It's the 20th so It's Time for Nibblefest!

I have been looking forward to this month's Nibblefest theme--A Dog's Life--since I printed the schedule for this year back in January! I knew I wanted to do a fun mixed media dog. Once I got the basic sketch down, he just sort of told me he wanted to be blue. This happens sometimes with paintings. I think he's rather sweet. He's on e-bay now with a super low starting bid!

This Chick's on E-bay


Pink Chicken, 4.25" x 3.5", acrylic and mixed media on 1.5" wood

I have a little thing for birds and chickens right now. And a chicken with polka dots. All chickens should have polka dots, don't you think?

This little lady is on e-bay now.

IF - Detach

This is my entry for Illustration Friday. The theme this week is Detach.

Shelly always felt very detached from the other girls. Maybe it was because birds talked to her.

Inspire Me Thursday - Opposites


This is my entry for Inspire Me Thursday. The theme this week is Opposites. Could any two groups of people be more opposite than Dog People and Cat People???

Now on E-bay!

This Is What I Do...

...while I watch the Olympics. These are for my darling nieces who I'm going to visit in September.

Dogs and Cats and Chickens and Lambs...and a Tree

I'll take better pictures outside tomorrow, but here's a sneak peak at the paintings I'll be listing on e-bay this week.

Another Sewing Project

Hey, sewing is fun. Who knew? I'm just learning, but I'm having so much fun with these little pillows. This one is for my son. I never know if he'll like my stuff. He's such a boy, but he seemed really excited about this one. I made it from fabric from a shirt he just outgrew. (I LOVE finding new uses for old things!)
It's the same size as the Peyton pillow I showed earlier--9"x9". Perfect to throw on the bed for decoration.
