Artsy Fartsy Swap

Our most recent swap at Artsy Fartsy was an Artist Trading Card with the theme "Self Portrait".  I didn't want to give someone a project with a picture of myself on it - who would want that?  lol.  So I decided to think a little outside the box.  So here is my rendition of "Self Portrait".

The paper is by Graphic 45 from the Steampunk Debutante line.  I made the flower using Maya Road trim and then adhered a clock pendant to the center.  Pretty cool, huh?  I hope whomever gets this beauty will love it. 

Don't forget that you can follow me and all of my work on Facebook.  There's always networking and creative talk with old and new crafty friends at Ms. Ruin's Playthings!  Click on the image below to "LIKE" my page.

Drawing the Line

It makes me really giddy to know that I have established myself as a mixed media artist with the name Ms. Ruin.  There is only one Ms. Ruin in the world, and it's me.  ::huge smile::  I've gotta tell you, that name has kind of taken on a life of its own.  That's a good thing!  Although I don't aspire to make it big in this industry, I am humbled that so many people are interested in what I'm creating.  So if you want to keep up with Ms. Ruin on Facebook, please join my artist page!  I know I have a lot of readers here on blogspot but there's a whole lot of interaction going on at my Facebook page and I just opened shop two days ago!  Visit and LIKE Ms. Ruin's Playthings on Facebook...as in right now, please. 

With that said, I have been thinking that I am spreading myself too thin and in too many directions.  So yes, I will keep with Ms. Ruin in my mixed media and jewelry making, however, in my visual art I will solely be known as Sonia Hernandez Doneghue.  That is my real name --my social security card does not say Ms. Ruin.  LOL.  I promise.  So moving forward you will see "Photo by Sonia Hernandez Doneghue for Through These Eyes Visual Art" in photo credits.  That means I have a lot of images to update on Pinterest.  Something else to add to my to do list.  Does that list ever end?  :)

New Items have arrived!

I have a bunch of new playthings in my Etsy Shop that I know so many of you will like too.  Click on the pictures to view full details plus additional pictures of each item.  Thanks
