Splatter Sauron

You see, Fiona grew up loving toys not because they were just fun to play with. But because they brought a smile to her face. Their creativity, stories, characters, and endless possibilities for exploration and adventure lit up her imagination. Fiona loves making people smile with her toy creations and illustrations. When she’s not trying to make people smile with her petite armored toy heroes and heroines, she enjoys spending her time baking sugary sweets. One day, she thought, “Why not put the two together?” Although she doesn’t make armored cake figures, she does like to combine her adventurous toy knights with old Kilner jars and pastry displays that bring to mind the feel good memories of candy shops, catching fireflies on warm summer days, and childhood playfulness and imagination. She enjoys capturing and sharing these sweet glimpses of her otherworldly adventurers/adventures with anyone who needs a little dose of playfulness injected back into their life. Fiona’s fantastical creations and designs have mostly been inspired by her deep love and appreciation for fantasy/sci-fi novels, JRR Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, video games, Star Wars, and anything quirky or strange. Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
