banners i have made in the last few weeks..., originally uploaded by jelene.

I've noticed a trend in colors lately that ppl request for custom banners... pinks, greens and baby blues. For a long time it was pink and chocolate, or baby blue and chocolate... I'm kinda glad that color trend is over!

When I'm browsing through etsy, I fave the items that inspire me... Below are some recent faves that I found.

This past week I was working on all those paintings to send to that gallery and also dealing with more back trouble, so I've been getting over that carefully. I leaned over to pick something up and I felt that dreaded pinching sensation in my back again a few days ago, and I also picked up my 2 year old nephew that weighs about 30 lbs. I was definitely feeling the pressure in my back again and it made me paranoid and it started making my back tense up. I went swimming yesterday, which helped a lot... and I've been using menthol back patches and my back massager. I also took a muscle relaxer last night, so today when I woke up, I felt drained.

But anyway, I'm getting off my main intention of this post... I was going through some fave items and thought I would share them here!

Look how cute these spool dollies are! Wunderkind.etsy.com

I think Tracey's work is so cool... the colors and the texture... Kitty107.etsy.com

This past week, I was busy getting together tons of paintings to send to a new gallery, called "Lola" in Roswell, GA. I discovered this gallery by way of another artist.. I was really happy when they contacted me back and said they would take some of my paintings. I had to hurry and get several minipops together, because they would be at a Folk Fest this weekend. I painted up 12 minipops in 2 days! My record amount of paintings is around 34 paintings in 2 days... I think my hand almost fell off after that, lol.

In an earlier blog entry, I posted all 12 minipops... below are the other paintings I sent to them. I will also be sending them some plush dolls that they will be selling in their store, not at the Folk Fest.

I sent a Tickles plush to Chief., originally uploaded by jelene.

This is my friend, Jenny's dog, Chief... I sent him a Tickles plush that squeaked, and he shreaded through it in about 2 mins!! He must had really liked it!! She called me and I could hear him squeaking the Tickles plush in the background...
