Winter Wishes….

Jan 11 2010 001

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 is one of the busiest times here in the studio. I will be working hard pretty much every day as much as I can:)  To keep me motivated and going I will be trying to make a post every day to share what I have done with my current projects…

To start off here are a few of the things I just added to my Etsy Shop:)

These fabulous Reindeer are in need of adoption!!! Please say that you can give them a good home and a happy place to be for Christmas this year:) They can be Adopted here through my Etsy Shop

This is the first one I did that I have since named Tori:)

New November 004

She is so sweet and is availble as an original ACEO CARD!!! Only $10 and you can own an original:)  She is also available in print form.


I then painted “Thoughts On Fire”

New November 001


This one was so much fun to do bc I had a brand new toy:)  It’s called the “Spritzer” and available HERE. I have a few pictures  of it in use with my latest painting that I finished today called “Bunnies and the North Star”.

So it has been a fun toy to play with bc it works with just about any of my markers!!! So I can make all sorts of shading and speckled effect with it. So cool and so worth having on hand to play around with!!!

~Cheers~
