Okay, this is it -- a one time sale, once in a lifetime chance to own the last of the 2007 pieces all in one swoop with a special hand-drawn magnetic closure box to keep them safe in.

You will get every card pictured (twenty-seven cards), which does include the number one print sellers "Wildwood", "Even when I close my Eyes", and "Royalty", as well as the card that g the ACEO Magazine in Summer of last year "Elf and flowers".

Along with these, I will make you a pendant featuring your favourite of all of my ACEOs, not limited to this collection.

I've got to clear out my stock of cards, so I'm offering ALL of this for $150.

I MAY be willing to do a trade to off-set the price or a complete trade for something of equal value -- but I'm being kinda picky because these are all original cards. At $150, you're getting each card for $5.55... That doesn't even include the original art on the box or the pendant.

If you are interested, please contact me. This is an EXTREMELY LIMITED offer! Thanks!

Last of 2007 ACEO Box Set SALE

Okay, this pendant turned out REALLY awesome.  This is my first ever actual rock carving that was intended to look like something.  Those are clear swarovski crystals for the eyes.

I seriously doubt I will sell this one -- and my daughter wants me to make one for her -- so I'll probably be busy making this design over at least once more.  *snicker*  I'll probably end up doing on to sell eventually too.

Let me know what you think!  :)

Yeah, this is different for me.  Rock sculpting and jewelry.  It looks pretty awesome though.  (...and it's for sale at my etsy site:  http://norablansett.etsy.com)



Here's my little write up on it:

This is an incredibly gorgeous necklace! The dangle at the bottom is a solid boulder opal with amazing RED fire! I had a really difficult time capturing it -- but I did the best I could.

Again, this is a hand-carved river stone, all the work done by myself. The centre "window" piece is an aurora borealis swarovski crystal. The white pieces are mother of pearl and the two barrel beads leading into the 18" silver plated chain are mahogany obsidian and it is fashioned with a lobster claw clasp.

I've not seen anything like this necklace -- so it's totally original. I'm really proud of this one, and it was a lot of work. This necklace is absolutely MAGICAL!

Ciao!  :)

You're the time of day right around sunrise, when the sky is still a pale bluish gray. The streets are empty, and the grass and leaves are a little bit sparkly with dew. You are the sound of a few chirpy birds outside the window. You are quiet, peaceful, and contemplative. If you move slowly, it's not because you're lazy – it's because you know there's no reason to rush. You move like a relaxed cat, pausing for deep stretches that make your muscles feel alive. You are long sips of tea or coffee (out of a mug that's held with both hands) that slowly warm your insides just as the sun is brightening the sky.

Yes, I've been busy again...  updating the website (lots of new stuff, dolls, etc.), I opened up an etsy shop for my mojo bags and other various doo-dads (http://norablansett.etsy.com) and hard at work on my art.

...and guess what?!  My immigration stuff will FINALLY be over next week!  Three years!  THREE YEARS!  It took t-h-r-e-e  d-a-m-n  y-e-a-r-s to become a "landed immigrant".  So, I've been pretty busy running around, getting ready for the final interview, getting my photos taken for my immigration card, making sure all of my paperwork is in order...  Yeah, I'm ready!  Then my dearies, I'm going to go visit family ASAP!

I haven't meant to be such a ghost around here, just stopping in to say "boo" every once in a while -- but there's just been so much to do!  So please, go check out all the stuff at the etsy store, check out all the new art and dolls on my website and deviant art, tell your friends, buy stuff, help me pay for a trip back home to see family!

Blessings and Ciao!

Okay, it's the new year.  Admittedly, I'm not feeling celebratory.  Actually, I'm not feeling anything.  I'm drained out of my mind, feeling totally out-of-sorts, not wanting to be creative (which explains the horrific new profile) and well, I just want to go back to bed!

I know I said I would start painting again come the new year, but I just still don't feel like it.  In fact, if I could, I'd put myself in a semi-comatose state for about six more months and refuse to do anything creative.  I was crocheting some mojo/medicine bag thingies, but even that's starting to bore the crap out of me.  I'm not usually the type to get bored...  normally I can find a million and one new ideas bouncing around in my head -- but I think all the dark and dreary days have gotten to me.  I got this awesome new camera for the holidays and I don't even feel like taking photos.  (Yeah, see?  Something's wrong.)

I've also been kinda bummed because it's time to sell the puppies.  I was planning on keeping the little white one, but my girl Pixie is just not going to tolerate yet another dog.  She put up with Angel and barely tolerates Chili...  There's going to be a battle of epic Chihuahua proportion if I try to keep little Sugar.  So, I'm really going to be broken hearted by her leaving me...  *sigh* 

Anyway, I've got the beaded/crocheted mojo bags I haven't shown anyone yet, a few purses I've made and a lot more dolls to photograph that I haven't posted yet.  I really, really, really need a vacation.

Now I'm going to go eat breakfast (because it's 2pm and I don't have the common sense of a flea) and then I'm going to go back to my room and go back to bed...  :P

Ciao!

P.S.  My profile really sucks.  Anyone feel like making  (or just helping extensively) me a profile that doesn't suck?  *snicker*  I am really really bored of the other one.

Sorry I haven't been around much.  Winter is NOT my time of year, I've been sick, feeling antisocial, cuddling puppies and totally not doing anything I am supposed to be doing.

I guess you could say that I decided to take the rest of the year off.  I never did really get back into the swing of things after my operation in October...  I still feel like I'm not ready to deal with the universe.  It sucks because just as soon as I started to really heal from surgery, a massive wave of ice cold air settled over Nova Scotia.  Lupus, fybromyalgia and arthritis are NOT your friend in the cold.  I don't want to do ANYTHING.  I decided that aside from getting gifts for my kids and a few family members, I'm not doing anything.  I've been just crocheting, trying to learn to knit and doing some Japanese cording.  (Yeah, I know...  even "vacationing" I'm still creating.) 

I finally ordered a new cane...  and I'm hoping to commission this totally awesome bead artist to create a "collar" for my cane.  I wish I could find someone who makes medical quality canes and wouldn't mind making me one but leaving it unfinished for me to decorate on my own.  Eh, maybe I can find a cheap one somewhere and strip it down when I have the energy.

Anyway, I haven't forgotten about my friends -- I love you all dearly.  I'm just tired and don't feel like dealing with the onslaught of myspace messages.  I can't think well enough to respond to them all.  Please don't feel like you are being ignored.  I think about my friends often, even if I don't always message you.  :)

So, on that note -- some special hugs go out to the following people:
El, April, Domi, Laura, Logan, Heather, Kitty, Angela, Egg, Michelle, Ant, Nikki, Guy, Thia, Ruthi, Hunny, Sam, Jen, John, Melissa, Becca, Julie, Eric, etc., etc., so forth and so on.  Those are in no particular order, nor are they all the people I am thinking of.

Now, take good care of yourselves and if you really need me, email me.  It's not like you can't find my email addy.  *snicker*  I'm entirely too easy to find on the net...  at least, the spammers are finding me.  If I were a man, I'd have a fifty foot penis by now.  :P

Love to all and ciao!
