Mazzy Blue Studios

It has been a long cold winter…thinking I could escape it and for the most part I did my going home to New Mexico for the Month of December.  Though it did prove to be cold there more than normal and even snowed twice while I was there!!! A rare occasion indeed:) But I escaped the 25″ of snow reprted by neighbors and friends back home on the east coast! So I am thankful for that and so many other things like our neighbors shoveling out our driveway for us:)

I promise to write much more on my time in NM but for now I am playing catch up on goings on in the studio. Above is a photo of one of the commissioned knit pieces that I am working on for Amy….and I have a beautiful black pair I am working on for another client as well:) Sadly these guys have taken a bit longer as I have been swamped in the studio working on the new book “Furbily-Furld” and various projects. So I have been working on these gems whenever I can fit them in. They are inspired by Bella’s gloves in the movie Twilight:)  So I really want to get these babies finished up in time for them to enjoy them this winter!!!

Now this is one of my latest projects. A while back I was accepted into the “Landfill Artist Reclamation Project” http://www.landfillart.org/index-2.html

They sent me a pre-primed hubcap!!! It took some time for me to bring it to life…a definite challenge to work on a sloped serface and still make the illusion of a flat surface. All in all I am very pleased with the way it came out.  It will be published in a coffee table style book and keep your fingers crossed…maybe even make it into the traveling show!!! Exciting…I really hope it travels so that people all over will get to experience it first hand:)

I hope all of you had a peaceful holiday and I am wishing each and every one of you all the best in the year to come:)  Let’s make the best out of what this year brings us…whatever it may be!!!

~Cheers~

This past few weeks I got some pretty cool things in the mail:) I just had to share!!!

I have been very blessed in this life with some really amazing friends. And lately in my journey through Etsy I have had the Opportunity to meet some extremely talented people who have fast become dear friends…

One of these fabulous people is Bonnie

She made me this beautiful “Robot Family” for me in a trade for my book Nikita’s Journey:)

So she was walking along the beach with her son talking about my book…and along that walk they picked up these two beautiful rocks shaped like angle wings. She said that she thought they belonged to me….and so she sent them to me:) Now so everyone knows these shape of rocks are really rare there and she also sent me a vial of the pebbles that are usually found there on that beach…So these are truly “Special” to me and it just makes my heart smile… like we were sent a sign from Mazzy…a truly special gift. Here is a pic of what she sent me…

Please visit her SHOP as she has so many wonderful creations that would make truly meaningful gifts for the upcoming Holidays:)

I then received this box from my friend Maria She knitted me two pairs of socks for my Mom and Dad and then she was so kind as to add a pattern, needles and a ball of yarn:) Such beautiful colors….made from Tofutsie Yarn

and the yarn itself is also made with “Chitin” so it’s naturally antibacterial:) I’m going to make her a beautiful bag to put all her knitting stuff in!

Then I got another package in the mail from my lovely Aunt Jean:) She sent me a CD from the Cherokee Nation and this cute collection of earrings!!! Check em out!!!!

And lastly I have an update on my Landfill Art project! I went to hang out with the girls in my art group last night and got the chance to do some work on my hubcap:) I got a lot of feedback and so here is where it is at today…

I hope you enjoy!!!

~Cheers~
