New Yarn Bomb

This is my second bomb in town.  I have another one I will display later in the coming week.  I want to make it a little bit bigger.

They were crocheted.  Actually a few weeks ago they disappeared.  Someone ripped them down.  I have another one, a telephone pole: http://www.cnyartscenter.com/Yarn_Crusaders_Wanted.html

Sunflower Coaster

I totally forgot about my actual first project with rug hooking.  It's a coaster that is rather large, so it can double as a trivet.  I am currently working on a rug hooked purse with pinks, purples, blues and greens.

Coloring Book Pages

As a very active member in the CNY Arts Center, I have been volunteering to create posters, logos, invitations, table decorations.... and more.  We are going to be participating in our local Memorial Day Parade and we will pass out pamphlets, sell water and lollipops and pass out little coloring books and crayons for the kiddos.  I designed some little guys with the basic figure from our logo.  I had fun and I think they came out pretty well.

Recent Work

I recently finished my first rug hooking project.  I have it on my dining room table.

Here is a small refrigerator magnet I made for Kim.  It represents Brandt and Kim's cat Mr. Butters.

These are a pair of thrift store shoes for Clayton.  I decoupage-"d" comic strips on them.

Here's a picture of my sweetheart cat, Cezanne.  The chair mat underneath him is my second large(ish) rug hooked project modeled after Cezanne.

Pet Portraits

Here is a recent painting of some malamute puppies.   I offering pet portraits as a business.  I will be hanging flyers in local vet offices very soon.  I am working on a link on my art portfolio blog for those who are interested.  Stay tuned!

Valentine stuff

 Here is another gourd vase.

I made these magnets and painted a bunch of them attempting to imitate the ones at Sundance.  When I tried to sand off some of it to show the texture more paint chipped off than I wanted.  Today, I decided to cover them with tissue paper.  With more colors of tissue paper I think they would be a little nicer, but overall, I'm happy.  I have more to finish....

 Some hooked heart magnets.

A cute note Clayton and I made.

Hooking, An Angel

Here is a closeup of my rug hooking project and an angel doll decoration I made several years ago.
