Elizabeth Ruffing's New Etsy Shop

Elizabeth Ruffing's new Etsy shop is now open. I've stocked it with many of my fine art giclées and a couple of original art quilts as well. I'm planning on making the giclées on the Ruffing's site available on Etsy, to add an extra ordering option. I'll be updating the Ruffing's site to include buttons that link to Etsy on each giclée description page.

This is a giclée of my original watercolor painting, "The Rabbit Dances".

This is a one-of-a-kind original art quilt wall hanging of hand-dyed batiks framing a canvas print of my original watercolor, "Valentine", which shows a pale pink iris on a muted magenta, art nouveau-inspired wallpaper background.

These, and other works of art are currently available in my Etsy shop. Please visit and have a look around. I'll be adding more works of art on a regular basis.

Welcome to Ruffing's new blog

This blog is meant to continue where our "In Progress" page left off. I've switched to a blog format to allow for greater ease in keeping everyone updated on our most recent paintings, giclées, art quilts, and art dolls.
I've also been working on a new web site, The Art of Elizabeth Ruffing. It features links to our Ebay Store, my Etsy Shop, my photo portfolio, and my personal blog which offers a behind-the-scenes look at my studio and my latest creations. Please visit and have a look around!

OOAK One-of-a-kind Original Iris and Pansy Floral Art Quilts by Elizabeth Ruffing

These are two new art quilts that I made using 100% cotton batik fabric and cotton batting. In the center of each one is a canvas print of one of my paintings.

This one is "Valentine", a pale pink iris on a muted magenta William Morris-inspired, art nouveau design.

There is a cotton sleeve on the back of each quilt with a matching, hand-painted wooden rod inserted inside for hanging. A matching ribbon is inserted inside the sleeve with the wooden rod.

I used a free-motion stippling effect with my machine stitching to quilt the wallhangings. This wallhanging is approximately 11 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches.

This art quilt features a canvas print of "Pansies" with a decorative border around the image.

It has the same stippling stitching and a sleeve with matching hand-painted wooden rod and ribbon for hanging.

The edges are finished with a cotton batik binding.

This quilted wallhanging is approximately 11 x 12 1/2 inches.

Both are available in my Etsy shop.
