new direction and the last unicorn

"September Unicorn"

© 2017

for sale here as an art print

if you are interested in purchasing the original, contact me via sales(att)LiseWinne.com

It is a 5 x 7 in an 8 x 10 gold frame 

(symbolism for the piece is at the end of the post)

I have some big news to tell (on all fronts, including my music), but there are still some fantasy art pieces I am still listing in my shop.  

So I will take some time to list them here before revealing my new direction and, for all intents and purposes, "my new life."

The "September Unicorn" original is available at a gallery at the moment. I can always take it out if you are interested in purchasing it. Contact me if you are interested: sales((att))LiseWinne.com. 

Here is what the prints of it look like framed and on various products:

framed prints are available HERE

using the drop-down on that page to the right, this is a GG8 frame (in the copper bronze section)

and a manor white mat

If you like a little more bulk and detail to your frame, 

here is one I found that is also in the drop-down:

in the drop down on THIS PAGE

go to the tabs "frame" and in the drop-down choose gold

it is VN5 with a mist mat

If you like your piece more "airy and light", here is another kind of frame:

go to the tabs "frame" and in the drop-down choose gold

it is J7 with a bright white mat

Here is what it looks like as a pillow

the default color here is black

This is what it looks like as a tote bag:

This is what it looks like as a mug (I put in stars on this rendition):

you can order small or large

(note: there is an image on two sides of this mug)

As for symbolism:

I have noticed that when talking to clients, they identify with the symbolic meanings as describing themselves. What a great discovery! I will describe what that means, but first, the symbolism itself:

unicorn: purity, innocence, spiritual messages, enlightenment, magic. The unicorn has been known to be an independent creature of high intelligence who swoons at the sight of a fair maiden who is pure of heart, and to even fall asleep in her lap. The unicorn's horn has been known to purify water. The unicorn was described during Renaissance times as an extremely wild woodland animal that was independent and could not be tamed.

full moon: the feminine, peak of clarity in a subtle way, reflection on events, insight from dreams

vines: continuity, tradition, eternity (note here that the vines are going dormant)

I often find that a client who is attracted to this piece enough to purchase it is usually a woman who is independent and of high intelligence, cannot be tamed, feels an attraction to the occupation of healing, is perceptive, and who likes the company of other beautiful women like herself who are pure of heart. She is likely to be against the DAPL pipeline or other causes where pollution of water is an issue. She is reflective and clarifies matters for others in a non-ostentatious way, gets insight and creative ideas from dreams, and may respect tradition even if it might be going dormant within her soul for a time (or she may be breaking with tradition altogether depending on whether she wants to cycle back into the traditions prevalent in her life).

I tell how to customize below

This piece is from 2012, and I still have the original ACEO (without the border) for sale HERE.

Here is another version:

CUSTOMIZING IT:

Here is how to do it:

On the right, click on prints, and then find framed prints.

Alternatively, go HERE where the framed prints are

click the arrow where it says framed prints on the right hand side

Then you'll see a tab come up just underneath it

You'll see a bunch of tabs running underneath the "framed prints" 

(and underneath the tab, you'll see the framing possibilities --

note: the frame defaults to a black frame -- yuck, but you can change that)

Anyway, up where the tabs are, click on 1. for the size print you want.

Then click on 2. for the frame.

You'll notice right before all the little square pictures of frames, you can choose a frame color.

*The first one is in the gold section (click on VN7).

*The second one is in the gold section too (click on 4VS).  

Then click on 3. for a mat color

*The first one is "Mist matte" which is in the second row towards the end.

*The second one is "moss green matte" -- in the fourth row all the way to the end of the row. 

I usually go for the Somerset Velvet paper. It has the best picture quality for my taste,

but if you want to save money and it is going in an area where sun will hit it part of the day,

or in a bedroom, then the archival matte paper is fine.

Here are some pillow possibilities using the same kinds of sliders and swatches
(pillows here):

using the customization colors and sliders it is:

R (105) G (98) B (58)

or #69623a

Here are some other possibilities you can get by playing around with colors:

The reason for all of these possibilities? To go with your decor.

Here is a greeting card with a light green background:

This background color is:

R (215) G (220) B (193)

or #d7dcc1

Here is how it looks as a tote bag

(tote bags are $19.98 for the smallest, and 

$24.25 for the largest):

Here is how it looks as a shower curtain (cool, yes?):

More products are available in this design HERE.

My continually growing on-line shop is HERE (note as of this writing it is a new shop).

Again, the original, a very tiny drawing, as of this writing, is for sale HERE for $25.

Thanks for looking!
