"Henry the Owl", New Giclee Print by Elizabeth Ruffing

"Henry the Owl", my second watercolor on Claybord, is printed and available in my Etsy shop. This print is also up for auction on eBay.


I used my Claybord tools to scratch out the whitest feathers on his head and add lots of fine details. Henry's eyes are particularly striking. He's a sweet little fellow, kind of shy :)



Here's my second video, of me painting "Henry the Owl". I just put it up over on my YouTube channel. Please visit my online personal journal for more in depth information about my paintings, and the latest on what I'm up to in my studio.

"Matilda", New Lop Rabbit Print by Elizabeth Ruffing

My lop-earred rabbit is painted, printed, and available in my Etsy shop! I am also putting this print of "Matilda" at auction on eBay.

The orginal watercolor painting for this print was my first on the Claybord, which made for some interesting effects. The detail that you can add by scratching the surface is great. Using a dental pick and some of the Claybord tools that came in the Claybord toolkit, I was able to add fine lines and textures for the lace trim on her turquoise Victorian dress, and her fuzzy bunny fur.

I also put together my first video for my new YouTube channel, of myself painting this painting, which you can watch below. Hope you enjoy it!

"Lavender-blue Iris on Green"

Here is a whole garden of iris, and some white roses. I adore iris and have a big bed of them out my back door, in a huge variety of colors. I also love Art Nouveau and William Morris' designs. With these paintings, I was exploring doing my own repeat patterns in that vein.

New Original Folk Art Doll Greeting Cards by Max Bailey

We've made up a few sets of handmade greeting cards featuring images of my one-of-a-kind art dolls. The images are printed on archival-quality art paper and glued, using acid-free glue, to acid-free ivory-colored cards, that are blank inside. They are printed with archival-quality pigment-based ink, and so they are suitable for saving and framing.

The cards are 5 by 6 1/2 inches and they come with matching ivory envelopes. Each card is individually bagged for protection. They make a nice gift for cat lovers and for art doll lovers.

We will be putting these greeting cards up for auction on eBay in sets of four. Please go check out our eBay store for our art doll listings as well. We will be putting some of our dolls up at Buy It Now prices in our store for the holiday season. Currently, "Frannie" and "Leah the Star Baby" are available for adoption in our eBay store. Other one-of-a-kind art dolls are available through our web site. Please check our art doll gallery page to see our currently available dolls, and email us with any inquiries. We have more on the way that are waiting to be photographed and we are a little behind updating our web site...So, please feel free to inquire if you hear one of our dolls calling your name :)

New Handmade Winter-themed Holiday Cards by Elizabeth Ruffing

I've just put together a few sets of blank holiday cards for my Etsy shop. They are suitable for any winter holiday, or to be given just because. Above is "The Rabbit Dances".

This is "Snowy Night". Both images are printed on 100% cotton archival art paper, using Epson archival pigment-based ink for longevity, which means they can be saved, framed, and displayed.

I attached the images to acid-free ivory cardstock using acid-free glue to make cards that are 5 by 6 1/2 inches. They are blank inside, and they come with matching ivory envelopes.

They are available in sets of four, with a choice of four of one image, or two each of each image. They come bagged as a set and are currently priced at $8.00 per set of four, plus postage. They can be ordered on Etsy, or by emailing us at Ruffing's. Happy holidays!

Mini Giclee Cat Art Prints by Elizabeth Ruffing

I've decided to introduce mini versions of my prints. I'm not sure how long I'll offer them, but they are currently available in my Etsy shop, and on our website.

These prints are made from my original acrylic paintings and are printed on nice heavy-weight, 100% cotton art paper, using archival-quality, pigment-based Epson inks. They are signed below the image in pencil, and they each come in a protective cello sleeve.

From top to bottom, they are "The Guardian", "Laurence with Primroses and Daffodils", and "Something Stirring".

New Max Bailey Christmas Elf Prints

I've been adding more new prints on Etsy and on eBay. These are two Christmas elves.

This sweet little elf is dreaming of Christmas, while his chickdee friends keep him company. A big yellow moon is coming up in the night sky behind him. It is called "A Christmas Dream".

In "Final Touches", Santa's helpers are very busy putting the finishing touches on a Christmas ornament. Only the most artistic mice get to be Santa's helpers!

Both these prints are on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, with an image size of 8 x 10.5 inches, and retail for $20.00, plus postage. They are printed on Epson Watercolor paper, using Epson archival-quality pigment-based inks, and come in protective cello sleeves. If you would like to order one directly from us, just email us and let us know.

Sneak Peek...New Max Bailey Prints!

This is just a bit of what is on its way! We are introducing a new line of Max Bailey prints!

They are a standard size 8.5 x 11 inches and can also fit a standard 8 x 10 inch mat and frame set (not included).

Above is "Proud Mom", a Victorian-style rabbit mother with her overflowing carriage full of baby bunnies.

This is "Shopping Bears", showing two very excited teddy bear girls on their way home from a big shopping trip.

Both are currently available both on eBay and on Etsy, and they can also be ordered by emailing us.

Other images can be seen on Flickr. More to come!

New A E Ruffing "Black-capped Chickadee and Iris" Giclee Print

I've added a new 8 x 10 inch giclée print to both our web site and my Etsy shop. This giclée is based on my original watercolor painting "Black-capped Chickadee and Iris".

I 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 giclée is a standard 8 x 10 inch image size, on 9 x 11 inch art paper, and is hand signed.

New Chrysanthemum Flower Baby Fairy Art Doll by Elizabeth Ruffing

"Greta", my new chrysanthemum flower baby fairy is finished! I'll be putting her up for auction on eBay starting Friday, June 15th at about 9pm EST.

She has an antique reproduction baby face of papier mâché. Her head and pointed ears are paperclay, and her body is 100% cotton cloth. Her pale green butterfly wings with yellow spots are hand quilted and she is entirely hand painted with acrylic paint. She will be sealed with matte varnish for protection.

She has hidden button joints which make her posable, just like "Rosa" who left for her new home at the beginning of this week. I managed to get a few pictures of them together before she left on her journey.

Greta has an oak-colored stand that lifts her in the air so she can practice flying, and running through the air. She enjoys that.

You can view more pictures of them both on Flickr.

I'm also introducing some mini art plaques. I've painted 6 by 6 inch solid poplar wood to coordinate with my artwork and mounted several reproductions of my original watercolors on them. Above are "The Fairy and the Dove" and "Fairies and Butterflies".

Clockwise from the upper left these are "The Guardian", "Laurence with Primroses and Daffodils", "Iris and Foxgloves", and "The Rabbit Dances". They are all made using archival grade materials and I will be varnishing them for further protection. Prints of these images are available on our website.

New A E Ruffing Art Prints on Etsy

My Etsy shop has some new additions. I've listed quite a few of my fine art giclées in my shop. These are a small sampling. Above is "Oriole and Daylily", depicting a Northern Oriole perched on an orange daylily.

This is "Hiding", showing a little Eastern cottontail rabbit tucked away among the black-eyed Susans.

And this is "Sunday Morning", a country porch scene with a rocking chair, all in blues and greens.

All of these giclée prints are based on my original watercolor paintings, and are printed on heavy-weight fine art paper. Please visit my shop and take a look!

New Elizabeth Ruffing Fairy Prints

These are two new fairy art giclée prints for our Ruffing's web site. Both are a standard size 8.5 by 11 inch image size on 9.5 x 12 inch fine art paper. Both are fantasy pieces based on my original watercolor and pen and ink paintings. Above is "Moon and Star" which depicts the moon as a woman with butterfly wings and a star as a young girl. Both are descending toward the horizon at dawn.

This giclée is entitled "The Moon Sings a Lullaby". I was imagining what kind of lullaby the moon would sing, if the moon could sing, to help people drift off to sleep. I thought of the sounds of katydids, which I’ve always loved to listen to on summer nights. And I thought of the poppy field in The Wizard of Oz, which caused Dorothy and her friends to fall asleep on their way to The Emerald City. This is the moon singing us all to sleep with a lullaby full of poppies and katydids.

Both prints are also available in my Etsy shop. Please visit!

Iris, Pansy, and Rose Floral Giclée Art Prints in Elizabeth Ruffing's Etsy Shop

I've added four of our floral giclée art prints to my Etsy shop. Each one is 3.5 by 5 inches image size on 6 x 8 inch fine art paper. I chose a standard size 6 by 8 inch paper size to expand framing options, as these will fit in either a standard 5 x 7 inch or a standard 6 x 8 inch size mat and frame set, with a white border showing.

Each giclée has a decorative floral border surrounding the central image. Above is "Pansies".

"Purple and White Iris"

"Peach Iris"

"Pink Roses with Gold Border"

Please visit my shop and have a look.

The original watercolor paintings are also available for sale on our Ruffing's site.

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.
