Heloo there, here I am (Friday night), in case you were looking at adopting a wee one. It took me all day to finish up the tiny faces, photograph them, and get them ready to find homes. As soon as I post this, I will begin the task of loading babes into my shop. Friday night, eeks 😉
I know, this is such a slow process. Which is usually why I don't say anything until the last minute ;) Alas, I thought I would finish sooner.
Did I mention that Mice and Birdling Mama's have entered my life?
With their babies…
Also cakeheads, to sweeten the day…
I also have a painting to share that I have been working on, for well, a long time.
I started it on that day in late spring, when I took my studio outside.
And then, I put her away. Not for any reason really, life just got busy.
I picked her back up a couple weeks ago, and finished her.
She has comforted me so.
With her bee…
Her Butterfly…
And her cake…
I am simply calling this piece.
The Party.
Because, for some reason, I think that this lass makes a party out of every single day…
So, those are some of the faces you will see if you pop on over to my shop tonight.
Also, here is a little roll up of all the faces that will be available.
Here is the link to my shop
🙂
Off I go…
ps: Friday night - I am adding them one by one, so if you happen to be here tonight, they will be going in rather slow 😉
UPDATE: It is Saturday morning, and all the babes have been adopted. Thank heavens, as they were all so nervous, wondering about who would get to fly off before the holidays :) Thank you over the moon in circles, for everyone who was here last night (and early this morning too). What a fun whirlwind of good vibes you all shared with me! Love, V
Vanessa…
See, I told you your twitter works. I was just over there, and I saw your new post link pop up! So…I came right over here from twitter to see all your new goodness!
I just adore the happy feeling of your work. I am so used to seeing lots of “dark art” here in the Los Angeles area. Your work is so refreshing!
I don’t know where you find the time to do all the fabulous “stuff” you do. Every day, you amaze me!

Dear Vanessa,
it is always such a thrill to visit your very pretty blog with all of your creative whimsy, photographed and written so wonderfully. Thanks for sharing. Your creations and your mind, always amaze me!!
You really do live in such an ‘enchanted place’.
what do you make them out of? do you fire them?
She is delightful! I’m glad you finished her.
I was too late to adopt one of your creatures.
🙁
Next time I guess!
🙂
Your painting is wonderful, me being a spring bday, I understand the bees sharing the cake, too. Such fun! Great little darlings too! Blessings friend.
Your painting is beautiful. The bee looks real. Wonderful.
Are the little critters and cake heads sold? I looked for them in the shop (maybe I over looked them).
Psssssst, everybody. TODAY (SAT.) IS VANESSA’S BDAY! Let’s all send some bday love to this most magical Fanciful Twistress whom we all adore! Sending hugsandhugsandhugsandhugsand hummingbirds and glitter and fairy sprinkles of gold dust upon your day, magical Miss V.!
(Another psssst. My Vanessa elfin collection began today. I barely managed to adopt a Sugar Plum Elfin Cottage before it was whisked away. : D
Beautiful painting, Vanessa! Your wee ones are so cute and I will visit your shop.
Gorgeous art! /Therese
Everything you’ve shown here is so magical and so very you, Vanessa! While I am a wee sad that I was in slumber land as they skipped and danced and giggled their way into your, shop, I am so excited that they have all been adopted and off to loving new homes. And I hope YOU have a magical day today. With lots of cake. And furry baby kisses. And lavish attention from Mr. Lovely. xoxo Theresa
I love your paintings so much! I buy the prints, but one day hope to get one of your originals!!! You put such heart and soul into your art!!! Teri

Your Cake Heads are absolutely amazing!! I am in Love. I will be sure to visit your shop as I avoid the crowds and prefer to gift by supporting talented artists like yourself! xo Happy Holidays Samantha
Happy Birthday Vanessa, I have been waiting all year to wish you one. Today is also My Birthday. Not many people have I met with our birthdate. I am a few years older than ye tho. Also I always sign my name V. but with a period after it. I do believe this will be a special new year, all the signs and portents have said. Listening to the south wind blow and watching the waves – there is a storm today and it is so beautiful. Great day for a birthday I say !! Happy birthday 12/11 sister 🖤
They are all so lovely!! 🙂 ~Lauren
The sky is full of colors to celebrate V.V.
Orange, mauve, golds swimming in blue tea.
I remember a moment a time or 2 ago
Watching a magical singing puppet show.
And then there was the girl who spoke to bees
And knowing her sister I really do believe.
Color finally landing and swiftly moving on,
I wish to you for your birthday the colors of dawn.
Love, cheers, and blessings to you Darling V.V.
Oh, I was away and I think I missed your birthday! How did that happen? I hope that your day was wonderful and magical in every way! All of your creations are beautiful Vanessa – such fun and spirit in all that you do…sending big birthday hugs across the ocean…I shall save you a piece of my birthday cake xxx
Ooooooh, I love the cake girl and all your little creatures 🙂
Someday I just have to own one (or two, or three) of your originals.
My heart fell a little bit…they’re already gone! But I LOVE their sweetness and I’m VERY happy for you! Hugs, my friend! Happy creating! 🖤
Vanessa…
Somehow, I missed your birthday. I don’t recall seeing a post about it! If I did forget, oh please….I hope you had the most happiest of happy birthdays ever!!

WAIT a minute. WHAT?
they are all adopted?
Pookie, you’re going to have to work faster! It takes a person more than 5 minutes to even click and view them all before they are gone!!!
you’re genius!
