The Lord of Rings: Hobbit door in progress.... (Sketch)

Lately, I've been working on Samwise Gamgee's hobbit door and it's been a challenge so far from the yellow paint not being too bright enough and need to try something else. I honestly had more of a thought out plan than this one and will take longer than I hope this weekend after finally getting started on it. Here's a sketch of what the door looked like before I started painting it tonight and will be making it different than the picture:

A work in progress of Celtic shield painting..

I've been working on a Celtic shield all night and it's past my bedtime. Here's an almost finished painting and some drawings from the start of it. Once I'm done, this shield will be added to "The Legacy" series collection. My plan is to make more of these shields in different cultural designs.

Etsy shop logo sketches and ideas...

These are just an idea on what I have in mind with sketches and materials I found online. I still need to come up with a final title for my Etsy shop that needs to go together with all of my artworks and creations to make it theme related somehow. The owl with a knight helmet was an idea so far, but have been changing my mind about it from having different title ideas in my head and "Knight Owl" has been taken already. I was going to do a fairytale title, but again it wouldn't go with the variety of fantasy and modern art I will be posting in my shop. If anyone has any ideas, please just let me know in the comments, or on my Facebook art page.

*New* Once Upon a Time Pendant Dolls © Collection

ABC Studios © 

As an new addition to my paintings collection, I just started making some "Once Upon a Time" figurine dolls after the hit ABC tv series and calling the range, "Pendant dolls" from it being petite with an acrylic clear rhinestone in the middle in every doll. They stand about 3 1/2" in. (9 cm) tall. Right now, I'm working on The Charmings family with Snow White, Emma Swan, and Henry Mills so far. Prince Charming will be next and has been added to the collection now.  I will be making the entire cast, so I'll be updating this with new characters that are made until the final last Once character. They will all be standing on a platform individually with a symbol to represent them like an apple for Snow, Swan necklace for Emma, Book for Henry, etc.

My dolls are all made out of 100% wooden clothes pins that I just recycled. I'm thinking about selling them on etsy.com.

Here's what I have so far close to being finished: Go to my Facebook page for more updates:
