Big changes in the family’s art scene, starting with a sold painting! Joelle’s dog painting “French Bulldog and Rocking Chair” sold on Thanksgiving Day.

Joelle’s bulldog painting sold on Thanksgiving Day. And soon, some of her other paintings will be posted on her new Etsy shop. The shop has been around for a while, but only recently, she began selling her art there.

If you’d like to see some of Joelle’s latest art and you’re not in Northern California to see her work at stores (including Made Local Marketplace in Santa Rosa), visit her Etsy shop, “Sassafrastic,” @ etsy.com/shop/Sassafrastic 

Some items you’ll find: paintings, painted river stones, jewelry (including beaded embroidery), and more art. Joelle will be adding more items soon. The shells used in the necklaces were all collected by Joelle from the beaches in Galveston, Texas.

Joelle enjoys creating beaded embroidery pieces, many of which include natural features, including shells and stones she has collected, or antique items, such as antique buttons given to her by her grandmother.
