For Mom

When I put together a huge box of gifts for Mom and Dad's New Year presents today, I wrapped the box with my "minnie mouse" - red and white dots, paper. I love the box now:p




















And I made this special necklace for my special mommy. It's silver snake (18") necklace with silver plated "heart in circle" pendant.


















My love to you.

Mini Greeting Cards

I went to see Bob Boyer at the MacKenzie Art Gallery yesterday. Inspiring. Not that his work has anything to do with my work, but the colours! he used. Significant.

It's official; about Xmas shopping, by the way. Some people already done their shopping - I know; and I just started... Good thing that I finally figured it out and have a plan now:p Then it reminded me, it's time to send people my greetings too!



























I love to use Index cards - great size and texture, and the watercolour always makes nice sky portraits. This year, I want to do Regina Winter Skies. This is a set of 42, all signed and marked. Soon it will be on their way to spread the words for me:)

Happy shopping and please be safe.

Wrist Buddy

Icy roads...

Believe it or not, winter is here.

& I just realized that I didn't really update all my blogs, since I got my Etsy store up and running. I meant to link every pieces that I have as merchandises to the pictures that I posted here. But that didn't happen. I will still try to do that these couple days. Nice to have another day off - Remembrance Day tomorrow!

You can go to my Etsy store straight from here. If that's less trouble for you. But if you are liking something from here but it's not in the store yet, well, please let me know via winnia@winniazhang.com. I will also try to name every pieces too, so it's easier for all of us to figure out which is which;)

Now I want to remember a little bit of summer:














It was inspired by a soup advertisement in a magazine...Fun, eh?
