A good number of people were interested in these odd little guys. They're spiky! They're vintage! They're Christmas ornaments from the future, or maybe an alien planet! Sets of 3. https://t.co/seOwEONTT4

One other design for the light switch plates. I went for an "aged steampunk" look for these ones.

[xingcat @xingcat]

@BGSULady I am! Same name there.

[xingcat @xingcat]

More oddball light switch plates. This time in a melted copper/gold with some blue accents. They look really interesting and archaeological in real life. A little less impressive in a photo.

Second set of monoprint cards. These were done with the sort of "spare" pulls from my printing plate and a stamp I got at the thrift store. Even less traditionally Christmas, though the colors keep it in the holiday spirit.

[xingcat @xingcat]

Playing with a bit of monoprinting techniques, I created these abstract cards that kind of look (to me) like you used an AI engine to imagine cards from the 1940s.

@youaregoodpod But really, wouldn't it be far nicer to hear about Chumba Casino every 10 minutes? You Are Good....For That Bet, Right?

[xingcat @xingcat]

Turning mistakes into...art? This was made up of a couple of eye molds that got too cloudy for a puppet I made and a couple experiments in making resin coasters. Put it together in a thrifted, painted box and it's a retro something!

[xingcat @xingcat]

@BGSULady Thank you!!

[xingcat @xingcat]

Short test run of abstract Christmas cards. Not sure if it's giving "abstract" or "amateur," but I kind of like the effect. I have a few more designs in the works right now.

[xingcat @xingcat]

Taking a break from the Christmas prep, I made a couple of colorful, tiny textured abstracts. They're glossy and look a bit like encaustic, though it's made with acrylic paint, paper towels, Mod Podge and high gloss varnish. Available on my art site https://t.co/x9keI6uwHE

[xingcat @xingcat]

Two versions of the same idea for cards. I had a large canvas I wanted to use in a new way, so I cut it up into ornament shapes. One minimal on a black background, the other is embellished on top of the cutout with a blue background. Which one (if either) do you like better?

[xingcat @xingcat]

A new week, a new reminder that I have a bunch of Ocean Waves paintings on sale on my site! https://t.co/ZzCDOltEMR

[xingcat @xingcat]

Another new card design. I wanted to do a winter moon look without doing, say, Santa's sleigh flying across. I think this is a nice holiday/winter design that could work the rest of the year, as well.

[xingcat @xingcat]

@MaraliGrace Thank you so much!!

[xingcat @xingcat]

Next set of trial cards. I really liked the wreaths from last year, so I gave them a different background.

[xingcat @xingcat]

@collectdust I want to think it's a really, really persuasive salesperson.

[xingcat @xingcat]

Three new "Ocean Waves" paintings. These are the paintings that seem to be sold the most, so I made a bunch for upcoming shows. Also available on my site: https://t.co/ZzCDOltEMR
