Lovely Jewelry Prize from SadieAndLeo.Etsy.com

I had a lovely surprize come in the mail this week. I had participated in Tara Marchese's Know Modern Art? contest on her blog (http://sadieandleo.wordpress.com/) the other week. It was lots of fun, as I love modern art! I got all the artists right, so she sent me a lovely little package in the mail. She had packaged up a charm necklace, a cat's eye bobby-pin, and a lovely pair of white heart-shaped earrings all in a cute little wooden heart box. Thanks Tara!

New!! Custom Portraits

I am thrilled to announce that I have added a new product to Nikasha Designs today. I am now offering custom digital portraits, made to order from your photograph. I have been having so much fun making these, and I'm excited to offer them to the public. I can do people, as well as animals. If you want detailed info on the process, or pricing, you can find that in my Etsy profile here.

Etsy Treasury

I got a Treasury West on Etsy today. I filled it with ribs and ribcages. Perhaps it would have been more fitting before halloween, but oh well. Our bones exist year round, right? Click here to visit my treasury and look closer at the pieces included.

Miriam Makeba

No art posts today. I just wanted to post a tribute to Miriam Makeba- an incredible singer from South Africa. She had a heart attack following a concert Monday night, and passed away early yesterday morning. If you haven't heard her music before, you should, because it is amazing. Here are a couple of good articles where you can learn a little about her life as well.
