This newsletter features recent updates and news from www.selinafenech.com Happy New Year everybody! What a year 2008 was. I've been reviewing my achievements of 2008 and am fairly impressed with the list. From major publishing contracts, to finishing 34 paintings, and of course, beating cancer, it was quite a big year! Hopefully 2009 will be a lot bigger, better, and completely cancer free! I've decided to re-open and re-launch early! I was going to wait until the 5th, however I was just too keen to get this done I couldn't wait! So we are now open again for shopping, with some fantastic new products and changes to the site. Website Relaunch!! New Products and Redesigned Products!! While the site was being worked on... Valentines Day soon upon us New Competition!

Some very exciting news! I have just signed with a publisher to create two oracle card decks, working with the amazing Lucy Cavendish as author. With these decks on the horizon, my three current card decks are being discontinued. Once they are sold out they won't be re-printed, and there's not a lot left now. In fact, one deck is already all gone! I will release more news about the new decks as work begins on them.

Five lovely new art prints have been released this month, including three unicorn sisters, so cute! When I was about 7 years old, I used to write stories all the time about these winged unicorn ponies, who are called Rainbow Wings, Sunset and Moonshine. They had all sorts of adventures, receiving special magical presents from the fairies, being captured by goblins, meeting mother nature! I was just thinking about the again the other day, and just knew I had to paint them again!

In the Specials & Sales section you will find some one of a kind items up for grabs! I have hand made a few brooches using Cameo settings and brooch pin backs, they look great. I might develop these into a proper product range, I might not, but right now there are only 4 available! I've also printed some one of a kind canvas ACEO style prints. These little trading card size prints look great, I just love how the prints look on canvas, like little old fashioned masterpieces!

All those sold out greeting cards are now back in stock, as well as some new designs, Far Far Away, Silver Sisters, Queen Mab, Queen Gloriana, and Queen Caelia!

Next time you hear from me I will have completed all my chemotherapy treatment and be well on the way to recovery! Let me tell you, I'm stupidly excited about having my hair grow back! Being bald in winter is just BRRRR. Thanks to every who has sent well wishes during this time, it's really kept me going through some hard patches.
- The website has a brand new look! I thought it was about time for a redesign, so the site's had a big make over to a beautiful new enchanting layout, with improved navigation and information sections. I hope you like this new, more magical feeling site. Feel free to let me know what you think!
- The BIG news is that Journals are finally in stock! It feels great to finally have my hands on these, and literally too, they feel so wonderful. The journals are solidly made, hard covered with a patterned faux suede fabric, are 8x10" in size and have 100 unlined pages of beige parchment for you to use for just about anything.
- The Fairy Queens artworks I created a month ago are now available on a Coffee Mug and in Stationery Sets and Cameos, see them in the New Releases section along with the new Moonlit Magic coffee mug and more.
- I've also just got the stock in of the new Cameo Pendants setting I have designed. These new settings are a step up in quality from the previous cameos (which were hardly lacking, if I may say so!). They are made from lead and nickel free pewter, plated with antique silver. I hope you like the new design!
- A couple of limited items for sale this month, including some Dragonfae Card Decks and Faeryland 2009 signed calendars in the Specials & Sales
gallery and a very few figurines of Impossible Love and Guardian for sale in the Figurines section. - Lots of Greeting Cards are currently on sale as dicsontinued designs- once they are all sold they won't be reprinted!
- I've managed to dig up just one copy each of the sold out 2008 calendars, available now at Books & Calendars
- Don't forget Fairy Day is coming up on the 24th! The best time of year to celebrate fairies! Click here for ideas on what you can do.
- Four new artworks available as prints, a set of Fairy Queens!
- My chemotherapy is certainly draining, and hard, but I'm almost half way through now! Each treatment is a three week cycle before going in again for more, and I find only the first week after each treatment is fairly rough, the other two weeks I'm feeling back to normal, and actually getting some painting done now, yay!

Breast Cancer Update
Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes and support! I thought I had better post an update on how things are going with my treatment. So far everything has been really positive and going very well. I had surgery back on the 11th where they just cut the lump out. They did a check of the lymph nodes then as well to see if the cancer had spread at all, but they were clear, which is a really big YAY! It’s all healing really well too, I feel almost back to normal allready, they did such an awesome job (I barely even look different, except for what will be a super cool scar!).
A week after they came back with the full
pathology results and confirmed the clear lymph nodes, and a clear
margin on the removed tissue, which was the best news. Unfortunately
the cancer type is a more aggressive form, so just to be sure they
clear out any tiny bit that might still be hiding somewhere they are
going to start me on chemotherapy in a few weeks time, and then
radiotherapy after that. But it is expected that I will be 100% cancer
free after all that. Of course they can never really know, and it’s
something that I’ll have to keep an eye on for the rest of my life, but
fingers crossed hey!
The chemo, as most people know, has a lot of
side affects and will probably make me feel pretty goopy on and off for
the next 4 months or so. Mostly fatigue and aches and such, and of
course the famous hair loss! I’ve taken a stand against the hair loss,
and am going to have fun over the next few weeks before treatment
starts, with a series of ever-shortening crazy funky hair cuts. In
fact, I’ve already been in and am now a shoulder length pale blond!
Next I’m thinking a bright red pixie cut ^_^
On the art and business
side of things, I’ve been so incredibly lazy, and unmotivated. I’m
slowly working on and off on a commission for a beer label for Wychwood
brewery, but otherwise haven’t done any new work. I’ve got some great
ideas I want to start on soon though. I’ve got someone working the
order filling part of my business for me which is nice (with my help on
and off when needed, still training!). Also I’ve got a HUGE shipment of
luscious journals on their way in by sea mail (about 2 months away!).
They are so beautiful, just wait till you see them.
Anyway, thanks
again everyone for your support! It feels as though I wouldn’t be
getting such good results from my treatment without it.

I was going a mile a minute with Creativity, too, making faerie furniture and planning a faerie house, then a big PAUSE for chemo treatments. Usually I know what's coming, but Dr. is trying a different treatment, so unknown reactions to deal with. If you ever want to message/talk . . . I'm here. Lady Trillium
