The Year In A View-My 2010 Wall Calendar

Here is my new 2010 Calendar~ I don't have too many new items in my shop. But, this is one. I have combined many of my images into one pleasing arrangement to surround the calendar. It's 16 x 20 printed on matte finish paper. Ready to ship~ check it out!

Shimmers Sweet Terra

The Shimmer's Sweet Terra choker:

Using my own art for the design...I have a little Gocco print as the focal of this pretty choker in terra cotta and gold. Surprisingly, this color combination goes well with many other colors, navy (a natural compliment to orange tones) browns, greens...

I purchased my supplies for these new choker style necklaces from both http://DIYSTASH.etsy.com and http://SUNANDMOONCRAFTKITS.etsy.com. They are both fabulous to work with! Make sure to stop by!!

The cord is deep chocolate brown, 18" long and the cord itself is 2mm thick, lobster clasp.

Don't forget that I'm now taking credit cards~ send me a notie throught Etsy and we can proceed with your purchase!

New projects: Paper design

Here are a few items I've been working on...

Poplar Leaves Gocco Print

So, this is my first print with my PG Arts for paper, and I had a great time staying up until 1 this morning to finish these! Now, I'd like to talk some offbeat bride
into having me create her save the date cards and or invites with a design similar to this...perhaps using some common fish shapes and earth tones with be cool too! The offbeat bride is my new true soul mate! I just discovered her and I can't wait to read her book. I was just called a bride the other day by my hubby of 23 years, and I'm sure he and others think I more than qualify the offbeat part too. Offbeat bride is my soul mate and this is just one reason: I really believe that just because you are getting married doesn't mean that you need to wear the same shoe that everyone else has. Be different, be yourself and have fun planning and attending your own wedding. Find wedding components that display your personality and originality. Why not have orange and hot pink as your colors? The most beautiful bride I ever saw, wore a iridescent pea green strapless dress. She was stunning, amidst flowers found on a mountainside in Montana and sunflowers grown by her family in rich fabulous colors. I wish that would have been me! I'll see if I can't find some pictures some day of her.....sigh

Oh...and don't forget to check out the prints and more images of the poplar leaves on Etsy!

Gocco'd Wedding Invites

Well there is a bit of a glare on this image, but you can see it well enough I think. The ink is silver and brown on navy colored paper. It's a 5.25 x 5.25 card. This was all I had time to photograph this am before heading to the dentist office for work, but I had to put it up! I hope my lady in London will be pleased she has a beautiful set of wedding stationery coming her way soon!

Hot off the printer...

This has been a fabulous project to work on with a really terrific couple. 200+flat cards with a custom design to emulate a rock concert poster. I think it turned out awesome. I'll be printing early this week, get the envelopes and screen print the address on the back flap of their envelopes and shoot them off into the mail!

More Wedding Designs!

Here are some screen printed RSVP cards I'm printing for a wonderful gal from the United Kingdom. In this case, my client has designed the stationery and I'm printing them for her. This has been a great project, but challenging as well! I'm fortunate in the image above, that the silver ink is showing up nicely! The heart is printed in brown ink, a little difficult to decipher in the photo. :) They look amazing...

New wedding stationery

These were printed from my printer and created from one of my insta-designs. I really enjoyed creating the star fish image. My printer adjusted to the small size of these 4bar cards very well. Much better than some of the same size in one of the pearly papers I'd used in the past. This is a heavily textured Strathmore paper, a nice watercolor paper actually. A very nice choice~

New Cards

I've added some new greeting card designs to my shop~ The paper I use is a heavy watercolor paper with a beautiful deckle. Funny how I have dozens of cards lying around and not so many available in the store!

The Groovy Fish Tank-Small

Details about this strappy tank are within the link of the title of this posting, I also created some flat cards with the same ink on saffron colored heavy cardstock. They look fantastic, I can't wait to list those too!

Jelly Bean Soup Funky Print

I really like the background in this image, I would love to concoct a card and stationery design from this. This image is printed on canvas. More information is here but contact me if something was missing!

Forgotten Fave--Stationery Mini Pack

I so heart these stationery packs! I was putting together about 20 of my monkey stuff

Head down and PEN down!

This is another component from one of my sample custom stationery packs created from my friend Rowan's artwork. Creating these stationery packs are so fun for me especially when I can take something totally abstract and ad a few simple elements to make funky creatures such as this gator face. Then I added flowers and ground cover by creating a pattern with some of Rowan's painting. These cards really did turn out fabulous!

I have been extremely busy with the many freelance projects. They are each so different and so exciting, I can't wait until they are completed and I can show them off! One of them is doggie for sure! I'm really savoring the process, I hope it's not getting tiresome for the project's creator! I can't help it, I'm really not sure anyone enjoys illustration, creation and design more than I possibly do! Another is a soothing babe to work on, pure bliss! And, another is Namely, fabulous and creative. Does that share enough information? Probably not, but I had to post something in my bloggie blog. It was beginning to snap at me when I surfed past it to read other blogs.

We have family visiting this week, we are so excited. Charlie's brother, wife and daughter are coming for a week. They are coming from Twin Falls, Idaho, and need to see the green life of Montana! We might even drive into the greener part of Idaho for a day float too. Which is one of my favorite things to do.
