    About Me: Oh, geeze...Me, um, well, I am currently a full time artist and gardener...I work out of my house and have a small studio in my bedroom...I am a huge animal lover (two cats and a dog, tons of birds and wildlife on my land that I am a surrogate mother to)...I like fantasy a lot, and dark stuff. I have this weird obsession with zombies. I am the oldest of three girls and a Capricorn. I'll think of more later and update again...It's hard for me to talk about myself, I guess.
    Music: Anything metal, 80s rock, hip hop, rap, some punk...I like oldies a lot, I pretty much like everything, even country.
    Movies: Zombie movies, especially the bad ones (but NOT Zombie Nation. This is the lamest movie ever made and if you've never seen it, dont bother!) Some of my PERSONAL favorites are A Clockwork Orange, American History X, The Rock, Con Air, the olde version of Willy Wonka...
    TV: Not too much, but...Robot Chicken, The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, Axe Men, Intervention, Reno 911, and South Park.
    Books: Lets go with authors on this one...Roald Dahl, Dr. Suess, JRR Tolkien of course, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Shakespeare (King Lear is my fav), Irvine Welsh, Chuck Palanuik...
    Hobbies: Gardening and art (also what I make a living doind so it works out nicely), spending time in the woods, reading, sewing, playing with animals, keeping myself out of trouble (a good hobbie to have)
    Vices: Smoking and the occasional drinking (whiskey and scotch), not calling my friends back right away, sometimes I bite my nails, and I definitely eat WAY too much chocolate.
    Virtues: I am extremely patient (to a fault). I listen well, I learn fast, I am willing, determined, and have pretty descent self esteem, I suppose.
    Heroes: My mum, my stepmum, pretty much anyone who would risk their lives to save another...

    New vintage ACEO art ~ mermaid and fawn...

    Thursday, July 3, 2008, 08:22 PM [General]

    So...Let me see...
    Well, I suppose we will start with the listings, yes? I have a new vintage book page illustration ACEO listed, a beautiful fawn in a grassy field. The fawn starts at just 99 cents and to view the details, just click on the pic below:



    On etsy I have listed another of my vintage book page illustrations, one that I am rather attached to and not willing to part with at auction..."Witchy Waves" is a pretty little mermaid emerging from some frothy waves. To view her details and perhaps even give her a loving home, just click on the picture below:



    Also, a few weeks ago I posted about an online show (at EBSQ) that one of my collage pieces is in...Well, it's now time to vote~ so if you please, go see the show and place your vote by clicking on the banner below:~ to place your vote, click on your favorite art's thumbnail and click on the vote! button at the top of the detail page...



    Aw, I am exhausted...I worked a little bit on the base for Brent's sexy lady sculpture, and added a few more details to her as well. I also worked on my other commission project, and started a few new vintage illustration aceos. I love them, they are too much fun!! Two mermaids, two witches, a dragon or two...peacock...Love it! A bunch more flowers have bloomed; hollyhock, batchelors button, and some little white foxgloves I didn't know about. No moonflowers yet, but they grow about a foot a day, I swear! I will have to take some more pictures and post them... Okay, I've got to go chill out, but before I go, Tamara at Misty Dreamz cross stitch patterns has posted a bunch of my newer images available as cross stitch patterns. To view all the new patterns, please click on the button below:


    Okay, I'm out...

    Ahoy hoy!

    Saturday, June 21, 2008, 08:49 AM [General]

    Greetings all! Well, I am gonna make this a quick post, as I am trying to set up my schedule and such for the next couple weeks, and I have some web updating to get to as well...

    I have another 99 cent eBay auction up~ she is "Monarch Maiden" an original mixed media ACEO...Gold and bold, she is sparkley everywhere! To view the auction and detail pics, just click on the pic below:



    "Green Eyes" is another original mixed media fairy ACEO, listed on etsy right now. This fairy is pretty neato~ the eye is really the only mixed media part about this card. The hair is silk, and the rest is illustration... To view the listing and detail pics, just click on the link below:



    Well, that's about it for now. I've got to get back to the grind! ~Em

    Poppies...and a bunch of art!

    Saturday, June 14, 2008, 12:31 PM [General]

    Oh happy Saturday! So, I have a few updates here...

    I have been adding some new merchandise to my Cafepress store...New dragon jackets among other things... Please visit my store by clicking the button below to view all the products. :) More to come real soon!



    There is a new category in my etsy store, "10 bucks and under", and I have been listing a lot of original ACEOs and other art there, all for $10 or less, and as always, free shipping! I've put up a few astrology/zodiac ACEOs, and more to come, and certainly some collaged ACEOs as well...So if you would like to browse through my really affordable and really original art in this category, please click on the button below:



    Also, one of my older mixed media pieces is currently in the EBSQ show "Catch the Breeze". It is an online art show focusing on fans, and I just happened to have the perfect piece for it. At the end of the month, the show will end, and at that point EBSQ patrons are able to vote on their favorite piece. To read the prospectus and view the show, please click on the banner below:


    If you wish to dontate to the winners collection, the link is also on that page :). I will most likely post again when it comes time to vote :)

    What else...a new piece available...This is "Tiptoes", a mixed media (nude) fairy ACEO in healthy greens and sparkly blues. She is up for auction starting at just 99 cents. To view her eBay listing, just click on her picture:



    I have some beautiful poppies in my garden that have finally bloomed, so I actually got some pictures:



    I just love poppies. These are oriental poppies, not Flanders poppies (those are beautiful, too, as are the California poppies, which are not actually poppies but are named for their likeness). I love the mystique of the poppy, all the way from it's opiates to it's pop culture to it's appearance fragility but it's actual strength... Such a lovely plant.

    Anyhoo, I am going out of town today until late Monday night. I always bring my laptop but sometimes I don't use it. So, I must get ready to go!

    A Whole New Look!

    Friday, June 6, 2008, 08:32 AM [General]

    Ahoy hoy! Well, I know I have neglected my blog here, but am here to update now! (FYI my regularly updated blog can be viewed at http://darkling_emily.livejournal.com). I have finished revamping my website...it has a whole new look, tons more art in the gallery, a bunch of new helpful, fun, and informative art links, a more in depth bio page... it's just so much better now...Much closer to the website I had in mind. A lot of work, but certainly worth it! So, I am asking all you wonderful magical folks to take a moment to drop by


    (if the banner link does not work, try clicking here --> www.darklingtreasures.com  )
    I would love to get some feedback, so please let me know what you think!! Constructive criticism is also welcome and taken gracefully ;)

    I also have a beautiful new (ish) mermaid piece to share with you...



    "Afterglow" is an original 8" x 10" mixed media collage based on canvasboard. She was drawn in archival inks on acid free paper, and other hand made papers, acrylic paint, varnish, and peacock feathers were used to create the background and details. (no mermaids or pea**** were harmed in the making of this fantasy art) :) One of my altime favorites for sure! You may view detail pictures and a more in depth description, as well as the option to purchase her, here in my Etsy store.
    I suppose I had better go and get some chores done and some art made...I am attempting to sew myself a new hand bag, but keep getting majorly distracted!! Ciao! ~Em

    Hello Emily, I love your name & have a beautiful porcelain doll called Emily. Thank you for joining our EF community, it's good to have your company & colourful art here, yay for dragon's laughing! (I too have a love for Shakespeare - btw, when Drew & I were at Drama School we did a production of King Lear with gender reversed roles, it was interesting but I don't think a Queen Lear would have behaved like that... Happy memories though as I got to play Edmund, muahahaha;)
    Smiles & rhyming couplets to you,
