vampires

I know this Halloween post is a day late, but I just found this super cool illustration by Kaye Blegvad and had to show you all. I really like her work a lot. Her portfolio website is right here.

Happy Halloween!

polaroid box

I haven't posted anything in awhile because of my laziness. But here's something I've been up to.

My friend Bryan wanted to give his polaroid-loving friend something special for her birthday. So I made a polaroid box (fashioned after one of the designs of the old polaroid boxes) with some "polaroids" that she can slip some of her own pictures into that have the name of her blog embroidered on them. I hope she likes it!

I will be getting ready for the upcoming holiday craft fairs and will try to be more diligent about posting my work-in-progress on here.

estate sale finds...

I went to an estate sale yesterday with some of my buds and found some cool art work! I am excited to put it up on our walls.

If you like the two lower left hand series of drawings, you might like the work of Scott Campbell. He has a very similar drawing style and does some old timey illustrations as well as many other things that are super cool.

more crocheted friends...

learning to crochet

These two animals are my first attempts at crocheting. It took awhile to figure things out but now I think I understand some of the very basic stitches. However I started a new animal last night and I don't understand it. I'm stuck.

new card in the works

A new card I am working on. This is also my first attempt at using gouache.

shop update!

Whew. Finally. Done.
