cool plaid interior

 

Very cool gifts to me from friends on my birthday. Thank you!!!!

 

Top: Sedums and succulents from my super cool and creative friend Becky. The Queen of upcycled vintage/industrial that reads Anthropologie. I don’t have the heart to break the cool tool box container of succulent starts apart! I will keep it just as it is!

I had started some pots around the yard with a few starts in them already, but got to B’s house and well, she knows “what’s up” would love to feature her yard & home. Just gorgeous!

 

 

Bottom:

My sweetie bought me a feedbag! Well that just sounded too funny slash horrific to his friends, but one of his co-workers, knows what they are!

You can check out additional bags here: http://www.feedprojects.com/the-bags

He is in a little trouble because it was the spendier bag, but then he justified it with “half the proceeds go to the care of Kenya”

Well ok then! I am thrilled with my incredible bag. I am so tough on my bags though. I think I will reserve it for special sketchbook outings! I really love it!

 

Two super special gifts! Thank you so much!

Printsource 2011

June 22nd, 2011

Motivating myself to start creating for Printsource 2011. I’ll be tearing myself away from MyLemonpie to do so. I’m a little obsessed so far!

Here’s a great article on Marketing I went through this morning from HandMade Spark. They have lot’s of inspiring and insightful blog posts for any of us out there starting out with online shops:

Meanwhile, I’m thinking of taking this design and making a fabric on Spoonflower. I think it would make a great tote!

 

old friend

June 15th, 2011

I was looking at some of my old artwork today and found this piece I did around 2002. It was one of my first and only paintings with blue. All the rest were red, orange and green. Someone offered to buy it from me, but like so many of us artists out there, I couldn’t bear to part with it. I still love this little piece and it actually inspired other pieces I have in my home or have painted for others.

I’ve really been inspired by so many artists and works of art I’ve been seeing around lately. It’s time to get back to the brushes. May be some mixed media pieces will be appearing before the end of the year. It’ll be great to get back into it and I’ll definitely share with you!

vintage goblets

June 9th, 2011


I created these lovely vintage goblet illustrations a few years ago and am now prepping them for my etsy site. I may add some new goblets before I release them, but I kind of dig how they are now.
Thinking of blue and red for the main colorways (above). Any other suggestions?
