, Dazzling Dezignz, is aptly named - Elisa's crystal and gemstone jeweled accessories will dazzle the eyes! Her designs glitter with CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements, semi precious gemstones, Czech glass and many other glimmering elements. She has seve...
