Studio Update

I am always interested to see other people's works spaces and I thought you might too. Remember that work bench I made last year? I am now quite settled in. You can also see part of the second work bench that we made for Richard. It wasn't quite as complicated because we didn't need to fit a flat file in it.

And of course our dutiful helper Oliver Wiskers in her favorite spot, right in front of where I am trying to work.

Recycled No. 2 Pencils

Now available at the Plaid Peacock! I started with pencils that are made from recycled cardboard and news paper and sanded their surface. Then I cut up the inside of security envelops, books, and maps to decorated them with. They are finished off with a clear coat and a white pencil cap eraser.

Tough Decisions

This is my entry to the Cute Monster Design Challenge over on Deviantart! The final design was made in Adobe Illustrator and seven colors were used.

If you would like to see my design turned into a tee shirt you can help it along by following the link and clicking the "I'd Wear It" button at the top right hand side of the picture.

Happy Valentine's Day 2012

I hope everyone is having a great day with their loved ones and friends!

These are some wool felt conversation heart broaches I made to fashionable sport during Valentine's day this year. I was thinking about making some for my Etsy shop but it took me an embarrassingly long time to hand embroider the letters. Maybe sometime in the future!

Chicken Scratch Pendants

I took a fused glass workshop held at the Plaid Peacock by Chicken Scratch studio in January. We made 7 pendants, 2 test pendants, and 2 earring sets. 

I made these pendants by laying bulls eye confetti pieces onto a white background.

 These pendants were made using dichroic glass.

Cat Sheep Friend

When I was little my two favorite animals were cats and sheep. I would have loved to take a ride on a majestic creature such as this, as a matter of fact I still would.

I am trying to get back into some digital illustration. I created the line work traditionally and the coloring and textures were added in Photoshop.

Pink Flowers

I made some paper flowers for Valentine's day! Now available at the Plaid Peacock.
