Cats on cups

These cats on cups have already been sold (well, reserved for someone, and hopefully they will be on their way next week!), but if you like them, I could do them again for you. We could even have a chat about the colours you'd like.

Give me a shout through the 'convo's' at Timeless, my Etsy shop!

It all started with pebbles....

As I said in my previous blog, my Etsy adventure started off with pebbles. Though this Moonrock is not one of my first ones, it is one I am very proud of. I love the way it turned out.

I first painted the pebble in a silver paint, and then added blue to the background and finally painted the moon in different shades of blue. I decorated the pebble with some silver stars and that was it!

I love my moonrock and I would love for it to find a home as I think it deserves that. You can use it for decoration, or as a lovely paperweight.

Go and have a look at Timeless, my Etsy shop, for more pictures!

Welcome!

Welcome to my Timeless blog, where I will show you my finished products as well as talk about the creative process and wonderful wonderful Etsy where I have my own shop.

Before anything, I think I should introduce myself.

My name is Eveline, I'm a 33 year old Dutch woman living in England. Last summer I moved from Holland to the UK so I could live with boyfriend Tye.

In school Arts was never my favourite subject. Yeah I liked messing about with paints, but it was never 'good enough' according to my teachers. I did not have any sense of scale, I always messed up the horizon in my drawings and it just never turned out 'just like the example'. I dropped Arts as soon as I could. Writing was more my thing anyway.

Late last summer I stumbled across some websites on rock painting. I was inspired! I could do that! Well, maybe not the detailed animals, but I sure could give it a go and see how it would turn out!

And guess what, I loved it. I spent hours and hours painting pebbles I bought from a local gardencentre (rather than hunting for my own especially in the rain..) and before I knew it, I had too many to even know what to do with.

'Why don't you try and sell them?' Tye suggested. And that's when I found Etsy, a website where you can sell and buy handmade items. I put a few pebbles in my shop and the next morning Tye woke me up (he works nights) telling me I sold my elephant! I was shocked! In a very, very good way.

After that I sold some other pebbles and have now also started painting on wood, and terra cotta items. The terra cotta have not made it to my shop just yet, but I am planning on listing them very soon.

Please feel free to have a look at Timeless and let me know what you think!
