That was a long tease!

Sorry, I kinda forgot to come back and post the real pictures of my newest creation! I have started making mobiles out of my paper flowers, and I have to say they are lovely. Very ethereal. Perfect for babies or for whimsical wedding decor!

Teaser!

I'm off to get better pictures outside...

Rock Lobster!

I had a customer inquire about lobster artwork, so I up and did it! I think they go really nicely with my other ocean themed prints; the Crab, Jellyfish and Octopus.












Then I went wackadoo and did a ROCK lobster! :)

Doctors and Slugs

So I spent all day today going to doctors' offices either for appointments or to pass out my business cards to OB/GYNs. It was a productive, if not long, day. And when I got home, after dinner and playtime, I just had to finish this piece and get him up on Etsy. Slime is the new cute!

Ferntree Flower Bouquets

Just a couple pics. I finished wrapping the hydrangea stems. It looks really lovely with the simple bow and super long streamers. Apparently this is a big trend right now. It's all over Martha Stewart Weddings, etc.

Christmas in July, sort of

So I went out and about last week looking at local Atlanta boutique stores. I found 3 I really liked, Beehive Coop, B. Braithwaite, and Young Blood Gallery. I've got some things in the works for the other 2, but right now it looks like I will for sure be at the Beehive Coop starting in August! That means my artwork will have a retail outlet for this year's shopping season. :)

I have to figure out how to merchandise 2, 2 foot square wood tables. I'm thinking I'll take them some bookmarks, cards, prints, some small paintings that can stand up on their own and these collages I've been working on.



Anyway, I'm super excited, but I've got printing to do today, so this is it for this post!

Life and Art Updates

Well we just got home from 2 weeks visiting my family in Australia. Wow that's a long plane ride with a toddler! He did great, but we are fighting some major jetlag...

Our trip included Richard's first visit to a beach! Does it make me a bad mama that I let my 1 year old eat beach sand because it made a cute picture? He did spit it out after all. It was also a bit windy.

I do have one gorgeous little boy though!

As for my art, I've been busy like always. I've been featured on a couple great websites, including Babble.com's Top 50 Etsy Moms!

I've opened a second Etsy shop called Ferntree Flowers, where I am offering luxury custom handmade paper flowers for weddings, special events or home decor. I'm having a lot of fun with paper and colors and glitter, oh my! :)

Anyways, you can see that I have a LOT going on! I hope to keep you updated more often, but I can't make any promises based on my past inability to blog! ha.
