Happy Christmas in July! I have had such a wonderful month creating in my new studio (thanks to all of you!) that I wanted to do something special. So I'm having a special Christmas in July sale! I'm giving away free...(yes...you read that right) Giclee prints for the next 5 days! I finished the commissioned custom painting for the contest winner, Joyce from Baja California, Mexico. I'm still waiting to hear from her to see if she likes it. She wanted a version of the "Sun Goddess", so I created the "Sun Diva". What do you think? Click to see larger I think she's really fabulous and I wanted to make a giclee of the "Sun Diva" available for all my customers. So here's the scoop on my Christmas in July promotion: *Spend $50 and receive a free 8"x10" "Sun Diva" giclee print *Spend $100 and receive a free 11" x 14" "Sun Diva" and another print of your choice *Spend $150 and receive a free 11" x 14" "Sun Diva" and another print of your choice *Spend $200 and receive an 11" x 14 "Sun Diva" and two other prints of your choice and so on, and so on.....  Purchases can be made in the eBay store or at auction.

I have two drop dead gorgeous neckl aces. One is a pale blue shell and pearl necklace, and the other is a longer 25" garnet, chalcedony vintage patina brass necklace.

3 Weeks and Counting

		Monday, 07 May 07 - 11:45 AM (GMT -05:00) By Wyanne Thompson in My Life

 I can't believe I'm officially moving in 3 weeks!  I also can't believe the amount of stuff that I've accumulated over the years!  Packing is not fun.  But, every time that I get down over all the work, I just take a look at the view from my new house!  250 feet from the ocean!!!  This is the view from my balcony.

That fixes everything.  Back to work now.

Love,
Wy

Dreams Do Come True

		Tuesday, 10 April 07 - 09:23 PM (GMT -05:00) By Wyanne Thompson in My Life

Well...it's finally official!  I'm moving to Fernandina Beach, FL.  It wasn't quite a year ago when my brother took me there on vacation.  I fell in love with the area.  I couldn't figure out how my husband would be able to leave Atlanta, so I just mentioned to him that it would be a nice place for us to look at when we retire.  A few months later, my husband visited Fernandina, and fell in love also.  We decided that we needed a slower pace from Atlanta, and it was just right for us.  This past week, we went to look at homes there.  We didn't find the perfect house yet, but I did find the studio of my dreams.

Now, a few months ago, I practiced the manifestation techniques from "The Secret", also known as The Laws of Attraction.  I knew that I needed a studio space as large as the entire downstairs of my home currently.  I wanted it to be open with hardwood floors and huge windows.  I wanted it on the main street of the historic district of Fernandina.  Not only did that dream come true this past week, but everything else that I had always desired in a studio space was also there!  It is a dream come true.  Here are some pictures of it.

The best part of all is my landlord.  Now, I know folks don't usually rave about landlords.  But this one is different.  It turns out that she also used the techniques from "The Secret" to find the perfect tenant.  She's also an artist, who was originally from Atlanta and moved to Fernandina with her husband and two children.  Her artwork is incredible.  I am in awe of it.  But, best of all, she is a kindred spirit who I have become fast friends with. Check her work out at www.candacefasano.com.

Life is so good.

Logan is still sick....

		Thursday, 22 February 07 - 01:28 PM (GMT -05:00) By Wyanne Thompson in Mom,Wife & Artist

 Sorry that I haven't blogged much lately.  My five year old, Logan is still sick.  She has the flu which turned into Bronchitis.  She's been out of school for a week now.  The pediatrician put her on an antibiotic yesterday, so I think by tomorrow we should see a big improvement.  I'll keep you posted....

My Library

Well, it's been a busy couple of days.  My five year old Logan, is sick and I haven't had much sleep.  She's running a high fever and is feeling really lousy.  It's nothing serious, just a bad virus that we have to tough out. 

Meanwhile, I found this cool thing that allows you to catalog your books online and share them with others.  It's called LibraryThing.  It's an online service, and it's free for up to 200 books.  I added a sidebar to the blog below that shows the books that I like and recommend.  Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

		Wednesday, 14 February 07 - 08:10 PM (GMT -05:00) By Wyanne Thompson in New Work

I hope everyone is having a great one!  My 5 year old's handmade Valentine's were a big hit in her class.  She has been beaming with glee all day.  

In other news, the Wine Festival my husband founded was named 1 of the top 11 Wine Festivals by Grape magazine, put out by Publix.  His festival, Wine South is #11, but he made the list and I couldn't be prouder. 

I received some gorgeous purple Tulips for Valentines from my dear hubbie.  He knows they are my favorite flower.  Makes me wish for Spring even more.

And as promised...here's the latest pic of the new mixed media painting that I'm working on.  You can see that the seed beads are looking better.  And, I've added a door.

 

Yes, it opens and closes, and was made entirely by me.  Not an easy task...but it's going to lead to somewhere special.  Can't wait for it to be finished, so you can see it. 

Love to Everyone....Happy Valentine's Day!  Wyanne
