sneak peek inside the new studio

{during}

I was so happy to find these wood floors under the

carpet + a layer of subfloor.

It took a bit of elbow grease,

but they are going to be beautiful once they are refinished!

Three little inklings

soon to be in the shop

with a few of their friends.

Paper!

Astrid made it into this sweet treasury curated by mostrini.

Three cheers for bottom teeth!

{I love this photo}

D and I always take dashboard photos when we are on a road trip.

This one was taken on the way to Christmas at my folks.

I think I captured Dodger's expression quite well~

Like dog, like owner?

new story {no.3}

*sedrick only wants a friend*

Sedrick could never understand

why everyone was always afraid of him.

He was happy to find 

that the strange creatures growing on the hill 

 did not seem to mind his company.

new story {no.2}

*he thought there was a party*

Micah thought that he was headed
to the company costume party.
Too bad he had his days mistaken~
tonight was the board meeting.

{ORIGINAL}

*NEW* for 2010

Each original and corresponding print

now comes with an additional

{hand-written}

description card!

*

My stories have been lacking with my newer peices,

and I think that they may have been a bit missed.

*

So, this week I will be working on writing 

little two to three sentence descriptions about each 

character or scene.

*

I will be including each description card with 

originals and prints from here on in.

{Sorry, not postcards at this time}

The handwriting will vary from the picture on the listing

since I will be writing each little card myself 

instead of using a print.

I will be posting them on the blog after each one is complete.

Here is the first~

*

*he holds the stars*

He wishes that he could hold her heart.
Instead, he is a creature in the sky~
holding the light so that she may see in the darkness.

This year, I was asked to donate a piece to

Many Faces of Women~ an art auction to benefit WORD.

Rather than choose one of my older works, 

I decided to create something fun and new.

It is not quite finished, but I wanted to give everyone a sneak peek.

I will be posting more information when the event is a bit closer.

IF*undone

If she could only find

where the ribbon needs to be undone,

she may be able to save the enchanted bird.

I was in the paper!

I always, always forget to take a picture of my MADE fair booth.

Luckily, this year I was in the paper~ hooray!

It was super busy all day long, and I had a blast.

I can't wait until the summer fair *^_^*.

Many thanks to Carol Lynn {REcreate designs} and Angie {Natural Elements Jewelry}

for all of the hard work and heart that you put into creating such an amazing

Missoula event!
