Hi! If you want to see more from me, please be sure to look at my primary blog : www.acrylicandsteel.blogspot.com and I am giving away the hand warmers pictured below! You may enter to win them HERE .

I am working on some paper dolls. I am not sure why, I assume I just got one of those wild hairs. I don't have any pictures yet but I will post some when I DO have some. I think I will make them magnetic and I will probably sell them in my etsy store.

Here is a painting for you all :)





This is a fashion sketch ACEO. This one has already sold, but I really love it so I wanted to share :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE. You know I love you.

This is why I love ACEOS. THis is so not my styls, but since it is just an ACEO I was more experimental.

"Sleeping Beauty" ACEO by erica voges

The vines growing around this woman make me think of the tale of sleeping beauty! This is an origional watercolor ACEO. Fun. :)

Little Cutie Owly Owl ACEO

AND this is my new etsy avitar... at least for now :)

I also realized that that last post was super lame because I posted that green painting here a few months ago. Sorry guys.

This pretty little bird reminds me of my trip to Michigan a few years ago. I was pregnant with my daughter autumn and it was FREEZING. It was cold and gray for most of the visit, but it was a lot of fun. I also was fortunate enough to see several cardinals out the back window of my in-laws house. They were beautiful.

ACEO preview

"hi! I'm Erica Voges(Ringia) and I paint, make stuff, play roller derby, and take care of my new baby. Just thought I would put a face to the art :) "


A few days ago I started some ACEOs. I will be listing them in my store over the next several days and giving you all closer looks at them as well...


I may even decide to do a giveaway, my first one ever :)

But I thought you may want to preview the finished pieces.

***PS if you want a SUPER close-up of the aceo's click on the pictures :)

All work and no Painting...

I have been spending MOST of my time working, taking care of my pretty baby girl, trying to figure out how to be the new travel team captain with KillerQueen, making arm warmers and making a muslin mock up of the wedding dress that I am making.

I really love doing all of these things but if I don't get some painting in from time to time I am NOT a happy camper, so I treated myself to some aceo-making this am.

A few new ACEO's

These ACEO's or artist trading cards are all original watercolor paintings and can be found in my etsy store. http://AcrylicAndSteel.etsy.com
