Snippets by Linda O'Neill

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I am so excited to show you the new "Snippet" painting of Emmitt I just got from my talented friend, Linda O'Neill.

Linda has created a new form of art that are "Snippets" or cropped versions of her larger pieces to create all new art from a new perspective!

It is like her paintings are having cute little babies! :)

She mounts them on wonderful 1.5 deep canvases that are easy to hang and display anywhere.

I hung mine in my kitchen right next to my other beautiful painting done by my friend Manon Doyle.

They go together perfectly!

Please visit Linda's wonderful etsy shop, blog and website to see all of her work.

I know she would love to meet you and make you a "Snippet" of any of her paintings that you would like!

Life is Art... Art is Life!

I bought them on Etsy from a wonderful artist in Germany.

Her shop is called Maldimaglia.

You can get her dolls in 2 sizes and 4 colors! Black, Grey, White and Pink!

I got the small black and grey ones.

Aren't they adorable?

They sit perfectly on top of my pug rocking chair!

I love their little feet!

Black, White & Pink Pugs!

Included in my collection of pug art on my rocking chair are two small wool pillows from MyBonnie on Etsy.

I got them a couple of years ago and I just love them!

and the dolls perched upon them are ones I made from burlap about 6 years ago.

All of these pug dolls make me smile!

Needle Felting Snowman Class

Happy Monday everyone!

Emmitt and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

He is still stuffed from all the mini Turkey Meatloaves he made and is snoring away!

While the puggy was busy cooking a baking, Melanie and I snuck out and went to a needle felting class last week to learn to make holiday snowmen!

Aren't they fabulous!

We had so much fun!

Melanie found a vintage G alphabet block for hers to stand on and I found an M!

There were 8 women in the class and we spent the night giggling and making snowmen!

It was so much fun!

Here are our two little snowmen with a pair made by the ladies sitting next to us.

How fun!

I love making art and new friends at the same time!

What fun things do you have planned this week?
