Adopt a Critter for V-Day!

That's right! I'll have several new critters, perfect for V-day gift-giving, at the Watson Galleries' Valentine's Day Show tonight, from 6-10 pm. There will be oodles of fantastic artwork, jewelry, and gift items from a variety of artists there as well- and of course, complimentary beverages. Come in from the freezing cold and do some shopping, perhaps even for yourself...

Here's a sneak peek of two of my new Year of the Rabbit pieces, Fortune Rabbit and Yao Guai:

Stay warm, and hope to see you there!

It's their Year!

Ok, so I am a little late... Happy Year of the Rabbit! The Chinese New Year began last Thursday, 3 February 2011- a little early this year. Last week was definitely a great week for critters, since it also included Groundhog Day on February 2nd!

Rabbits have always been one of my absolute favorite critters, so I've created five new custom vinyl pieces for this holiday, plus a couple of paintings are in the works as well. You'll be able to see the vinyl critters at the Watson Galleries Valentine's Day Show this coming Thursday, 10 February 2011, and the paintings will be exhibited by Sculptures By Design at the Hotel Sorella, on Wednesday, 23 February 2011. More information to follow regarding both events...

Motivation!

All I can say is "Wow" after seeing Handmade Nation this past weekend! It was so thrilling to see hundreds of people turn out for the screening of this documentary and many of them stopped by our Etsy Houston table to make our Valentine's Day paper craft too. Yay! I just LOVED how the beginning of the film showed a bunch of people schlepping all of their boxes and containers from their apartments to the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago, IL. Just like all of us! It was so interesting to see the workshops of many of the artists and most of their interview responses were pretty funny- it was a fantastic night! In case you missed the screening, both the book and the DVD are available for purchase at BUYOLYMPIA.COM

After being so motivated, I thought I would include a sneak peek of some of the Year of the Rabbit pieces I am currently working on. I've become rather fascinated with the signs/critters of the Chinese Zodiac... More photos to come soon!
