I started out "gleaning" (new word for cleaning and getting rid of) the house today and thought I'd start by cleaning up my art area. BIG mistake! I found a piece I had been working on for the "Mad as a March Hare" contest for the team, ACEO~Art Card Editions and Originals on eBay, but hadn't had time to finish. Well of course I couldn't put away a piece that was nearly 50% complete ... so I sat down and really enjoyed finishing it up! Since it is too late to enter into the contest, I just renamed they little guy! I am happy to introduce you to:
"Hare Holmes"
The original ACEO of "Hare Holmes" is currently listed in my eBay Store at:
Open Edition ACEO art prints are available in my Etsy Shop at:
So that I won't feel so guilty about backsliding on my "gleaning" I'll now go out and clean out one wee cupboard! Hey ... I'm starting with baby steps! LOL!
Happy day all!

This is fabulous! We're big fans of Sherlock Holmes--especially "Elementary" and the SH show on the BBC. Cleaning and gleaning are no fun, and I do them as little as possible!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I love SH too! Even the ol' Basil Rathbone movies ....
DeleteIts been over 15 years that we DeeP gleaned ... guess I could say I do it as little as possible too! 8)
Whoops! I meant Peter Cushing! LOL!
DeleteHare Holmes needed to be completed. He's amazing! I've always been a big Sherlock Holmes fan and have read and watched anything and everything relating to Sherlock.
ReplyDeleteIf you've put off gleaning for more than 15 years, what's compelling you to take time away from your art and doing it now??
You know, I didn't start this one out to be Sherlock Holmes ... it just happened. I had the head drawn, sketched in different styles of hats and the Holmes hat just worked so I went from there. I didn't realize there were so many Holmes fans out there!
DeleteHmmmm, you know Maddy Rose, you are right! I can easily put it off for another 15 years! I know ... I'll glean one day a week ... that's a good compromise. Thanks for putting things into perspective Maddy Rose! 8)
You are so funny Karen Anne! I think I should come over and help you glean ;o) LOL! Your new Hair is so cute, and so wise looking! Excellent ;o)
ReplyDeleteYou are totally welcome to do just the Stacy! Think of all the treasures we could find and I could send home with you!
DeleteYep, Hare Homes takes his job seriously! He gonna get to the bottom of what makes those flowers grow in Zentangle designs! LOL! Happy day Stacy! 8)
