Alright. Week one after launch. I’m crazy, I’m tearing my hair out, I’m on edge, and I’m exhilarated. I love it. Who knew running your own business and following your artistic tendencies would be this addictive?
I thought I would be drowning in frustration and confusion and giving up by now, but after months of thoughtful research, planning, and preparation, it seems as if I really am giving this crazy plan a run for it’s money! I am loving this, and I haven’t even made a sale yet. You wouldn’t even know that I work 39-56 hours at two jobs outside of this lovely business that I call my own. I wouldn’t even call it a side project anymore, it’s mine and I want to let everyone love it just as much as I do.
This week I’ve learned:
:: That I really can do anything I put my mind to.
:: That I am better at visualizing project details from start to finish than I thought.
:: That I have a lot to learn and a long way to go!
Look out world, I’m here to stay!

So you might be thinking, what exactly are “oil painting pendants”, what does that mean? And I’m here to answer those questions for you.
My oil painting pendants are small original works of art that you can wear. Each piece is meticulously hand painted with artist quality Windsor Newton water-mixable oil paints, onto a silver plated or alloy metal pendant.
After the paint has dried completely, I coat the pieces with with a layer of epoxy resin. The coating protects the oil painting from damage, dust, and the elements. The resin is water resistant.
I paint each pendant either from photos I’ve taken myself, from life, or from my imagination. Each pendant is unique, hand-crafted with love, and precious. I make every one from start to finish and each piece matters to me.
To me, fine art is art that has a timeless appeal, personal importance, and value. Lovely works that inspire and beautify your life. An heirloom to pass down through the generations.
I’ve created the oil painting pendants so that you can carry this fine art with you. Fine art to match your mood, your personality, your interests.. or your shoes.
Art to fit your lifestyle. Art made for you.
Fine art you can wear.

The Amber Dawn Herself
Hello and welcome to my website!
On this blog I’ll be sharing the ups and downs of my artistic journey, as well as my process and inspiration.
My name is Amber Dawn.
I sell art online. Oil paintings and original fine art you can wear. Every piece matters to me, and each is crafted with meticulous precision and skill. All of my artwork is proudly and lovingly created by hand, by myself, in my studio in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
When I’m not at one of my two part-time jobs, or working on the shop, I spend alot of my time walking around Stanley Park, the beaches, or one of the botanical gardens taking photos of just about everything. I have a weakness for taking photos of squirrels.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you’ll share the journey with me,
Amber Dawn
