Painting Fraggles

Threadless is doing a Fraggle Rock design contest right now, so I’ve been doodling Fraggles for the past few days. The prize is pretty awesome. I’d definitely be happy with the $2,500 cash and $500 Threadless gift certificate. BUT I’ve got to say, what I’m most excited about is the Doozer! How awesome would that…

A Painting for Joni

It’s finished! Yay! I managed to squeeze all of Joni’s cute kids into one 8×10 painting. It was a challenge, but a fun one! I used a different type of paper for this one and man did it give me trouble.. So frustrating. But I love how it turned out. I especially love the heart.…

Mini Painting for Joni

Joni from Six Cherries On Top won my giveaway last month and I thought it would be super cute to paint her a tiny cupcake with, you guessed it, six cherries on top. Aint it cute?! I’m keeping the rest of the handmade goodies a secret for now, because surprises are fun. I feel like…

Silhouettes for Hayley

I just finished up these silhouettes for Hayley from Welcome to the Mouse House. I love how the colors turned out on this one. You can’t really see it in the photos, but that beige paper has a fun pearly shimmer to it. (Made it hard to photograph though.) I think the mix of textures…

Fundraiser for The Domestic Doozie

When I heard that The Domestic Doozie was working towards adopting a special needs child from India, I knew I wanted to help in some way. With my little sister having Down Syndrome, special needs kids have a special place in my heart. (Love you Tesha!) Last week I sketched and painted this inspirational print…

New Paints

I went to Hobby Lobby last week to buy some embroidery thread for a not-so-top-secret-but-I’m-going-to-pretend-it-is-anyway project. And while I was there, as always, I started looking at the watercolor paints and I finally decided to just buy the set I’ve been wanting for forever. (The 40% off coupon made me do it.) Of course, I…

Brothers

I just finished these paintings for Sarah from Mom-Made. I love how they turned out! Such cute little boys. I had to redraw Miles because Flynn got a hold of that one and bent it right across his face. It wasn’t too much of a set back, I just traced the drawing onto a new…

Some Random Things

I bought a new pen a few weeks ago, and I LOVE IT. I mean, seriously, look how tiny that tip is. It’s perfect for mini paintings. Paintings in general really. I just love my pen. It makes me happy. That metal mechanical pencil is also pretty awesome. And I don’t know what I’d do…

Two New Mini Paintings

I didn’t realize that mini paintings would be such a popular Valentine’s Day gift idea. Maybe next year I should market them as such. They are tiny and cute. I like painting them. Want one? Last week a friend at work had me do a painting of his adorable wife. While he was showing me…
