New Ruffing’s Etsy Shop, and New Art Doll Photo Prints

Update: We now have our items on this website instead. Please check out our Ruffing’s shop!

We have just opened our new collective Ruffing’s Etsy shop, and we’ve just added new photo prints of our original, one-of-a-kind art dolls to that shop. We made our very first sale from our new Etsy shop, and that order went on its way just this morning. Here are the first of the prints. They are made with the same archival cotton art paper and pigment inks as our other prints, and each comes in a protective cello sleeve. They are all made as they are ordered, one at a time, and are each hand signed.

We are in the process of moving the contents of A E Ruffing’s Etsy shop to the new Ruffing’s Etsy shop, along with our original one-of-a-kind art dolls, and we’re moving the prints and fine art from Elizabeth Ruffing’s Etsy shop there too. Elizabeth is going to keep her shop open for her handmade toys, and she will probably rename it something like “Hug Me Slugs and Friends”.

Most of our art dolls are already up, and we’re still adding more prints.

A Dozen Roses by Max Bailey

A Dozen Roses by Max BaileyAs you may know, teddy bears are not terribly talkative, but with these two, no words are needed. The message is clear.

He has gotten all dressed up to say it with flowers. She holds her head to one side, overcome with shyness and admiration of her handsome suitor. Love is in the air, and all around them. That makes today a very beautiful day!

A Dozen Roses by Max Bailey“A Dozen Roses” is an original watercolor painting. I am making a limited number of reproductions of this image as a signed giclée print as well, which may be ordered by emailing us at [email protected]

Text around image reads: “May a flock of guardian angels soar above you, and watch over you, and keep you safe.”

Black-capped Chickadee and Iris by A E Ruffing

Black-capped Chickadee and Iris by A E RuffingI painted this familiar bird looking alert and inquisitive, the way I often see him in the garden. He’s a striking little bird, and I think the soft mauves of the iris make him look all the more dramatic, with his sharply-contrasted blacks and whites and grays. I set him against a pale yellow sky, with a deep blue-shadowed tree and distant woods of golds, greens, mauves, and blues behind him.

This is what the 8 1/2 by 11 print might look like framed without a mat. (A mat and frame are not included.)
