Flowers for 4 Years
As talked about Tuesday, my spin on a bouquet for our 4 year anniversary. I had hoped to make at least 8 of these and other elements to fill out the bouquet, however each octopus takes about 3 hours. Coupled with the other work I had to do and eventually getting sick from not sleepingContinue reading “Flowers for 4 Years”
Christmas Skunk
I have been doing a lot of work with sculpey lately, making ornaments. Wanting to change up from making loads of snowmen I decided to sculpt one of my sketches from the summer. These sketches were simplified animals drawn in chalk on our driveway for my son. Given that I love the less lovable animalsContinue reading “Christmas Skunk”
Take Your Mark!

Worm
Just before I had my son I got horribly addicted, as in 6 to 8 hours a day, to one of the facebook apps, PackRat (a game where you gather card collections). To end my addiction to the game I forced myself to play while I was having serious morning sickness which, worsened when IContinue reading “Worm”

Keith Zoo wraps up well what Purrcasso is, shares his submission, and gives some links to other awesome artists who are contributing! Here is a link to the Purrcasso site.

Painting with Fall
They say the season you love best will be the one you are born in. I was born in the spring and always loved spring until I moved to New England. All right it helps that my husband is a huge pusher of fall but, the changing of the leaves is magnificent. Every year IContinue reading “Painting with Fall”
Stuff Made!
After a stirring blog post by Dani I sat down this weekend and tackled some art I have been planning to make for Halloween since July. No more being completely absorbed in crazy books-although, I did finish book 2 of The Hunger Games-or family things-even though Matt mandolined(sliced) off a sizable piece of his thumb-wouldContinue reading “Stuff Made!”
