Ticket for a magic carpet ride !

Welcome, welcome to the Magic Carpet Ride, part of  the One World, One Heart event. I am so excited to be a part of this International event designed to bring together blogggers and blog readers from all over the world. The Red Queen has joined us with her winged friends to help us along on our journey through the blogosphere. To make life even more exciting, she is the giveaway here at Paintdiva !



She is acrylic, collage and oilsticks to give her a creamy complexion, all done on archival heavyweight watercolor paper. Don't you love her jeweled bodice and gold leaves on her skirt? She has quite a queenly demeanor, but not quite as threatening as our friend alice's legendary Red Queen. This one is a bit more benevolent.

Congratulations on the One World One Heart event as well as getting Etsy up to speed.

Love the Autumn leaves...must have something to do with the colors and maybe being a November baby.

Good luck with both ventures.

Hi there Paintdiva, all I can say is I love this so much... instant love and now I'm going to quickly go away because if I linger longer I'll just be depressed when I fail to win. I need to look about your store too... wishing you much peace and continued creativity, M
