Inspire Me Thursday – Handmade Gifts
This week’s topic over at Inspire Me Thursday is Handmade Gifts. Perfect for this time of year!
My contribution is these wearable art pendants I have just listed on Etsy. I think they would make wonderful Christmas gifts:
And if you’re looking for a beautiful jewellery box to give the pendant in, one of my keepsake boxes would be perfect! This picture really doesn’t do them justice – they look much nicer in real life.
I have ordered a new shipment of boxes which I’m told will arrive before Christmas. Some styles of the boxes actually sold out last time before I even picked the order up from the post office. So if you’re interested in a particular style, please let me know asap and I’ll put one aside for you!
These are the designs coming in the next order – if there’s another painting you’d like to see on a keepsake box, let me know and I’ll put it in the next order:
One last thing – I’ll be drawing the winner of the giveaway later today – so if you’re interested in entering, please do so soon!
Friday Favourites – Silver White Winter
I know it’s not quite Friday yet, but I thought I’d post my Friday Favourites now as I don’t know if I’ll get a chance tomorrow.
This week’s selection is inspired by this painting:
It’s actually stinking hot here right now, so I’m a little envious of my northern-hemisphere friends and their white winters 🙂 To get me into a cooler frame of mind, I’m featuring beautiful items in blue, white and silver.
First up this week is this sterling silver necklace with interchangeable amazonite and pearl pendants, by Emily Wiser Jewellery. I love that you can wear just the white or just the blue pendant, but I think they look great together.
You may have noticed that I am very taken with swirls, and they feature heavily in my artwork. Bearing that in mind, I’m sure it isn’t difficult to guess what caught my eye about this beautiful necklace, titled “Romantic Getaway” by Beach Glass Gone Wild!
The next blue and white beauty on my list is this gorgeous vintage vanity fair robe in periwinkle blue, from Fine Vintage Apparel. It’s just too pretty for words!
This Silver Snowflake necklace from Inbal Jewelry and Design is just lovely. It would make a lovely addition to a winter outfit, but I think it is so pretty I’d wear it all year round.
Last, but most definitely not least, is this stunning card featuring artwork titled “Buckwheat Branches” by IsabellaFlora. The card is blank inside so it could be given for any occasion – it’s just beautiful!
Inspire Me Thursday – Handmade Holidays
Christmas is sneaking up on us once again!
We put our Christmas tree up this weekend, and I’ve started thinking about Christmas cards.
Last year I painted a Christmas picture and used the image to make my cards:
I’ve finally gotten around to painting something for this year’s cards. Its a bit different to last years, but I hope people will like it all the same. I’m going to get the prints made up sometime tomorrow and I’ll post a picture of the cards when I’ve made them.
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway if you haven’t already done so!
Friday Favourites – Rainbow!
It’s Friday again (Hurrah!!), so that means another edition of my Friday Favourites.
This week’s selection is inspired by my most recent painting, ‘Colours of Nature’
I’ve picked out something in each of the rainbow colours of this picture.
My favourite RED item is this beautiful red pearl necklace from Fine Heart. It would be perfect to go with that red Christmas Day dress, don’t you think?
My favourite ORANGE item is this signed art card print titled “Alone at the End of the Day” by Fine Art Prints by Amy Giacomelli and Natalia Skye. I love the colours and think the birds are just so cute!
Now, I have to admit, YELLOW is not my favourite colour. In fact I didn’t have any yellow items in my favourites list! I went on a yellow things search and was immediately taken by these beautiful ‘love knot’ earrings by Wing by Sea. The citrine stone is lovely.
My favourite GREEN item is this wonderful original watercolour entitled “Listening In” by Ali Herrmann. I love the beautiful soft green she has used.
I just love BLUE, and have a lot of blue things in my favourites list (as you can see from my last edition of Friday Favourites!). My favourite blue thing this week is this stunning pair of earrings in blue and silver by Chaton Designs. They are such a pretty shade of blue and are on sale at the moment too!
Last, but definitely not least, is PURPLE. I am just loving everything purple at the moment, but especially this pair of earrings entitled “Magenta Tears” by LunarBelle. They are such a gorgeous colour and I think they’re very elegant.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my rainbow edition of Friday Favourites! As always, please check out the other items these wonderful sellers have on offer.
Don’t forget, I am hosting a giveaway of a $25 gift voucher, to be drawn on the 12th of December. Grab your entry now – you never know your luck! 😀

Inspire Me Thursday – Labels
Well, it’s been a hectic week, but I’ve finally gotten around to putting up something for this week’s Inspire Me Thursday. I was lucky this week in that the topic fitted in well with something I had to do anyway – make labels for the wearable art pendants I was finishing for a custom order.
These labels are made with prints of my watercolour artworks. They feature the name of the pendant (each pendant is titled and signed on the back) and state that the pendant is handpainted (makes a nice touch when giving the pendants as a gift).
I hope the recipient likes them!
In other news, I am thrilled that my Silver White Winter painting was chosen for Timothy Adam Designs’ Etsy Top 10! Check it out – the other items in the Top 10 are well worth looking at as well.
Inspire Me Thursday – Tree: Take 3
Yes, I have even more trees!
This painting was inspired by one of my favourite quotes:
“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”
~Albert Camus~
In other news, I have posted my first fan special on my KL Bailey Art Facebook Fan Page. If you’re not already a Fan, become one today – I will be posting weekly specials on paintings!!
Inspire Me Thursday: Tree – Take 2
This week’s inpsiration topic over at Inspire Me Thursday is “Tree”. Well, I love trees too much to just stop at one!
I’ve actually done several tree paintings this weekend but I thought I’d space them out a bit.
This one is called “Silver White Winter”. I did the silver detailing with glass paint. It keeps its shine and gives the painting a textured feel.
It’s a weird painting to do at this time of year, as it was stinking hot here today, but I am listing it in my Etsy shop and hoping that it’ll be picked for a winter feature, as it is winter in the northern hemisphere where most Etsy buyers are from!
More trees to come, so stay tuned!!
