My work in town...

With a little leg work I am beginning to get my work out and about in town. Last fall I was able to create some adorable magnets for the Sweet Life Patisserie . I have updated their collection several times since then. The magnets have gotten cuter and more refined since then. This is the most recent collection I brought to them:

I also recently was able to get my appliqued onesies into Sweet Potato Pie. Tony and Vincent and I stopped in there yesterday to touch base and check on the onesies. I was thrilled to see one of my creations hanging in their window as I approached the shop! (Must remember to take a picture and insert it here!) The onesie in the window was my adorable angel wing one. This is what it looks like:



Some other popular ones there are the raven,

and the ice cream cone.


I have also done some customed appliqued onesies. I created this dolphin set for a woman searching for a hawaiian themed new baby-boy gift set.


I created this raven for someone looking for a "sweet" raven. The dark raven above of course owes it's existance to this little pink girl! I made a matching burpie to go along with this.

Getting Out There

It has been too long since I've updated my blog. I hope that all of you will forgive me!

I have been keeping myself very busy these past couple of weeks with art on every level. Not too long ago I received an order for two custom jesters. I have been spending my time studying river otters and wolves.

The otter is now sculpted and painted and even has all of his whiskers so I am setting him down to sculpt the wolf.

This is going to be a laughing wolf, which presents some unique challenges since I have not yet sculpted an animal with such expression! I am looking forward to the challenge however. They will both be adorned in berets and jewels and ruffled collars. I brought in the finished otter head along with the rest of my jesters to the Art Of Glass a local glass shop/gallery that features artists monthly for the Last Friday Art Walk to see if they would accept my work. They loved them, especially the otter! Looking through Noni's calendar I couldn't help but to drift towards October. Tony and I are great lovers of Halloween. So my jesters will be opening there on Halloween night. How perfect is that! I already have ideas up my sleeve of black cats and crows and maybe even a vampire or two! If you are in the area stop by in your costume and say hello!

Today I took a stack of my appliquéd baby onesies into a local shop, Sweet Potato Pie, to inquire about consignment options. They loved the onesies and wanted them all. I am anxious to see how well they do, or don’t do, over the coming months.
