Lovely Clusters

Lovely Clusters has a blog and I'd love to be on their Blogger's list! So I'll tell you a bit about myself...

I've been painting ever since I can remember, from creating decorative barrettes and picture frames for my three sisters, painting sea stones from the beaches of Cape Cod and Nantucket and, as a teenager, covering every square inch of my bedroom with decoupaged images of flowers and butterflies. My blogsite is here at Nantucket Mermaid and my Etsy shop is here,
where I sell hand painted eggs, cake toppers, dolly sachets and more!

I was always inspired by designers like Laura Ashley ,MaryQuant, Celia Birtwell and especiallyEdward Gorey. Some of my favorite blogs and websites are Apolline a Paris for design and storybook fantasy, A Journey Around My Skull for wonderful book illustration, and Cannelle etVanille for the beautiful pictures and recipes for gluten free eating.

Here are some images of my work....

A wedding cake topper.....

And my shop on 4 Fair Street in Nantucket! Thanks for looking! :)
