New Work

Just listed this weekend in my Etsy Shop. Keep an eye out for more new pieces later this week too.

Kitties Everywhere!

Well, not really everywhere ~ but everywhere I need to be! The first picture you can see Max. That is my work desk chair he has claimed. I left the room for a second and he moved right in. When I told him to get down he turned around and made it clear that he was not getting up anytime soon.

So how about sitting at the computer and checking my email? As you can see in the second photo, Sam decides he needs to sit right behind my head. Yes, he is on the top of the chair back.

My studio helpers are not being very cooperative tonight! I am thinking that I should take the hint and just go and watch TV.

My Latest Etsy Find!

As a mixed media artist, nothing makes me happier than a a huge stash of jewelry, bits, pieces, beads and random goodies. I have hit the jack pot and I owe it all to SeagoddessVintage. She was looking to detash, and I was lucky enough to come across a listing in her Etsy shop. When I convo'd her to see if she had more available, she did not hesitate to look through her collection and find a bunch of things for me. I was more than happy to take it off her hands!


After sorting through this lot twice, I am still finding pieces that I have not seen yet. There is enough stuff here to keep me busy for a long time.

Thank you Seagoddesvintage!

A Milestone!!!!

I have hit 100 sales on Etsy!!!

Above are the pieces that sold just last night to bring my total number of sales since May of 2006 up to 100. Thank you to all of my customers, friends and family who have supported me. :o)

To celebrate my 100th sale, I would like to offer free shipping on all Collage Art Magnet sets. This offer is good until Wednesday, April 16th. Just type "100" in the message to seller box at check out. And be sure to stop by my Etsy shop for new designs and pieces for spring.

One Million Peace Signs

Besides spending my online time on Etsy, I have recently developed an ever worsening addiction to Flickr.com. I spend hours per week just looking at photos, uploading photos, commenting on photos and finding more groups to join. It is so much fun and I have met so many amazing artists!


The peace sign you see to the right was a recent custom order. After uploading it to my Flickr, I was contacted with an invite to post the picture to a group called "One Million Peace Signs". When checking out the group I was so moved with what I found. It is such a positive and wonderful project and it involves people from all over the world joining together in the name of peace.


Their goal is to collect 1 million photos of peace signs in one place. The group has over 2000 members so far, and that number is growing everyday. They even feature the uploaded pictures on their blog or web site. As of today they have "6,535 photos from 2,385 members in 92 days" My peace sign was on their blog on March 22nd.


Anyone on Flickr can join and upload their pictures. Just go to their main group page to read more about them and click to join!
