New needle-felted friends. The Little Gray Cat is up in the store now, along with the Totoros, and the rest are coming soon!

yeah, i like birds and stuffffff

So, I have been making new things lately, like some crazy New-Thing-Maker of sorts, and I thought I would share. Some birdy brooches, a new horse/zebra girl, and... ZOMG IS THAT A NOTE CARD SET?!?! Yes, yes I am branching out to paper goods. (The section is small, but it's fierce.) I'm working on a new commission of cheapsters birds, and I also might have another show July 10th... then there's Comic-Con with Justin, and Tiki Oasis. WHOA. Busy busy.

But for now, here's the stuff!






I also made this for Jordie. You may not know her, but if you do, you know she's rad, and has an even radder (the raddiest?) blog, possibly ever, and especially if you like movies and monsters and cool things of that nature. (Who doesn't?)

QUEEN BEEEEEEEEE

So, here's those pictures I promised! These are some terrariums I've built (exclusively) for the Queen Bee Boutique. They won't be available in my store, only at shows, because they're super fragile and would get all shaken up in the shipping process.






P.S. Come check out the Queen Bee Boutique THIS SATURDAY from 10am-6pm in Carlsbad, CA. It's gonna be packed inside and out with amazing vendors, including myself!

gnome what i'm sayin

Makin' some gnomes for a new product I'm finishing up. I'll post some pictures from my show, new plushies, and lots of other cool stuff soon. Promise!

zombie apocalypse disaster prepardedness

If you know me at all, you know I am obsessed with zombies, zombie apocalypses, and being prepared for said disaster. I also have a keen appreciation for TREEHOUSES. So, combining those loves was easy, because if given the ability to prepare before a zombie apocalypse, I would (obviously) build myself a badass treehouse town, a la SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON.


You can click on it, it gets way bigger.

WHAT UP WIT DAT?

Here's another not-so-sneaky-peek at that postcard set I'm working on.


And our figure model today had a ton of tattoos and A FRICKIN' SNAKE! A FRICKIN' BOA CONSTRICTOR! IT WAS TOTALLY SWEET! Whoo.




So, there's some life drawing, surprisingly I don't outright SUCK, since I rarely go, and some colorful bits. I used crayon to simulate her fake tan. :D

birds on the brain

I'm working on a new project- a set of postcards. Here's one of them.

More amazing art via Kid Pix. Special Thanks to Maureen, who is just plain awesome.


Also, added some new artist's blog links, including some people from Ringling, and some very talented coworkers of mine. Go check 'em outttttttttttt.

recycled vintage

So I bought this dress on Etsy a few weeks ago-


And I'm short. 5 feet 2 and 3/4's inches, actually, so I hemmed the heck out of it this morning. I also changed the buttons, because they were old lady buttons, and I thought they would work better on one of my art dolls instead.





So, now it's about a foot shorter, with more modern buttons, and super fun to bounce around in. Thanks to Justin for the sweet pictures in our parking lot at work!

----Queen Bee Market----

If you're in the area (San Diego/Carlsbad), or even if you aren't, you should come check it out. I'll have some NEW products available, one of which is called "Felted Friends". I'm making a few this weekend, so pictures will come soon.

Woot!
