With Halloween only two days away, my husband and I have been watching any and every horror movie we can find on the télé! Therefore, I was super delighted to open this awesome ACEO from pinkglitterfae that I received as part of my September ACEO Mini Bounty win.
This fun and whimsical ACEO is titled, "Faerie," and was created by Betty, the artist behind pinkglitterfae, in response to an ACEO Bounty Challenge to paint 'movies'.
In the item description, Betty says that she created this piece as a spoof of one of her favorite horror movies 'Carrie'.She also says that this ACEO "would make a great gift for someone with a warped sense of humor."
Well, I just love this card, so I guess, as the saying goes: If the shoe fits.... ;-)
I am a long-time admirer of the art created by pinkglitterfae and am so very excited to finally have one of her pieces in my personal ACEO collection!
According to her Etsy Profile, Betty is a mostly self-taught artist from Canada who tends towards whimsical art, fantasy, folk art, angels and mermaids. She says that she has taken classes over the years in order to keep growing, but found that the best thing for her was to try and find her own style.
Betty has a fun and creatively inspiring blog, Pinkglitterfae Art, where you can go to see/read about her latest artistic endeavors and happenings in her life. You will also find some interesting personal information about this wonderfully talented artist such as a list of her Favorite Books and Movies, which include:
- Artists Way ~ Julia Cameron
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV Series
- Mists of Avalon ~ Marion Zimmer Bradley
- Northern Exposure DVD
- Pride and Prejudice ~ Jane Austen
- Quantum Success ~ Sandra Anne Taylor
- The Jane Austen Book Club
- Touched by an Angel DVD
- Water for Elephants ~ Sara Gruen
To see more art by pinkglitterfae, I encourage you to check out her EBSQ Artist Portfolio Gallery or her online Flickr Gallery. And, as pinkglitterfae says in her Etsy Shop Announcement, "make yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy your visit."
