More to Show

Here is a few more pieces! A hanging moon and star mobile, Moon King table top piece, and a snowman in the works. Don't mind the JUNKY work table! Believe me when I say that I truly have a real working studio- very rarely is it perfectly clean. Especially this time of year!!!

Show Crazy

I have been working non stop for the last couple of months and I am about burned out! I am so excited though to pack up and go to the shows again this year! I love making new pieces, meeting new and old friends, and seeing all the vendors set up their wares! I love show season even though it is a long haul to get there. I have some great things waiting already to be boxed up for the trip and they are some of the best work I have done! Some of my favorites I don't even have a picture of yet! These are a few that are waiting to be boxed up- patiently waiting! I love the grasshopper pulling the cherry carriage on the right and the circus seal in the front. I have WAY too much fun- BUT you have to have a passion for it because of the work involved in each piece. Well, I don't know if I will get to post again before the shows start, but I hope I can see some of you there! I will post below the two shows I will be at this year and I would love to see you guys! Now I have to go and work some more- there is a studio full of glitter, clay, and canvases waiting for me! See you soon!

New Prints for Fall

4New Prints for Fall! These are a few illustrations that have been riding around in my notebook for awhile and I finally got them painted this weekend. I hope to make them into Christmas ornaments in the near future, hopefully for the shows I have coming up. I hope everyone is having a great weekend, and I hope to have more to show you soon.

Working like a MAD Woman!

I have been working non stop trying to get ready for some art shows I have in November. These are some pieces I have finished in the last week. I took a break from painting canvases for awhile and worked on clay pieces. Now, it is back to painting! I hope to work on new ornament ideas this weekend, but I have been sick for a few days and I am not moving really fast! I hope all of you are staying well and maybe I will see some of you come November. I promise to have lots of new things that you just can't live without!! I will have more info for you as we get closer.

3rd weekend in November- University School Christmas Show in Jackson TN

another sneak peak

Here is a snippet of two new canvases to come! I don't want to show it all because there is going to be a third little girl in this soon to be trio- a sweet little red head! They will be some of the smaller canvases that I will be offering soon- this fall. I am still trying to decide what the third little girl will be holding- a green frog, brown monkey, or a kitty cat! Any suggestions?

Sneak peak for one of our new designs! Coming soon!

I have been wanting to try this for sometime now! Create my own Fischtale video! I hope to add more in the future, but for now this is a sneak peak of an up coming design. We hope you enjoy watching- let us know what you think!

Picture taking-YUCK!

The hardest time I have is getting those perfect shots of my products! You see these beautiful photographs on Etsy and other people's blogs- I struggle with that! I have things sitting around that could be put up on different websites but getting that perfect picture is killing me! So frustrating! The right angle, the right setting, making it interesting, keeping the junk out of the background- so hard! These were the best photos I got after working on it half the day with two kids- I am done for the day! Calling it quits! Know one of those days?
