wood slice paintings

I made these wood slice paintings the week before the SF Renegade fair not expecting anyone to buy them. I was pleasantly surprised that I sold 4 out of 5! Two of them I sold to my booth neighbors, Paul and Kat. They were such cool people and I hope I get to see them again. My favorite wood slice was the woolly mammoth which Kat purchased along with the raccoon for her boyfriend Paul as a surprise Christmas present. I was sad to see the woolly mammoth go, but I am so glad that it went to a good home. The only one that didn't sell was the gray squirrel which I will put up in the Etsy shop. Tomorrow I will try to update the shop with the new stuff. Check back!

merry christmas and happy new year!

This holiday greeting is quite belated and I apologize. I've been recovering from the Renegades and trying to get over a bad cold. However, my husband will be working all night long tonight and sleeping most of tomorrow so I'll have lots of time to try to post some pictures from the SF Renegade fair and update the Etsy shop. It might be a bit sad spending most of New Year's by myself, but I'm actually looking forward to working on stuff and getting back into the groove I was in while working on illustrations and crafts for the fairs. So please check back soon to see some new things. And most importantly...Have a Happy New Year!!

renegade craft fair los angeles holiday 2010

These are some photos from the Holiday Renegade in LA from this past weekend. It went pretty well besides it being pretty hot outside! I didn't get a chance to walk around very much, but hopefully at the San Francisco Fair this upcoming weekend I'll get to take pictures of other booths and put them up here. Thanks to Erin Dollar for letting me share a booth with her and Malachi and my parents for helping me with customers in the tiring heat.

gift wrap tie-ons

One of the things I'm most excited about for the Christmas season is that I'm going to be giving away free gift wrap tie-on things for each Small Adventure item purchased both online and at the Renegade Craft Fairs. All the tie-on elements will come packaged in a little bag and will include plenty of hemp twine, a miniature pine cone twig, and a tiny plastic animal. I am a big fan of gifts being well packaged and this will certainly help make your presents look spiffy.

So visit the Small Adventure online shop or come visit me at the Renegade Craft Fair in LA or San Francisco and pick up a hand drawn print, set of cards or other handmade object and receive some pretty cool gift wrap materials. There will be a shop update with all the new things in a couple of weeks so stay tuned for that.

renegade la christmas!

Come visit me at the Renegade Craft Fair on December 11 and 12 at the LA State Historic Park in downtown! There will be lots of cool stuff to see and I think you will have fun.

a preview of things to come...

Small animal paintings for a North American Animals Map Print I'll be finished with soon. This print will be part of a series.

A much smaller version of the big Reusable Felt Envelope! I like the smaller size better. It's only slightly bigger than the Reusable Felt Air Mail Envelope and I've added some extra details. All these need are the "to" labels and I'll be all finished with them.
