jasminetoad	5:20p	Jasmine's NEW Custom Painting Auction, ACEOs, #1 Canvases, FaerieCon.... Hi everyone! A quick update with some new artwork before I leave for FaerieCon! Most of my new original paintings I've done lately will debut at FaerieCon (some lovely ones - I'll show you when I get back home, and if you're at the show you'll get to see them first!!). But for now - I have a brand new original painting for you - since you've all been asking - another very special auction for one penny - a CUSTOM PAINTING - of a Faces of Faery - it'll be #46 - the winner of this auction gets to tell ME how to finish painting her! These are so much fun! In addition I have new ACEO Cards: one with a painting you've never seen before from Dragon*Con - "Alchemical Queen (Set of Three!)", "Owl Butterfly Triptych (Set of Three)," "Dragonling Garden I" and "Ghost of a Rose." And finally, I have some new #01 (FIRST in the edition) hand embellished Lt. Ed. Canvas prints - "Wolves of Venice," and "Angel with Ferrets" - and everything is up on eBay for a penny! All orders paid as of now will ship tomorrow before we leave. All others will ship after I return, November 10th. Please feel free to bid on all of my auctions - I'll be back home and ready to ship with little to no delay whatsoever! I'll have limited email access while I'm at the art show, so you'll probably hear from me once I get back home. Those coming to the show - details are up on the FaerieCon website - it's at the Hunt Valley Marriott in Baltimore, MD and I'll be at my booth all day every day of the show with TONS of art! For more info, visit: FaerieCon Info! First off is the new original painting - a CUSTOM Faces of Faery - this is the 46th in the series. The winning bidder will receive the painting in the photos, but first they will get to tell me the following: **Haircolour/Style (I can make it shorter, curly, add bangs, whatever you'd like) **Eye Colour, Makeup **Skintone, Freckles, Tattoos **Wings if you'd like me to fit some in (note the size & placement of the face on the panel, it'd be a hint of them or very small ones) **I could potentially add a bit of ornamentation like paint in a butterfly or flowers in her hair, earrings, leaves, something along those lines. Faces of Faery all feature beautiful faery-inspired creatures, and she is no exception. This big eyed beauty is to be painted just for you! After the auction ends, I will email you and YOU will tell ME how to finish her! It is on GALLERY STYLE CRADLED MASONITE - 6"x6" in size (like all Faces of Faery) - Matt has added a hanger on the back, so it is READY TO HANG! No frame needed! She's up on eBay starting at ONE PENNY for a 10-day auction ending the evening of Wednesday, November 11th at 5:57PM Central Time .

jasminetoad	8:00p	New Faces of Faery Originals from Jasmine & IMPORTANT FaerieCon/Ordering Info Hi everyone! I have TWO NEW ORIGINAL paintings for you and both start at just ONE PENNY on eBay! #42 & #43 in my "Faces of Faery" series (One with a candy theme!). Also I have some vacation ordering information regarding my upcoming absence while I'm at FaerieCon in Baltimore next week. AND also I wanted to give you a head's up that Ruby Dragonling (not me, but Ruby herself) is on Twitter, strangely enough! Firstly - FaerieCon! I'm going to be at FaerieCon next week. So yes - we're stopping all shipments this Monday. Since we're hauling all my art up to Baltimore for FaerieCon. What does this mean to you? Well, hopefully I'll be seeing you at FaerieCon, so it won't make a difference, hehe ;) But for the rest of you - just a few things - firstly, my eBay store items (those 1,200 non-auction listings for prints that are always there) are now in "vacation mode" - which means they have temporarily disappeared while we prepare to leave for the show. Don't worry, they will magically re-appear shortly before I get back home. If you have purchased anything recently or are planning on winning any of my auctions ending shortly - don't worry - if you get payment to me before this Sunday (November 1st) by Noon Eastern Time - (Paypal would work best, send to JasmineToad@aol.com ) - I can easily get your package shipped out before I leave. Otherwise - no hurry on payment - I will be back home soon - on the 10th - and can easily ship out your package after I get back home on Tuesday the 10th. Not a problem either way, whatever is easiest for you! GOOD NEWS - my current eBay auctions are not really affected by my absence in any way, you see the ones ending soon will be ending before I leave town (and those paid before noon Sunday will ship before I go), and the other ones (including all the new ones tonight!) will be ending once I'm back home here in Florida, or shortly before, so they will ship with little to no delay. So please - bid with confidence as usual on the auctions - any questions - ask me! And feel free in the meantime to order prints from www.strangeling.com =) For more info about FaerieCon including directions, etc. (It is November 6, 7 and 8th at the Hunt Valley Marriott!) click below: FaerieCon Official Website I'll be there each day, all day, at my giant booth full of art, merchandise, and other goodies. I'll pose for pics, chat about art, sign autographs, chat about art, give hugs, etc. too! I will be bringing NEAT stuff! Okay! The new original paintings....to see ALL of my currently available original paintings, including the new ones click below: Jasmine's Original Paintings Or individually - here is "Faces of Faery 44" - the 42nd in the series. Ready to hang - 2" deep cradled masonite as well - she (like ALL of my Faces of Faery) is 6"x6" an ORIGINAL acrylic painting. My Faces of Faery are all the same size & shape and look fantastic when displayed together with their sisters, if you are collector! Faces of Faery all feature beautiful faery-inspired creatures, and she is no exception. A luminous pink eyed beauty - she has peppermint candy swirling about her - matching her hair nicely (her natural colour, by the way!). And yes, to give everybody a chance, she is starting at just ONE PENNY! She's up for a 10-day auction ending the evening of Sunday, November 8th at 7:00 PM Central Time, and you can see her here: "Faces of Faery: 44" ORIGINAL PAINTING And - same size & shape of course - Faces of Faery #45 - this A violet eyed beauty - she has lovely green dragon-y wings and dark swirling hair.

happy_raincloud	10:50p	Buzzed! =oD I buzzed my head last weekend, and I LOVE EET. I'm so fuzzy! Both sides are the same, but the hair on top is so long that it covers one side. ( Two more. ) Also, feel free to snicker at this dorky YouTube clip of me semi-drunkenly "performing" Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden" at my co-worker's "Ultimate Lip Sync" party. A friend of mine secretly took this with his flip-cam and sent me the clip at work. =oP Current Mood: okay Current Music: South Park Halloween Episode Marathon on Comedy Central (22 Comments |Comment on this)
