Delightful News of Late


My faux fur stole is featured on the cover of the third volume of Pinnacle magazine!  I couldn't be happier with the styling and photo.  Love that birch tree wallpaper too.  I think it would be quite wonderful if I could cover my entire apartment in it...
Anyways, back to the magazine!  I had written about it previously here, but you should really go check out the full online edition on the official website.  There is some really great art, including a wooden piece overlayed with prints of Chinchillas, titled 'x10' by Christopher Lees of Wooden Coasters.  Word on the street is that there will be a bunch of these glossy magazines being handed out at New York fashion week!


The second exciting project I have been working on is a full scale peacock for JoAnn Fabrics to introduce their fall line of products... featuring peacocks, of course!  This is the largest Horrible Adorable I have made yet.  Look to scaled image above.  The bird ended up being approximately 3 feet tall, but it's ornate train is even longer.  


I enjoyed putting in all the flowery details and meshing their concept with my stylized approach.  


Perhaps this curious bird will make an appearance at Crafty Bastards in Washington DC.  I suppose it just depends on if he will be comfortable with the room I have left in my car!  Toting so many boxes and display pieces is a problem I encounter with every show, but hopefully it can be solved with a new super collapsible display board.


Cheers!

Art Star Gallery and Boutique - Artist Feature

I am more that excited to be Art Star's featured artist this month!  Please visit the shop and check out all my creatures.  If you can't make it to Philly in person, head over to their online boutique here!  I also have my bio and artist statement there, in case you ever wondered where these crazy critters came from.

My picture is on their homepage!

Here is a little preview of some of the creatures you can buy through the site.  While you are there though, make sure to check out all the other goodies and pick something up for yourself!  I am especially in love with this "Forest Woman" print by Julianna Swaney!

Studio Images

A big thanks to Art Star Gallery and Boutique for posting a super sweet interview about my Horrible Adorables!  I re-posted a few of the images, but you can visit the Art Star blog to read the full article here.


Each colored scale is hand cut and arranged as a colorful pattern.


This is my favorite part in making each creature!  The finishing touches really bring each animal to life.


Ta-da!  I'm finished with this one... but you can be sure that a bunch more are on their way!

New Item - Mini Trophies



These miniature trophy plaques make a great addition to any existing collection of Horrible Adorables or as a starter piece for beginning one!  Heck, for only $45.00 a piece, you may want to snatch them all up!  They will be making their debut at "Art Star Craft Bazaar."  (I especially loved making the giant pom-poms to top some of their heads... doesn't the teeny creature look so disgruntled by his fuzzy do?)
