Beautiful ceramic works by Bertha at Heartside Gallery in Grand Rapids, MI.

 

New drawings

 

Nail paintings...

The nail painting I made last Saturday at Have Company. I will be painting nails at Sass Fest this Saturday.

I have been busy drawing, and hand-coloring many new etchings. Please email me at hilleryrebe@gmail.com with inquiries as they are not yet on Specks & Keepings, but they are for sale.

Along with working on new dolls (the printed ones shown above are collected & borrowed, they are not mine) I have been working on new etchings. I hope to print them all next week. I am very excited to see this project through. I began many months ago.

I was so pleased to see my My Lady & My Gentleman Dolls made exclusively for Unison in their beautiful holiday catalog. There is a nice feature on me in their blog as well.  

These dolls are small reminders of the men and women in our lives, as well as people from lands near and far united in labors of love and tradition. The subtle differences in each doll's features make them come to life. No two dolls are ever the same. 

A friend shared this beautiful gospel music.

Juicy mark-making and forms; paintings by Clare Grill.

Enjoyed the pattern and distortion in these paintings by Swedish artist, Olle Olsson Hagalund (1904-1972).

I had a wonderful artist stay with me this weekend and we painted nails.
