Reindeer Ornament Sculpture

This reindeer sold over the weekend.  I got use to having him hang around the studio.    Looks like it's time to mix up another batch of paper mache.

I am very excited to be asked to participate in the Room by Room Redo Series with Katie Harding from Momsfavorites.com!  Mom's Favorites is tackling rooms of a family home and showing their readers how easy it is to make their home both kid and adult friendly. 

Today, my painting along with some of my other work is being featured in the post of her home office.  I think it looks great there! 

I am offering a 15% discount on my Etsy site for this special post.  When purchasing after "add to cart",  just enter MOMS15  under "apply shop coupon" on my Etsy site.

She also is featuring a lot of discounts and give-a-ways, too.  Very fun stuff!

New Phone Cover

 

I treated myself to a new phone cover with one of my images from Zazzle.   I picked red so I can find it in my purse!  Ha Ha

I just love the close up quality of these plaster paintings.  They have such great appeal.  Here I tried to keep it light, colorful and airy.

Creating this plaster background was very fun, but I had no idea what to put in the foreground.  I decided on a coastal bird, but it just didn't look right against all the cracks and texture. Then I thought of these crows and they definitely worked for me. 

SUMMER SALE (Last Day)

My Summer Sale giving free domestic shipping is ending today.  Now's the time to buy if anyone is interested in my shop now!

Crossing

Crossing 6" x 8", Mixed Media on Canvas Panel

I am loving this new look of impregnating plaster into burlap.  It is quite a process, and I am having fun experimenting with all the different things I can do.  I like to break the plaster to create all the little cracks and crevices.  Then, once the plaster/burlap is adhered to a canvas panel, it becomes very strong and stable. 

Doesn't it look great in  this black frame?   Unlike some of my other paintings which could go frameless, I love how this frame makes it pop.  It really makes the piece. 

You can purchase both here.
