2009 calendars here!
I am so flippin excited to share these with you! They are beautiful and would make such a wonderful gift. I am offering two options. The first is 12 individual panels featuring illustrations of YOUR snapshots. Each picture is hand drawn in ink and then digitally colored, printed on gorgeous paper and mounted to wood panels. Here is a little peek of the calendar I made from our family snapshots.
Candid pictures work best, as do images that show the subjects whole body.
The 12 panel calendar is beautifully packaged, bound with italian cotton ribbon,
I am also offering a single image large print calendar…
You can see more details and purchase them here.
oh alice!
Have you seen the pictures of the filming of the new Alice in Wonderland movie dirceted by Tim Burton? Wow, can’t wait for this one!
seeing circles
New in the shop!
I have many more in this series that I will be adding today and throughout the week. Also, right now it is offered mounted to a Birchwood panel, but I will be offering them as prints as well.
taking a peek around
the house today at a few things…
finally framed and hung the underwater pic from our vacation
my new favorite light in the house (and winner of the most improved bare light bulb ever!)
and a peek at a new piece, just one in a series that will be available beginning Monday in my shop!
oh, and happy weekend!
its gone to the birds
swifts to be exact. I have been playing around a little bit with cutting paper and texture and here is the result…
My extra hours while the kids are at school have afforded me the opportunity to play and it’s so much fun. You can see more of this piece here.
seeing white
new work (more to come) and painting the walls
addition and subtraction
I am toying with the idea of offering my wallpaper panel art as cutouts as well (ie subtracting the image instead of adding it through paint).
The wood panel is just too pretty to hide, I think.
(note that this is not a finished piece, don’t want you to think I’m a slacker in the craft department)
what d’you think?
New wallpaper options and designs to come! Here’s a quick sneak peek!
Olio United
This weekend the gorgeous store Olio United is having a one year birthday party. I have some paintings hanging and am also selling prints. Stop by and see all their amazing stuff. This paper airplane mobile used to hang in their window, how fun would that be in a boys room?
Also, tonight they are having a silent auction of TOMS shoes to benefit Transitions Cambodia.
today I’m loving…
these adorable little wooden families from fellow etsy seller Goose Grease. I am seeing a little family project in our near future. You can also order them customized to match your family (you know how I love portraits!).
…and these little beauties! Found here
music posters
So back in the day my bedroom was covered in music posters. Yes, even the the door sized posters. I met my husband at a concert, so a few years ago I gave him some beautiful hand screend posters of some of our favorite bands. I am tempted to add to our collection with these…
available at the small stakes (via oh joy.)
more colors!
I was having so much fun with this new piece I thought I would offer it as a print in several colors. It is now available in brown, blue and orange here!
Bremen Town
Bremen Town Musicians by the brothers Grimm was the inspiration for this new piece. These will be available on my website for purchase in several colorways this weekend, but for now you can find it here.
work…
little bit of this…
The days are getting away from me around here. Last week we went blueberry picking
and the kids have been working away on some paper mache
while I have been working away on some projects of my own
I decided (cause hey it won’t be that hard!, yeah right) to swap rooms with the kids’ play room and move my office/studio in. I always underestimate the time these things will take, but am really excited because it will be a much better fit for both rooms. I spied this great faux floor mat over at sfgirlbybay that will be a perfect fit in my studio. Maybe it will satisfy my obsession with painted white floors!
under the sea (ok the pool)
Three posts today, I think that’s a record for me! I just really wanted to show some pictures I got back from our vacation. I took a disposable underwater camera and had a little fun. Believe me when I said it, I am running out of wall space! I am so in love with these. I’m still waiting on my holga film to come back. It’s like the old days of waiting to get your film back. I actually really miss that, the surprise of what you captured.
violet
I recently participated in a gift basket for the lovely Jennifer Garner and her daughter. I created a painting in my line portrait style. I hope she likes it! (you can see it below near the bottom left)
new in the shop
A quick post to let you know I have a new print in the shop, along with a lovely hand painted frame. I love the color, I almost kept it myself, but I’m running out of wall space!
lots to share!
I have been working on these for a while now, weaving together different aspects of my work into a new line of children’s art. I really love how they have turned out. I have painted some charming little silhouettes onto wallpaper and mouted them onto these gorgeous wood panels. They are available now on my website under wallpaper art, please take a peek!
