Magical_Figurines is now StrangelingEmporium! New Butterfly Original for Charity & more!

Hi everybody! Art news for today!


#1 I have a very special new ORIGINAL Painting up for sale - and 100% goes to charity! This piece is called "Attracting Butterflies" and it is a special painting I have created specifically to help raise funds for Robin Sullins (click here to read more about her) - a very special lady who is having a very difficult time now. She needs new hands & new legs after a tragic accident, and a lot of us who know her & her family in the fantasy arts community have all pitched in and donated artwork to help raise money for Robin's Relief Fund. the original painting is now up for sale on eBay HERE. She is a full sized 16x12 original painting, ready to hang, and every penny goes directly to the charity. Be sure to check out Duirwaigh Gallery's other auctions to see even more fundraising pieces from artists like Alan Lee, Kinuko Craft, Daniel Merriam, Michael Parkes, John Howe, Wendy Froud, Neil Gaiman & more. Prints and limited edition canvases are also on eBay HERE too!


#2 VERY IMPORTANT NEWS: Our sister store Magical_Figuines has been renamed StrangelingEmporium on eBay - you must update your links, favourites & bookmarks to keep an eye on them! the new link is on eBay HERE. It is the exact same store, still run by my sister Amber and her husband Chris - the ONLY difference is the name change. We decided to change the name to reflect the fact that their division has grown to be SO much more than just figurines - it's an entire emporium of Strangeling Art! So - instead of Magical_Figurines, their eBay ID is now StrangelingEmporium (all one word). And again - update your bookmarks to this new link: the new link is on eBay HERE. StrangelingEmporium has authentic signed, limited editions, rare items, handmade jewelry, unique figurines with signed certificates and other items - all featuring my artwork of course, sold & shipped by my own family. They are always happy to ship worldwide and are a wonderful resource for hard-to-find items like Bradford & Hamilton Collection statues, rare canvas prints, etc. that are sometimes hard to find for our international collectors! It's also the only place on eBay where you can get my glossy paper prints, signed on the back by me =) And of course as usual, my typical Strangeling eBay store is staying the same, originals, Lt. Ed. Canvases, ACEOs - the stuff I ship out of my own house basically.

Now that the Art Stroll is over, I am setting my sights on some other upcoming shows here in Florida! I will be spending the next several weeks preparing new original paintings for my shows coming up in March. Stay tuned at my Facebook - I will be posting work-in-progress pics as well as doing some more live webcam broadcasts in the coming month to preview some of the paintings debuting at the shows. My next live event will be MegaCon - March 15-17th at Orlando's Orange County Convention Center - for details, visit my MegaCon Event Page HERE. I'll be at MegaCon in my usual giant art booth with loads of stuff. Then shortly after that - on March 21st at Orlando's CityArts I will be at the opening for a group show called "What Big Eyes You Have" featuring a couple of new original paintings from myself as well as work (all with big eyes!) from Margaret Keane, Yosuke Ueno, Michael Banks, Lisa Petrucci & many more wonderful artists. Definitely come by - it is free & will be a great show- details are on the What Big Eyes You Have EVENT PAGE HERE. For both of these shows we are happy to pre-reserve paintings, so stay tuned for sneak peeks at my Facebook to get a head start!

New Owlyn Original, "Iris Enchantment" & more from Jasmine!

Hi everybody! Art news for today! Lots of news!

Thank you ALL who came out to the Art & Wine Stroll on Saturday! We had an awesome time!!

#1 I have a new ORIGINAL "Owlyn" Painting up for sale! Featuring one of my most popular characters - my owl fairy "Owlyn" - in her newest painting - "Owlyn in the the Springtime." She made her debut at the Celebration Art & Wine Stroll this weekend (and since the customer purportedly buying the original did not come through, sniff) the original painting is now up for sale on eBay HERE. The best Owlyn yet - she is already framed & ready to hang and has a lovely cherry blossom theme to her. Prints and limited edition canvases are also on eBay HERE too!

#2 Another new ORIGINAL painting - "Iris Enchantment"! A lush and gorgeous fairy from my Flower Faeries series, this beauty is surrounded by irises, lilies and butterflies. She made her debut at the Celebration Art & Wine Stroll this weekend and the original painting SOLD. Luckily though I already have prints & limited edition canvases up for sale on eBay HERE.

#3 One of my collectors has put the ORIGINAL "Poisonous Beauties VII: Hemlock" up for re-sale! At a great price too - "Hemlock" is the 7th painting in my Poisonous Beauties series and she is in a lovely ornate frame, all ready to hang. It is not my auction listing, but I can happily guarantee that this is the original painting itself, sold at Dragon*Con 2012 and is being listed by the original collector in its original frame. She's at a Buy-It-Now price or make your best offer and you can see her on eBay HERE.

#4 My CUSTOM PAINTING auction ends tomorrow night! Yes, one of my ever-popular Faces of Faery paintings is being sold "unfinished" up on eBay HERE, with bidding starting at a penny. The winner of the auction gets to tell me how to finish her - what colour hair, eyes, skintone, theme, details, maybe some wings or a small pet - whatever I can fit in there! And of course after I finish her, you get the actual original painting itself. Your chance to "direct" your own painting and be creative - I always have fun with these!

Now that the Art Stroll is over, I am setting my sights on some other upcoming shows here in Florida! I will be spending the next several weeks preparing new original paintings for my shows coming up in March. Stay tuned at my Facebook - I will be posting work-in-progress pics as well as doing some more live webcam broadcasts in the coming month to preview some of the paintings debuting at the shows.

NEW CUSTOM Original Painting and New Purse/Handbag Designs at HautTotes



"Faces of Faery 208 - YOUR Custom Painting"

6"x6" Original Acrylic on Cradled Masonite Panel

Available on eBay HERE


It is a CUSTOM painting auction! The winning bidder will receive this original painting, customized to their specifications, but first they will get to tell me the following:

**Haircolour/Style (I can make it shorter, longer, curly, add bangs, whatever you'd like)
**Eye Colour, Makeup
**Skintone, Freckles, Tattoos
**Wings if you'd like me to fit some in
**I could potentially add a bit of ornamentation like paint in a butterfly or flowers in her hair, a small pet, pretty background, earrings, leaves, something along those lines. Please do keep in mind the size/shape limitations of the 6" image as shown, as it is a 6"x6" square panel.
**This also could make a wonderful gift - if you have a Jasmine Becket-Griffith fan in your life, this could be a great opportunity for them to get to choose their own elements to make it a completely original, special and individual gift!
***This is for the actual painting shown in the auction, NOT intended to be a specific portrait of anybody please (her facial features & shape are obviously already painted!) or anything like that. However you can most certainly tell me your eye/skin/hair colour and I can paint the fairy in the picture shown with those elements! Or to make things simple, you can also refer to other paintings I've done in the past (such as "I'd like her hair to look like Portrait of Ophelia, her wings to look like Starry Night Fairy, and her skintone like Faces of Faery #151, and a skeleton behind her like in "Shallow Grave") etc.
Available on eBay HERE

Veronica's Veil, Confusion of Wings, Originals ACEOs, New #01 Canvases from Jasmine!

Hi everybody! Art news for today! Lots of news!


#1 My new original painting "A Confusion of Wings" is finished! The original painting has already been sold, but I have the Limited Edition Canvases on eBay including the #01 tonight as well as other numbers HERE, and SALE prints of her are up on eBay HERE, and she will also be up at Zazzle shortly too.

#2 My new original painting "Veronica's Veil" is finished! Also with this one, the original painting has already been sold, but I have the Limited Edition Canvases on eBay including the #01 tonight as well as other numbers HERE, and SALE prints of her are up on eBay HERE, and she's also on Zazzle HERE!

Quick note about originals - many of you have been asking "How did the original sell so fast? How can I get one? Do I need magic powers or something?" -- The answer is that lately collectors have been buying paintings of mine before they are even finished. Basically if I have a painting that is *not* destined for display at a specific show or gallery, and if I post a work-in-progress photo of the painting while I am working on it here at my Facebook HERE or up on my Twitter HERE, or during a live video broadcast on my Livestream HERE, or on my Instagram (my user name there is Strangeling), I also post the approximate size & price of the painting. If a collector (you!) see the work-in-progress and already know you want it, you can basically call "first dibs!" on the painting by emailing me at JasmineToad@aol.com and put your name in. Typically we get a lot of requests, so they are handled in the order in which they are received. That is how a painting can sell before it is already finished =) So definitely keep an eye out for those work-in-progress pics up on Facebook, etc.

#3 New ACEO Cards are on eBay!! These are each hand embellished by me in acrylic paints, signed, dated & numbered #1/1 (because I only ever make ONE of each, ever). Some of these ACEO cards may be of paintings you have never seen before! Trading card sized, these are wonderful ways to collect one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Bidding starts at one penny here - HERE.

My upcoming art show Events Page on Facebook has been updated recently! My next event is the Celebration Art & Wine Stroll will be on February 9th. To see the newly updated events page at my Facebook, click HERE. The Feb. 9th Celebration Art & Wine Stroll details are now up there - a fun, free event - I'll have my big tent filled with art and be there all evening here in Downtown Celebration, Florida!

I could never tire of painting butterflies, definitely one of my favourite things to paint! My favourite in particular is the Blue Morpho, and they feature prominently in this piece.

The original acrylic painting is SOLD, prints and Limited Edition canvases are available online (and large open edition canvases are also available at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery at Walt Disney World).

$4,500 SOLD

Lt. Ed. Canvases $125 are HERE

Prints & posters available below



"Veronica's Veil" - a portrait of Saint Veronica and her famous veil - the "first icon". An apocryphal story about the Saint, once this was a very popular theme for medieval & renaissance paintings (everybody from Memling to El Greco painted her at some point). I thought I'd paint her myself, as I always thought it was an interesting story. The visage of Christ on the veil is based off of one of my favourite portraits of him which hangs in the Nelson-Atkins museum by where I lived as a little girl (I always found it a very striking image). The light of the heavens pours down from a sunset, and St. Veronica has a very sweet and sad look about her. I like this one a lot. My husband Matt created a very nice arch cutout for the frame on the original piece. The original acrylic painting is SOLD, prints and Limited Edition canvases are available online (and large open edition canvases are also available at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery at Walt Disney World).

Limited Edition Hand Embellished Canvases will be popping up soon in my Strangeling eBay store (or contact me directly at JasmineToad@aol.com - they are 11"x14", hand embellished by me in acrylic paints, are $125 and are numbered out of an edition of 25, they already come wrapped on boards & ready to hang):

"Arcimboldo Mermaid" NEW Original Painting and "Dragon d'Arc-En-Ciel" Original for Re-Sale



"Arcimboldo Mermaid"

44"x32" Framed Original Acrylic on Panel

$10,000 SOLD

Lt. Ed. Canvases $125 are HERE

Prints & posters available below


Probably my favourite mermaid so far! Also the largest and most complex I've painted so far too. The title is sort of an inside joke and refers to Giuseppe Arcimboldo - an Italian painter from about 500 years ago who painted a lot of "hidden picture" paintings. And obviously, there are a lot of hidden pictures in this painting - the mermaid's tail is made up completely out of sea creatures - sting rays, sand dollars, sharks, octopus, dolphins, abalone, seahorses, pearls, shells, oysters, lobsters, shrimps, eel, fish and loads more. The more you look at this the more you will see! I think this might have been the most fun I've ever had on a painting, and I plan on doing some similar hidden picture style pieces in the future. The original acrylic painting is SOLD, prints and Limited Edition canvases are available online (and large open edition canvases are also available at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery at Walt Disney World). Details are below.

Again, this is not my auction listing but I have authenticated the collector and can happily guarantee that this is the original painting itself, not a print or a knockoff, but the real thing =)

New #01 Canvases up for auction!
It's time again for another batch of new #01 Limited Edition Hand Embellished Canvas prints to go up for auction! Each is the FIRST in their edition, numbered #01 of 25. Lately I've been having Lt. Ed. Canvases sell out within a year or even sometimes a few months, so it's a great idea to grab one if you see one you like, because they are only around for a short while. Since collectors often prefer the #01 in an edition, I put these all up for auction. I hand embellish each one myself in acrylic paints, sign, date & number them #01/25. All of these are wrapped on boards, ready-to-hang, a hanger already on the back. That means when you open up your package in the mail you can immediately stick it up on your wall - no framing needed. Each is up for a penny auction below:

Click HERE to see the new #01 Canvases

Please note: "Arcimboldo Mermaid" is being autolisted at 6:00PM Central time tonight so she may not be up there yet. Just check back later!

You can find other Limited Editions in my Strangeling eBay store HERE as well as my website (in the gallery section) HERE and giant Pop Gallery Exclusive Lt. Ed. Canvases on their website HERE (as well as in person at our gallery at Downtown Disney in Disney World)

"The Philosopher's Egg" Original Painting



"The Philosopher's Egg"

17"x17" Framed Original Acrylic on Panel

Customized wooden triptych frame

Original Painting - $3000 Available on eBay HERE


I've always been interested in alchemy and medieval/renaissance science and magic (and how the two were very often interchangeable). I was lucky enough to see one of Nicholas Flamel's original books in London a few weeks ago, and it inspired me to explore some more alchemical themes in my work. There are a lot of references in old alchemical texts to an item called the "Philosopher's Egg" - it is all veiled in such obscure mysticism it's difficult to decipher, but I liked the phrase so I have created my interpretation with the eggs growing with runes on them (symbols for Abstraction, Digestion, Reverberation, Composition and of course Cum Vino!), with a medieval landscape in the distance.

The frame on this is cool - my husband Matt has cut a special gothic triptych which gives it a particular medieval/renaissance feel - really suits the painting very well! It almost has an altarpiece or stained glass window look to it! Here is the original painting itself (great photos!):

12x12" Signed Glossy Paper Prints of "The Philosopher's Egg" are on SALE for only $19.99 HERE

Faces of Faery Gallery has been UPDATED! $75 Lt. Ed. Canvases & FREE SHIPPING





Now completely up to date - my Faces of Faery Gallery at Strangeling.com has been updated all the way through Faces of Faery #206. Whew!

You can see the updated gallery HERE. You may notice I've also now divided the gallery up into two pages, the first one hundred paintings is on one page, and the other page has numbers #101-#206. Both pages can be accessed from each other at the link above. All Faces of Faery Hand Embellished Limited Edition Canvases are up there now, and are only $75 with FREE SHIPPING worldwide! Ready-to-hang!

All of these are wrapped on boards, ready-to-hang, a hanger already on the back. That means when you open up your package in the mail you can immediately stick it up on your wall - no framing needed. They are all 6x6" square - this means that they make wonderful groupings - a lot of my collectors like to hang them in groups (either by theme, colour, mix & match, etc). I myself often hang them on the wall in groups of 25 or 36 making large squares out of them - looks pretty awesome! They also look great by themselves in small nooks or crannies, above a lightswitch, along the top of the bookshelf - great for decorating.

I hand embellish each and every one of these with my usual acrylic paints & paintbrushes, and each signed and numbered - I only make 25 of each painting as part of the Limited Edition. So far they are all still available but a few are starting to run low, so definitely snag one if you have a favourite.

And yes - Strangeling.com prints & canvases (including these new Faces of Faery) still get FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. As in everywhere. No matter how many (or how few) you order. My free shipping promo will be ending soon once my site gets overhauled a little later this winter, so definitely take advantage of it while you can.

You can see the updated gallery HERE.

Prefer signed paper prints for $13.99? All of my Faces of Faery are available signed on the back by me as glossy photo paper prints in our Magical_Figurines store here:

Faces of Faery prints are at Magical_Figurines

and also in my Strangeling Etsy store - Faces of Faery prints are at Etsy

Like originals? There is a Faces of Faery Original of mine - the newest one yet - up for auction on eBay right now:

"Faces of Faery" #207 ORIGINAL PAINTING is here!

One of the many fairytale-themed paintings that debuted at my Fairytale Fabulous solo show at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery (also one I painted "live" as a demonstration at one of their "Jasmine Paints LIVE" events,) this is "Cinderella at Midnight". As the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella is caught running from the palace into the forest, leaving her glass slipper behind. Her royal coach has transformed back into a pumpkin, her gown into patched peasant rags, her coachmen into white mice. Painted with a pose and palette reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelites, greens are very lush against the sparkling magical dust and Cinderella's shining hair. The original acrylic painting & Limited Edition Canvases can be found at Pop Gallery at Downtown Disney at the Walt Disney World Resort. Signed prints are also available on eBay & Etsy, details are all below!

Last time I checked (a few days ago, so definitely confirm with the gallery) the original painting of "Cinderella at Midnight" is still available - feel free to drop by & see her at Pop Gallery at Downtown Disney here at Disney World!

"Portrait of Goldilocks"

Original Acrylic Painting on Panel

16"x20"

Original Painting - $4200 - SOLD
Another one of the many fairytale-themed paintings that debuted at my Fairytale Fabulous solo show at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery, A Portrait of Goldilocks! A softly baroque/rococo portrait style piece, here is lovely Goldilocks with some porridge - and the three bears in the distance. The little bears are inspired by a print I used to have of dancing bears that always reminded me of the Goldilocks story (now I now it was of the 1870s "Bear Dance" painting by William Holbrook Beard - he had so many delightful animal paintings). The historic portrait elements and classical feel have a bit of a pop-surreal feel with my big eyed look, Goldilocks' glorious mane of blonde hair, and the bear-cave-like lighting. An included elegant golden frame matches the classical ambience of this piece. The original acrylic painting SOLD at the show, prints are now available!

"The Little Mermaid" and "Hansel and Gretel"







"The Little Mermaid"

Original Acrylic Painting on Panel

Framed 12"x36"

Original Painting - $5600 - SOLD

One of the many fairytale-themed paintings that debuted at my Fairytale Fabulous solo show at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery, this is a portrait piece illustrating Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' in my traditional 'big eyed' style. Her hair cascades over a Classical statue from the human world sunken in the sea of a young man listening to the world of the sea within a seashell, just as the little mermaid holds a mysterious potion to beckon her into the world of the humans. A beautifully painted nautilus shell with it's golden spiral shape represents the continuity of life both above and below the waves. The original acrylic painting SOLD at the show, but Limited Edition Canvases can be found at Pop Gallery at Downtown Disney at the Walt Disney World Resort. Signed prints are also available on eBay & Etsy, details are all below!


Signed open edition glossy photo paper prints are up on eBay below:

A couple of the many fairytale-themed paintings that debuted at my Fairytale Fabulous solo show at Downtown Disney's Pop Gallery, Here are "Hansel and Gretel."
