"One of the charms of the world's most famous painting is that she appears radiant one moment and then serious and sardonic the next.
Now scientists claim to have come up with an answer to her changing moods - our eyes are sending mixed signals to the brain.
They believe Mona Lisa's smile depends on what cells in the retina pick up the image and what channel the image is transmitted through in the brain.
Sometimes one channel wins over the other, and you see the smile, sometimes others take over and you do not see the smile.
Different cells in the eye are designed to pick up different colours, contrasts, backgrounds and foregrounds. Some deal with central vision while others with peripheral."

September 2009
It is with a glad heart that I welcome the first days of Spring to the air and trees and flowers around me! The warmth is picking up steadily here in Sydney and the fresh blooming freesias that line the roads and the budding blossoms dappling the trees fill the air with such a magical scent! And as a special omen of good luck, as I update this website it is the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month of 2009! Over the last month I have been hard at work, managing to paint a new painting and begin several others that I will hopefully be able to finish over the next months, and also prepare for some very exciting product releases below!
New Art: Dizzy Heights
Firstly, the new artwork: called 'Dizzy Heights', it depicts one of my tiny little dragons perched high above the dark, swirling clouds on an ancient stone parapet. He reaches his neck out curiously to peer at the beautiful butterflies that float on the breeze. This beautiful artwork is available in all print sizes now in the Fantasy and Dragon Art Gallery.
New Products: Lace Cameo Pendant Chokers!
We have finally brought back our cameo pendant chokers but in a new and improved style! Available in two gorgeously intricate settings, each one features a porcelain cameo with the artwork embedded right into the surface for a lasting treasure that can be passed down through the years! Each pendant is suspended from a beautiful handmade black lace choker with adjustable length chain and is available in your choice of either gold or silver! See these gorgeous new pieces in the Cameo Pendants Gallery.
New Product: Miniature Cameo Necklaces!
These elegant little cameo pendant and chain combinations are truly beautiful little items that will add just the right touch of elegant enchantment to any outfit. At a non-imposing size and available in either silver or gold, these are just beautiful little pieces. Available now in the Miniature Cameo Necklaces Gallery.
New Product: Ornate Magnets!
Unique, classy and elegant, these ornate magnets are a beautiful addition to your kitchen decor or magnetic notice board. Available in two beautiful sizes, each one is a beautiful cameo art setting with a strong and sturdy magnet backing. See them now in the Ornate Magnets Gallery.

I thought I'd share my latest painting with you. Called 'Dizzy Heights', it depicts a cute little dragon peering curiously at some butterflies as they float above the clouds. It is available now in all print sizes at www.kirstinmills.com.kirstinmills.jpg)
Product News: Cuff Bracelets
When we introduced our beautiful Cuff Bracelets in June last year, we were excited to release this beautiful, new and unique product to fairy art and jewellery collectors. Now, after a year, we are slimming the line down again to carry only one of our previous three designs: our most popular and the most beautiful design of the three. The available artwork designs can now only be purchased in this setting, in your choice of gold or silver. BUT, to appease you and to improve this gorgeous line even further, we have implemented a dramatic price cut! You can now own any of these gorgeous bracelets for only USD$16.00 (AUD$19.95) each! See them in the Bracelets gallery.
Product News: Discontinued Products
In further shaping our range ready for future updates, we have decided to discontinue certain product lines, such as our Satin Shoulder Bags. This line has now been discontinued and I will be placing remaining stock on sale in the Sales and Specials gallery in the coming weeks. Also soon to be discontinued are our Keyrings. While a beautiful and popular little product, these keyrings are becoming too difficult to manufacture and the high risk of damaged leftover stock makes it too expensive to continue offering them. We will however, continue to offer our beautiful Metal Keyrings and are considering options for further keychains in the future.
