Finished goth sculpt

Here is my latest sculpt. I am pleased with how she came out because believe it or not she was a bit difficult to sculpt because she is smaller in size than my usual...therefore her face is littler. She is 9" tall. She is also quite difficult to photograph and it is hard to tell but she is actually more purple than blue. Yes, I have a purple kitchen in my house, it isn't just bad photography! ha ha

So here are a few pictures. I will be posting her on etsy within a few days too.

Also here is my attempt for you to see her in the round as sculpture should be viewed. My son helped me spin her but it is impossible to get no sound and I am not one of those people who knows how to add music and stuff. Anyhoo, mute the volume and it won't be so bad. ;o)

My shop is open for business!

I am so excited...my prints are back from the printer and I have now listed some of my work on etsy.com! You can find them right here, listed below, or on a regular day, on the side bar of my blog. You can also find them on my website: www.amyshortart.com

Currently there are few prints but I am working on some sculptures that I hope to have listed by the end of the week.

Feel free to pass this information on to ALL of your friends and family!! :o)

My new illustration

Here is the latest finished illustration.

I am working on some sculptures and hope to post something 3D next but they take much longer to complete. I am also getting prints done. amazing how much time I don't have!! ;o)

Crazy yet fabulous weekend

I haven't posted this past week because my brother-in-law, Aaron, was visiting from London. We had a blast! He came for Ben's birthday...can't believe that he is 2 already! Our baby's birthday started with him going to the doctor's and finding out he has a double ear infection and while we were there he tripped over his brother's foot and landed face first into a cabinet! Got a lovely gash on the side of his head that almost needed stitches. Luckily we got the bleeding under control and held the slit together with tape. Poor kid, although he is so lovely you would never know that he was ill or cut.

Anyway, we went to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History on Saturday to see the dinosaurs. I have begun to really love dinosaurs. Never did I think that would happen but I guess that is what happens when you have 3 boys. So here are some funny photos that we took while we were there.

Max, Aaron and Ben acting afraid of the bear:

Then...heavy sigh...why is it so hard to get a good photo of 3 boys (click on the photo to see that the dinosaur behind Remy posed better than he did! LOL)...here is one of the attempts:

I will be posting my new finished illustration tomorrow. Just have bit left to do on it...stay tuned!
