Somerset Digital Studio Winter 2012

 I'm so excited to be featured in the latest Somerset Digital Studios Magazine! My entry features our sweet pug puppy, Matilda Pearl.

I've really enjoyed all the issues of the digi mag. There's so much inspiration!

"Holly Golightly" Tote Bag Swap!

I'm thrilled to be a swap hostess for the upcoming Artistic Affair's Breakfast at Tiffany's event. I'm hosting the Holly Golightly Tote Bag swap...something to tote around carrying art supplies or fun vintage finds.

The swappers all had to start with a muslin tote base, then add anything they wanted to make it "Holly" style!

Here's the sample I showed the swappers. I hand painted it all, added some bling, trim and flowers, and lined it with leopard print. It's big and roomy!

And here are some other little hand painted cuties that I'll be giving away that weekend...

She Art Workshop II Class

I've been having such a great time with Christy Tomlinson's She Art Workshop II online classes!

Here are a few things I made in her "class."

This is a huge collage that I made following steps of Junelle Jacobson, guest artist for the She Art Week 2 class. I think she kinda looks like me! I put the canvas in my guest bathroom.

Had fun with this sweet little pillow. I made about six so far...more to come!

Create With Me Magazine

I'm THRILLED to be featured in this issue of Somerset's Create With Me magazine!! It's a four page article on my annual art camp for girls. Hurray!

What a great way to share the holidays!!

International Quilt Festival 2011

Although I don't quilt, I LOVE going to the huge annual Quilt Festival held at the George Brown Center in Houston. Had an incredible time shopping through all the beads, trims, fabrics, stamps, inks, machines, and vintage finds! WOW!

Bride and Groom Signs

A close friend's daughter is getting married this month. She saw some bathroom signs in a wedding magazine that she was going to purchase...I stopped her right away. Here are the signs I made her instead. I used child photos of the bride and groom.
