Some silver, gold and white

I am getting my shop back up after a nice summer break: restocking inventory, buying new paints and brushes and finding excuses to get most of the completely irrelevant stock at Michael's. While at it, I realized that I really am out of a lot of my paints AND down to my last white travel mug. The new mugs are arriving next week but for now here are a few BLACK mugs done in silver, gold, and white paints :)

Halloween is almost here!

I love Halloween, not for the creepy skeletons and creepy movies on TV but because it has a lot of special events surrounding it. My husband and I met at a Halloween party. His birthday is October 30th and my mom's on the 25th, and of course you can't beat Halloween's colors. Orange and black - you just can't go wrong!

I will admit I have never carved a pumpkin. Me and sharp object generally just don't mix but this year I did make a couple of contributions to our pumpkin patch:

And of course, what's Halloween without spiders. Here are a few that have taken residence around here:

I hope your Halloween are coming along nicely! Cheers :)

New Addiction - Hand Painted Pottery

I have to admit I've been seriously cheating on illustration. A few weeks ago I discovered painting on pottery and glass and I am absolutely hooked. I've been spending 90% of my art time trying out new techniques and designs. I want to update the blog with a few designs and will spread them out over several posts. I hope you like them.
