3 little ducklings - ink sketch on 100+ year old paper




3 of the cutest little baby ducklings on 100+ year old ledger paper with copperplate handwriting on it - my original art. I'm loving doing these. :)
They were in a country store nearby (Rainey's in Sam's Valley). The black background is just for display purposes.

Bunny rabbit fun! Original art.




Just listed on etsy (handmade online selling site).
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36831359

A very unique, one-of-a-kind artwork. A great conversation piece.

A book out of a handwritten ledger book - this page is dated 1905 and has accounting details on it in copperplate handwritten script. Torn edge where I tore it out of the ledger. And the bottom is cut fairly straight across, making size approx 10.25 x 8" (SFA). I've printed a scroll of flowers (the ONLY thing printed) in pink.

Then I've sketched (HAND-DRAWN) a cute black and white rabbit on it, in ink pen.

The old book page is heavier than typing paper, and is 'as is' - in line with being over 100 years old - some of its condition is slight discoloration.

Art Prints / Posters of this are available on Zazzle @ http://www.zazzle.com/artistjillian* - there may also be other gift items, cards, etc with this image on them also.

My latest artwork - my first acrylic horse painting.


This original acrylic horse painting I did last night is now listed on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290380157555 I've also included a gallery of my horse paintings, seems I'm doing a lot of horses, don't know why. Though this is my first acrylic, the others have been watercolor.
It's an ACEO - 2.5x3.5" on Canson canva-paper.

Zazzle Christmas Special - 60% off art prints/posters



Today's special on Zazzle is for 60% off art prints and posters.

To celebrate I created a triptych (set 3) posters of my first series of alphabet ACEOs - all made using a book from the 1800s. This special is almost like buying one, and getting the other 2 free.

Would look really great framed and hanging as a set.

Binder for ACEO collections - my design!



Just created my first binder for sale on Zazzle.
Of course it HAD to be for ACEO collections (just add trading card sleeves).
I used images of my original ACEO collage alphabet series images, so HAD to call it A-Z.

Need something to store your ACEOs in?
