What's in store...

June 25, 2007 · Artsy (Mine), Craftsy (Mine)

Here are some of the very fun items that will appear live in my shop on Tuesday at 2:00 EST:

A new (big!) painting that was completed over the weekend:

Some_girls_1392  
Twins    11"x20"x1"     Acrylic on wood

I went crazy over the giant wooden plaque that it is executed on, and this seemed to be the perfect image for it. The edges are painted a beautiful light pink. I'm a little bit over the moon for this painting!

A few simple, kinda illustrative hedgie paintings that I also wrapped up this weekend (both measure 10"x10"x1", and are acrylic on canvas):

Bluehedgie_2

Greenhedgie_2

And I am SO excited about these:

Some_girls_1414

Some_girls_1412
I made  a very limited run (5 to be precise) of beautiful prints of the Wolfbaby image that originally appeared on the teatowels! They are printed on gorgeous, toothy white Arches heavyweight paper and each is hand-embellished with light pink glitter. They are signed and numbered, and arrive sleeved.

Some other little fun things for the update:

Some_girls_1406_2
Some lovely little pocket mirrors...

Some_girls_1404
and adorable, unlined hedgie journals/sketchbooks.

Happy Monday, everyone!
It's back to work, back to work for me.

love the twins painting. it reminded me of our conversation at Renegade and you saying you wanted a red and white striped tent for the fair and then i mentioned the circus.
i'm also very fond of wolfbaby.

For my mom, I want the hedgie Mama hanging clothes with her little one; of course I'll wait till it comes out as a print (please make this a print!) since I never make it to the shop updates in time. My mom still does this...hates to use a clothes drier. Me? I dry all my clothes in the machine! Cute work!

I want a glittery wolfbaby so much! Only 5 in existence? So cruel - it makes me want one all the more but also makes it so unlikely that I'll get one... I'm off to try to work out the time difference so I can hover around when the update is scheduled to happen. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

i so totally adore the siamese twins. i just watched freak for the first time and they remind me of the movie. but i am not sure i will make it to the update...i gotta go have lunch with mauricio to be caught up on public health gossip and may not make it back in time. :(

risa · June 25, 2007 at 06:09 PM

Everything you've posted is just so fun.. an enchanted expression of the most amazing little world that you create and share. :) I love that hedgie riding a snail.. I hope he gets there in time!

tiffany · June 25, 2007 at 06:18 PM

I love the twins! They look great in the shape of the plaque. You should be over the moon.

Megan · June 25, 2007 at 08:14 PM

wow! love the one with the snail! so cute! the twins connect to each other right?, so they are connected at hip? or leg? oh yeah they have 3 legs! (just realise) lol

Yiyi · June 25, 2007 at 09:13 PM

everything is beautiful! I especially love the hedgies hanging their socks out - so cute!

cassie · June 26, 2007 at 07:02 AM

oh that painting of the twins is incredible!!!!

stilettoheights · June 26, 2007 at 08:35 AM

Oooh, I adore the twins painting!

I had a quick question about your paintings: do you scan them and then post the images or do you take pictures of them? Scanning seems to get so expensive if one doesn't really know how to do it oneself...

Ky · June 26, 2007 at 09:58 AM

Yeah! can't wait! I think my teenagers and i are addicted to your site and all its goodness. Question?? When are you going to add buttons? We will gobble them all up.
let me know.

Irina · June 27, 2007 at 11:58 AM

I'm totally new here, but just wanted to pop in to say: Your paintings are completely awesome. The pocket mirrors are my favorite.

kerrianne · June 27, 2007 at 04:00 PM

I love your designs. Very nice!

Enzie Shahmiri · June 27, 2007 at 10:48 PM

aww everything is lovely! i like your expanding range - especially those mirrors!

jsut a question, the floral patterns behind the hedgie on the unlined notebooks... did you design those patterns yourself? they're so sweet!

Lindsey Clare · June 28, 2007 at 02:15 AM

I really like your hedgies and your colors too!
