The Tortoise and the Hare

I am so thrilled to announce that I will now be offering limited edition giclee canvas prints of my work. I can do them in glossy or matte finishes, though knowing me I will be offering other kinds soon! I just put my first one up in my shop.

Here is an example of what it looks like framed.

Here is what it looks like minus frame.

Sidewalk chalk

It's that time of year when the chalk comes out in our driveway. Here is my latest illustration. I will be off to the printers next week! :o)

End of an era and a big boy's birthday!

It is the end of an era (sniff sniff) no more crib! We said goodbye to it this week since my 2 yr old decided to pull a Nadia Comaneci and jump out of his crib with a big 'ta da'!! I love this crib and all boys used it so we took a photo before we dismantled it.

It was also my son's 6th birthday and what a day we had! It was filled with Star Wars and birthday cake and he had so much fun he said, "Mom, this is the best birthday ever!" All in all a great day!

Dahhhhling sculpture

Here she is:

I can't think of a name for her but I always think that she looks as if she is saying "dahhhhling".

Oh and she, along with my girl below WILL be going on etsy by the end of this week. I just have to get some felt for the bottom of both sculptures.

Creative block!

Arrrggghhh! I have about 15 sketches and 3 sculpts, and a painting started yet nothing to show for it. I have hated everything that I started so hence...not finished or completely ripped up and started again. I am finally working on something that I think that I might actually finish. So frustrating!

Also, it was my 10th annual 29th birthday LOL and my mother sent me this cool card by artist June Silberman of Ithaca, New York (very cool Mom, thanks!):

The coolest thing that happened this past week was my girlfriend Ellen showed up at my door from Florida and COMPLETELY surprised me for my birthday! I have never had one pulled over on me and both my best bud and my husband totally got me. It was soooo great! We had a great time! I think that has helped me get out of my slump. Phew...I feel all inspired again!
