Big Sur Wedding

Here are some of the best photos from my elopement wedding in Big Sur on February 27th, 2009.

Chinese Watercolor: Sweet Dreams and Nightmares

Tina and her Teddy

I finished this mixed media artwork!

Witchy art

This is my new art piece called "Witchy!"

I will list it on etsy shortly.

My store is fjonesart.etsy.com

I'm open to all offers. So write me if you are interested in buying this work.

I know there is a swine flu scare, but I am bravely financing a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico this fall. It has been a dream of mine to travel there on my own.

The witchy girl is made from pencil, colored pencil, acrylic paint, ink, paper, and buttons.

A wedding dress not for the faint of heart

This is a dress I got from etsy.com. A designer from Ohio made this for a wedding show. If you look carefully, you see that the bottom represents the dirt. There is grass, flowers, and the sky. Even the sun is represented here. I will wear this with juicy couture boots and a cowboy hat with a white veil.

I hope it makes it through a country cherry picking and a BBQ!

The menu? Cinnamon fried chicken with potato salad and apple stuffing.

Mint Julips and Pink Champagne drinks!

Isn't this dress the bee's knees? I want to own it!

The clothing at pinupgirl.com is too cute for words.

Mausoomi Max is such a pretty model that anything looks like a millon bucks on her.

CAMP OUT!

This artwork was really fun to make! I rescued a painting sitting in a sad corner from the Goodwill. It was a nicely painted nature scene with a super neat wooden frame. I altered it with some colorful buttons and painted a girl and some happy little yellow birds.

I'm calling it "Upcycled" art!

SKETCHES OF NATURE

These are some sketches I've done, with nature being the subject. I used charcoal on newsprint.

Wearable Art...Cloud Pins!

I created this little cloud pin when I needed something people "could wear" at the art fairs I participate in. I was tired of watching other vendors sell tons of trinkets.

I sell these along side paintings.

They are really fun to make.

Each cloud has her own personality.


The eyes are two French knots and the edges are hand stitched.

Want one? Go to fjonesat.etsy or message me here!

I even bought a knitted Japanese zombie doll. Too cute!
Need a Hello Kitty ring? E-T-S-Y.

California Edition Volkswagen 2009

I bought a new car. With the taxes rising April 1st in California, I picked up a sweet deal on a salsa red Jetta. It is a California Edition, which comes with butt warmers, a spoiler, and 17 inch alloy wheels. I love my car so much, I even gave her a name: Ketchup!

Alice and Wonderland Party at Royal T in Culver City

I had a great time attending the Royal T "Alice in Wonderland" party. The costumes were outrageous! I felt way under dressed.

I tried their Rose/Milk tea in the cafe. It rocks. It is like biting into a red,red rose with the thorns scraped off, dipped in sugar. It is served to you by french maids. Very fancy.

Best of all, I won the grand prize in a raffle "Another Alice" Pullip doll, in "Another Queen". The whole room gasped as I walked onstage to claim my kick-ass prize.

I'm going to have my own High Tea here next month. The VIP room is super sweet, with an awesomely huge white Murkami creature sitting over a victorian couch. I'm thinking of this as the sweet sixteen I never had.

First Post

Hello All.

This is my first attempt at a blog. So consider this a test.

I am going to talk about all the cool stuff I've done during the week.

The life of an artist is so exciting. I try to hit one or two museums per week. Scouting outdoor fairs and events is something else I do. I go to events that might give me some new ideas and inspiration.

I hope you find some entertainment here!

Sincerely,

Juliet Frances Jones
